Diagramming Sentences
My son is going to be in 8th grade this year and we've only done very basic grammar so far. I'd like to find a simple resource on diagramming sentences so we can go over that. Not really looking for anything too crazy, I just want him to get the concept because I found it really helpful when learning foreign languages.

I really like this one.

I find Rod and Staff overwhelming, but there's definitely lots of diagramming practice. My middle dd and I are using Nancy Wilson's Our Mother Tongue, which is straight to the point and from a classical approach.

I've heard Easy Grammar has it, but in fairness my high schoolers have never diagrammed a sentence.
The first time I diagrammed one for hubby he thought I was speaking alien, I like your point about a second language though.

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.

Here is a post from Julie at Brave Wrtier: Grammar Notes
We never did actual sentence diagramming here. I used Jensen's Grammar in high school with my girls, and then they did foreign language study. One did Spanish, one did French. We have the Nitty Gritty Grammar books.
This looks interesting, though I didn't watch it.
