madteaparty Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I am guessing BW Arrows is closest, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) You could have a look at Classical Writing Primers. I really like them. Eta link - http://classicalwriting.com/Primer.htm Edited February 19, 2018 by LMD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domestic_engineer Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I just looked over a BW Arrow for Ginger Pye that I got as a freebie, and I don't think it's like CAP's Fable at all. Fable is written to the student and very specific in what it wants the student to do. Arrow was written to the parent to pick'n'choose what activities to do/teach. Additionally in Arrow, the spelling words they wanted the student to learn were much harder than a 1st or 2nd grader level. Perhaps Cottage Press's Primer level?!? But it's still not really like Fable, IMO. (Because Fable asks for lots of writing .... writing activities like summarizing, dictation, and copiousness.). Just Write! by EPS might be require output more appropriate for a 1st and 2nd grader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Nothing. Read aloud and talk about it, practice copywork and dictation and narration with read-alouds. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 My dd loved the CW Primer at that age. We also did a little WWE. Other options that I checked out but did not fully use were 1900's texts like With Pencil And Pen by Sarah Louise Arnold and Primer and other books by William Swinton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventuresinHomeschooling Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 We used WWE before CAP and found it a wonderful age-appropriate foundation as CAP also included dictation, narration and copywork. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
