  1. Good idea. Maybe I’ll highlight some of the wrong sentences and ask her why they are wrong. It would be encouraging to see some self editing come through.
  2. Greetings guys, I’m hoping you can weigh in. I love homeschooling and embrace finding curriculum for tricky children. However, I’m a little unsure how to proceed with one of my kids. My nearly 13 year old daughter is very confident with writing. However, her writing is weak. Repetitive Sentence openers, fragments, run-on, sentences, etc.. When I originally homeschooled my kids, I was into the whole unschooling thing and it’s obvious we missed some basic construction around the third grade Mark. So now she writes me six paragraphs essays with no complaints, but the essays are full of problems in sentence structure. Do you have a suggestion about how I can help with sentence structure with an older child? The other kids I work with are all moving into classical composition from Veritas in the fall and I don’t think she’s ready unless we can address this. Should I put her in something else? Is there a program we could hit over the summer? she’s scoring incredibly well in her analytical grammar course and reading just fine. It’s just sentence structure.
