Thanks, Parser,
Actually I have not taught Reed-Kellogg for about 10 years or more. However, this coming school year I am going to experiment with an eighth-grade class, giving them a crash course first in morphology and then syntax. A foreign language teacher, who follows me has said that he does not think students have the same ability to think about what is actually being SAID in a sentence that they used to. I have my administrator's permission to see if a more complete study of syntax can make a difference.
The approach I use is called "Atap
entka. Grammar" and "Atap
entka Syntax". I know they are strange names, but that is part of the charm. "Atap
entka." is an acronym that stands for "all the average person
ever needs to know about".
Images of the booklets I use are on my (practically abandoned) website --

Yes, I agree that Reed-Kellogg is incredibly useful. Some people say it is especially good for VISUAL learners -- to which I say "bullshit!" I don't think its usefulness is limited that way.
