Connie,

I only have examined two Grammar programs for K-12: One is called"Multimedia
High School Grammar" and is usually on sale for about $10 from Staples or
Office Max; its produced by Pro One Software, Las Cruces NM. The other is
called "Grammar Games" and is put out by Davidson & Associates. I don't have
a copy of it on hand, so I can't really tell you more, except that it seemed
geared for middle school through maybe 9th grade - and that parts of it were
fun to use.

Both are on CD-Rom, are easy to use,  and are pretty basic.

Good Luck,

Paul D.
