Ok, this is all new to me so I've been reading reviews about these 3 programs. I know IEW is not classical in theory but their reviews are pretty good. One of the reviews for Classical Writing say that they use a specific grammar style from a book that we are not using. It says that if you are not using that book (I believe is Writing Road to Reading) then you are at your own demise in how you will approach grammar. Is this true? Classical Composition, for some reason, seems intimidating to me. Has anyone used these books? I want to hear experiences, ease of use, etc. I know this subject has been talked about a lot but I will really appreciate any been there done that experiences.
My DD does not mind writing but I think she needs to improve in writing better and longer sentences so she can eventually move to longer and better paragraphs. She can do all of those but at a very simple level. She is going to 4th grade this year. I was thinking about using Easy Grammar with her this year. We used Voyages last year and was extremely basic and non challenging for DD. Writing is my most challenging subject as I do not feel I am well equipped to teach it. Science and Math, any day!! Writing, not so much! Thanks in advance!
