Suzannah Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hi all! I haven't posted in quite a while, but am just checking in to see if there are any grammar options I might not have already considered. I just graduated my oldest (HS all the way through with WTM, YAY!). Last year with a senior, a move, a death in the extended family and all the other craziness of life, DD's grammar studies sort of fell by the wayside. She used FLL through 5th grade, then Abeka. We liked FLL because of the format which seemed to work well for her given her vision issues. She does read well, and enjoys reading books by sight for fun. But it is a strain and is very slow (most reading is via audiobooks). I'm not asking about vision therapy (thank you, but she is not a candidate). Just wondering if there's anything out there which would allow her to work independently and doesn't have very small print or cluttered-looking pages which contribute to eye strain and fatigue. I would be willing to consider video or computer-based options (she uses Phonetic Zoo and Teaching Textbooks and Apologia Science with audio) but would like to keep the cost down as much as possible. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 My daughter has used "Rules of the Game" by EPS, which is great but does have a lot of text per page. Last year, just to keep up with writing mechanics and remember things like "prepositional phrases" and "appositives", she starting using "Easy Grammar Ultimate Series: 180 Daily Teaching Lessons" (ignore the grade level... it doesn't seem grade 8 is much easier than grade 12). It's very short and sweet... takes about 5 minutes for my daughter to do one "Day". It might be what you're looking for and it does have a lot of white space.

TarynB Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I agree with PP. Unless they have changed format since we used Easy Grammar 4 (four years ago), I found the Easy Grammar books to be very uncluttered, in a clear font, with lots of white space. I'm not familiar with any video or computer-based grammar programs, but Homeschool Buyers Co-Op often lists electronic options for different subjects. You might try checking there.
