Rod & Staff English 5 or 6 for 6th grade?

Last year was our 1st year homeschooling after public school and we used Growing With Grammar and we liked it fine.  After reading WTM over the summer and finding a cheap copy of R&S English 4 set, I picked it up to see if it might work for us this school year.  I liked what I saw, so I purchased R&S English 3 & 5 for my 3rd and 5th graders.  OF COURSE, I found a new (all inclusive) LA program weeks before starting school in August and just had to try it  :lol: !  At first we were all in love but then we zoomed through all the spelling lists and had to find something new for that, and the writing wasn't what I thought so started supplementing that as well.  We burned out quickly soon after.  Sooo I pulled out the R&S English and decided to casually try it a few weeks before Christmas break.  Turns out we all really like it and I should have used it from the start of the year!  The English 5 looked a little advanced for my 5th grader so I am using level 4 for her.  My question is am I OK to use English 5 (which I already have) next year for her 6th grade year or should I purchase English 6?  The other option would be to start on English 5 after break and do what we can the rest of the school year...then finish English 5 the start of 6th grade or skip to English 6 the beginning of 6th grade?   :confused1:   Thanks!!

It's fine to use it a year behind. 

 

My 5th grader uses it on grade level, but he started it in 3rd grade.  My 8th grader uses English 7 because he started in 6th grade, and I had read that if you start R&S after 5th grade, to just start at 5th and go from there.  It does seem to get quite a bit more difficult after 5th.  He's still getting a ton of grammar!
