Jamee Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I just received my copy of Junior Analytical Grammar and I think I'm going to be very happy with it. I was reading through the info they sent about Analytical Grammar and how the first 10 weeks consists of "10 units (which covers what JAG covers.)" Are these units in AG the same as those as JAG? If you go straight from JAG to AG, do you need to do the first 10 units? Or would you do them quickly as a review? (I'm being VERY optimistic in that DS will actually "get" grammar after working this and Winston grammar. I can hope, right?:001_huh:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm being VERY optimistic in that DS will actually "get" grammar after working this and Winston grammar. I can hope, right?:001_huh:) I am using JAG currently with dd10. I was encouraged to begin 4th grade grammar with JAG, not AG. I can't imagine that they would be exactly the same, or there wouldn't be the need for JAG. But i'm just guessing here. We just finished lesson 6 in JAG. This is my dd's favorite part of school! I have to admit that I was ready to throw in the towel after lesson 4. Dd was really struggling with some of the concepts and I wasn't sure how she was going to get it by moving on. It is recommended in the book, however, that you do move on and that some concepts will catch up and become more clear as you work with them in later lessons. I was so skeptical, but we moved on as directed. Dd is finally really getting it and it really makes sense to me how they "name" every part of speech as they go. All that to say, Good Luck with the program and give it some time if it seems they are hitting a wall. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have all my kids do both, and section 1 also covers verbals which are not covered in JAG. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamee Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Thanks! I was figuring they wouldn't be the same, but just wanted to be sure. Since we're starting in fifth and AG was recommended for 6th, I was going to be a little upset if I should have just started with AG.:glare: He has a long way to go though, so he'll be needing all the practice he can get.
