We did a review for Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW), a program that helps students with writing skills. The program we recieved is Fix It! Grammar which has six levels of writing skills that begins with basic writing and works through grammatical skills. The early books of Fix It! Grammar help students to recognize the parts of speech, punctuation,
identifying phrases, main clauses, and dependent phrases. The Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) site
recommends that students start with Fix It! Grammar: The Nose Tree (Book 1) since all of their books build on each other. There are 33 weekly lessons to work through teaching edit and proofreading skills and each lesson is fairly short to work. 
There website has a lot of information including a few webinars, an intro video by Andrew Pudewa, there is also a placement test located on the site to help assist you in where to start your student before placing an order.
If one wanted to work ahead they could work a weeks lesson in one or two days. I was ok with my daughter working a page a day as long as she knew what she was doing and was not having trouble. Each lesson is fairly easy to understand for the child to work independantly if they choose. At the end of the last lesson in the student book they include a completion certificate.
Also in the back of the students booklet is a set of flashcards to help the student(s) to study and visually learn along with with their lessons. The very back of the book includes a Glossary Terms section.
