Thank you!  I'll be ordering the workbooks :)

[WWE- Main book or workbook?t]

I have the main WWE book that we just started.  Now I am getting to week 2 where it "lets you go" to select your own passages.  Do you prefer this or the workbook?

[Help with placement]

I have a 9 year old who is very bright, reads well, but spelling and writing are a challenge for him.  We have never done a formal grammar or writing program until now, which is BJU 3.  I like it, but as a mother and teacher I don't love it- not sure it will carry over to real writing experiences and he needs the constant review.  Our method of homeschooling is Charlotte Mason and classical.  I was thinking about getting Writing with Ease teacher guide to use in our history selections.  But not sure where to start him/which level?  1?  2?

 

I was also thinking about First Language Lessons (but I am not a huge fan of diagramming sentences) .  If I do FLL, which level would I start him off at?  2 or 3?  Any other suggestions for a grammar program that does not require diagramming?  I want him to love English and writing and I feel the diagramming would make him dread it.
