Honey Bee Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Originally used R&S this year, but just. can't. make. it. work. I really wish I could, so I'm just moving on...now my older students are using KISS and have completed the first section. We will continue doing KISS till I figure out the grammar thing. :banghead: For writing my 3rd, 4th, and 5th grader are using CW at different levels, and its going well. So...we need to find a complementary grammar program. I think I would really like AG, but KISS seems mighty similar, just with a crazy confusing website. The printable books are actually pretty logical and clear, we all are liking them. I've been looking at JAG for my 4th and 5th Grader and it looks like it would be a good complement to CW, but if by chance KISS would do the trick, we could continue that too. I really have tried to navigate the KISS site to figure out if they cover the same topics as AG, some I can say for sure, yes, they are covered, and some I'm not seeing it. Grammar terms explained, (KISS: Yes) Parsing, (KISS: Yes) Diagramming, (KISS: NO) Usage (such as s/v agreement, etc.) (KISS: ???) Capitalization and Punctuation Rules/Practice (KISS: Some????) Editing practice (KISS: ???) Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'd say, yes. KISS Grammar covers everything you listed. If you see the KISS Master Collection of Exercises on this page, you'll see what is covered in each level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3girls Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I think the only major difference is diagramming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
