Need input on what to do about grammar and writing

This year for DD (2nd grade) we used BJU English 2 and WWE 2.  I had only planned on using the grammar portion of BJU, but we ended up using the writing portion as I really felt dd needed more than WWE.  I have spent some time deciding what to use for writing next year as dd hates WWE (and I honestly felt like I wanted "more" for her).  I finally decided on CAP W&R and ordered Fables and Narrative for next year (and planned to just go slowly).  I then struggled with what to use for grammar....I was looking at Easy Grammar....but DD loves BJU, so I then considered still using BJU (but only using the grammar portion). I was talking to her today and she informed me that out of all of her items we're using, she does NOT want me to change her math (we switched over to BJU math this year from MUS last year after having many tears), and also her grammar (meaning BJU English).  She informed me she also really likes the writing part in BJU and after talking with her more, she seems to enjoy the creative part that comes along with it (in her words, "being able to write a lot").  So...here I stand completely confused on what to do!

I already purchased CAP W&R, so should I use it along with BJU English (grammar portion only)?  Or should I use CAP W&R with BJU English (grammar AND writing...since dd really likes the writing component of it too)? Or should I use CAP W&R and try another grammar program (Such as Easy Grammar)? Or use BJU English only (for grammar and writing)? Or other ideas??

 

My head is spinning from decisions with DD I can't even start to really think about DS yet :wacko:

I would use what she likes and add in CAP just as you planned. If she is learning to write well, you might consider dropping CAP after giving it a shot. Motivation is a HUGE plus.

Thanks! I'm thinking that's what I may do....continue on with BJU English (using both the grammar and writing portion), and adding in CAP next school year to try out.  Who knows....I/She may not even like CAP and I may want to drop it all together...or we may love it!
