The Mother Tongue Books

The Mother Tongue: Adapted for Modern Students

A classic is back. The Mother Tongue: Book II was first published over one hundred years ago, but the vintage grammar text from George Lyman Kittredge and Sarah Louise Arnold has a faithful following, even today.

The original text is all here, but with a fresh look designed to bring this classic to a new generation of students. New features will aid students in their study of intermediate and advanced grammar concepts. Margin boxes emphasize key points. Notes from the editors explain outmoded terms to contemporary students. The Mother Tongue: Adapted for Modern Students is suited for classroom, homeschool, or self-study settings. It is also an excellent grammar reference book.

The Mother Tongue Student Workbooks 1 and 2

All of the student exercises in The Mother Tongue: Adapted for Modern Students are now available in workbook form.

Kittredge and Arnold’s grammar book includes student exercises with sentences and language from real literature and writings of the time period. With opportunities to compose sentences, analyze all the parts of sentences, parse words, and practice punctuation and capitalization rules, these exercises are an important part of reinforcing the instruction found in The Mother Tongue.

Now busy students are able to work these exercises directly on the page, with instructions adapted for today’s student and plenty of space to write. The exercises are divided into two books, 1 and 2.
