Grammar-Land by M.L. NesbittIn this charming 1877 book of grammar instruction for children, we are introduced to the nine parts of speech and learn about the rules that govern them in Grammar-Land.
"Judge Grammar is far mightier than any Fairy Queen, for he rules over real kings and queens down here in Matter-of-fact-land. Our kings and queens have all to obey Judge Grammar’s laws, or else they would talk what is called bad grammar; and then, even their own subjects would laugh at them, and would say: “Poor things!
They are funny fellows, these nine Parts-of-Speech. You will find out by-and-by which you like best amongst them all. There is rich Mr. Noun, and his useful friend Pronoun; little ragged Article, and talkative Adjective; busy Dr. Verb, and Adverb; perky Preposition, convenient Conjunction, and that tiresome Interjection, the oddest of them all."

We listened to this book while eating lunch our first homeschool year. Grammar-Land by M.L. Nesbitt
We are going to revisit Grammar-Land this coming school year. Here is a .pdf of the book.
I printed out worksheets from dontneednoeducation.blogspot.com to use at the end of each chapter. The next day, we reviewed the previous chapters and move forward to the next chapter. Each chapter is about 10 minutes long when listening online.
