Natalija Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Dd needs review as her retention is not as good as it could be. She will be in 9th grade. She did "OK" with the R&S grammar so she needs to continue to reinforce and maybe relearn with something different....but hopefully something that won't take as long as R&S!! Here are some I have heard mentioned here: What about AG? The high school review version? Easy Grammar Plus? Our Mother Tongue? Other? Thanks for any input! BTW, I am planning in using TOG1 but I hear you need to add grammar, right? Thanks!! Natalija Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 we moved on to Abeka grammar and composition 1V. it is a great way to keep reviewing grammar, and takes a lot less time than rod and staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I think focusing on composition and then reviewing for the SAT would be a good mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Hen Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Here are a few ideas that we have used over the past 3 years (after R&S 8): Editor in Chief books --- (I took a break with R&S this past year with my 7th grader and just had him work in Editor in Chief @30/day. His IOWA grammar scores soared this year! For 8th grade I'm returning him to R&S7) Jensen Grammar, Jensen Punctuation Rules of the Game Princeton Review, Grammar Smart, A guide to perfect usage Painless Grammar, Rebecca Elliott Handbook of Grammar & Compostition, ABeka The Elements of Style, Strunk & White Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
