Easy Grammar
Cozy Grammar
Grammar Works
Winston Grammar
Journey Through Grammar Land
Ridgewood Grammar

Personally, I don't include publishers like ABeka or BJUP in this group, because those include more than just grammar. :-) But if I did, it would have to include BJUP, ABeka, Rod and Staff, Alpha Omega, CLP, and ACE.

JAG is intended for 4th or 5th grade. AG is intended for 6th-8th grade. They are by the same author. JAG covers the first 10/34 lessons in AG at a lower reading level, I hear.

Classical Writing - as it is more then just writing. I know they have you work thru Harvey's Grammar or something else but their analysis portion I also consider grammar work.

Winston Basic in 6th, TRISMS History Makers includes it in 7th, Winston advanced in 8th, then 9th/10th will work through the exercises in back of the Blue Book for Grammar in preparation for college testing.

I like that Winston is clear, uncluttered, has enough room for the student to work, has visual clue cards to go with it, and has built in review. I like that the BBforG contains concepts most often struggled with, but actually useful in the real world.

Yes, JAG has sentences that are more simple, only 6-8 sentences vs. 10 in AG per exercise/test, has a larger font (I have to re-type the AG ones, they are just too small!), and some of the units in AG are broken down into two lessons. For example nouns and articles are unit one in JAG, Adjectives are covered in unit 2, while in AG all three are covered in unit 1.
