How do YOU use Fix It Grammar?

We did the first book last year.  This year we are going to do Book 2, but I was wondering how other people use it? Every day? Together? Independent? How does the implementation look in your home?

I mostly have the girls do it independently and then we go over their answers together. Some weeks we do it as scheduled (4 days), other times we'll do the week in two days. We've also doubled up before and done 2 weeks worth in one week.

 

This year I plan to do the copywork as prepared dictation instead. I think that will help them think about the punctuation and spelling a little more.

I have mine do the day on their own during their independent work time. Then later I'll go over it with them and help them make any corrections before they copy it into their notebooks. We discuss the vocabulary word rather than writing it.

We go through the sentence together, discussing the vocab (sometimes finding it in the dictionary), labeling the parts of speech, and going over the flash cards if necessary. Then they copy the sentence on their own, and I check to make sure it's neat. We have doubled up when we need, but I try to keep it at one sentence.
