About

Shurley English is a grammar program published by Shurley Instructional Materials. The curriculum's signature method is the Jingle approach: students memorize short jingles that define each part of speech and then apply a systematic oral Question-and-Answer flow to classify every word in a sentence before diagramming it. Levels cover kindergarten through grade 8 with teacher editions, student workbooks, and audio jingle CDs. The program is faith-neutral in content but frequently used in Christian schools and homeschools. It is especially popular among classical and traditional families who want thorough sentence diagramming instruction.
