Grammar programs?

[alexfam]

Ok this is what we are doing this year.

 

1. Word Study workbook (more vocabulary than grammar)

2. Sentences to Paragraphs

3. Grammar Practice 2

4. 1st English grammar

 

This is our first year homeschooling and this is just what I got for this year b/c I just couldn't decide. I will go ahead and do these books this year, however I don't think they will last but half this school year.

 

What does everyone use for teaching grammar?

I used BJU in the begining and then eventually, Easy Grammar. I liked both. I have seen a few other programs that I thought looked good too so it would depend on what you really want in a program.

comprehensive grammar program in either Rod & Staff (which has books for all ages, up through 10th grade in high school) or Abeka. Supplementing it with a writing program like Classical Writing would cover virtually anything you would need. R&S and Abeka cover writing (I would skip Abeka's writing in the grammar-stage years), diagraming, outlining, research, parts of speech, usage and mechanics, punctuation and capitalization. They are both very thorough!

I fumbled around with grammar programs for a whole year after we finished FLL . I could have saved my child and myself a lot of time (and me a lot of $$$) if I'd just gone with Rod & Staff. After using FLL for K & 1, we finally settled with R&S and it was a very easy transition (child already knew parts of speech, prepositions, helping and the "be" verbs!).

 

For vocabulary we just listened to vocabulary-rich books on tape/read-alouds. I added Rummy Roots and Megawords later.
