sea_mommy Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 We school year round and our new year will be starting in October. There is no way that ds will finish R&S 4 English. Should I skip him to 5 or continue with 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5sons Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I agree. I would move on to 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 You.ll be fine either way. In our case, we always mostly just picked up where we left off. We usually did about 3 days a week of R&S. I ended up skipping R&S 7 altogether for odd, and she worked through 8 in 9th grade and is now working through 9/10 in 10th grade. I will do something similar with mdd I think.

sea_mommy Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 If he's starting 5th grade I'd jump to 5. A kid with no grammar background could start with 5. I agree.

He still forgets to use capitalization and we review a *ton* on basic parts of speech. Will he have a hard time skipping ahead to 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 We're in the middle of 5th. What we've found is that in each chapter that they start with review sections of the last year's new material and then introduce new material. For example, there are two verb chapters in the year 5 book. I list the grammar content below: Chapter 4 Verbs Verbs The Verb Be Helping Verbs and Verb Phrases Agreements of Subjects and Verbs Using Forms of Be and Do Verb Tense The Principle Parts of Verbs Principle Parts of Irregular Verbs Using Verb Forms Correctly Review Chapter5 More about Verbs Sentences With Direct Objects Sentences With Compound Direct Objects Principle Parts of Common Irregular Verbs Using Raise and Rise Using Set and Sit Using Lay and Lie Using Let and Leave Linking Verbs Linking Verbs With Predicate Nouns Linking Verbs With Predicate Adjectives More Troublesome Verbs Review As you can see there is definitely overlap with the year 4 verb chapter but all the new content from year 4 is reviewed. Given the struggles that you described, I would probably finish year 4 before moving on. If things are easy in year 5 you can just skip some of the sections or they can provide good review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I would finish 4 first and allow 5 to review and pack it all down in that brain. ;) My child who struggles with grammar gets the concepts, but needs lots and lots of review. Lots. Overteaching can be good for some kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
