Leftyplayer Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I'm trying to decide whether to do one lesson weekly or double up. The material says it can be done either way, but I'd love to hear your experiences and thoughts on doing it in 15 vs. 30 weeks, what you based the decision on and whether it worked out for your kiddos.

JudoMom Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) We've done them over a school year. Edited September 10, 2017 by JudoMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschickie Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 We did it over the 30 weeks. This took a bit of the stress off of dd with the assignments. It worked really well for us. I actually know some folks who do it in 2 years so that it is at an even slower pace. You know what your child can handle and you can always speed it up or slow it down based on what is going on with you at that moment.

Julie of KY Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I did SWI over about 15 weeks and SICC over the schoolyear. Generally, I do about one IEW dvd per month with assignments interspersed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAtoVA Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 My DS is doing SWI B online with IEW and the class is the whole course in 15 weeks. There typically are two assignments per week (plus Fix It Grammar) but they are only 1 paragraph each so far. It's fast but I think it's fine. He's in 8th grade.

ScoutTN Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 SWI B with a 5th grader who likes writing, 12 weeks. We doubled up some lessons that were short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssavings Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 SWI-A in 30 weeks with my oldest two, but we also went through the Partnership Writing section of Bravewriter and Writing Strands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importswim Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 We are doing SWI-B for the full 30 weeks. I would double it up and do 15 weeks but I am having both kids do it at the same time. I have a 3rd grader (so I modify) and a 7th grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
