Hello all,
Planning for next year - looking to follow more of the TWTM methods, but unsure of where to go with our grammar and writing. I have been looking at Rod & Staff, but I really don't know which level to start my DS. TWTM suggests starting him back at grade 5, but we have been doing grammar with Shurley, so I wonder if that would be too repetitive. He has a good grasp on grammar concepts, but we have not done any diagramming. How important is the diagramming? We could just keep going with Shurley and add in a writing program.
We need to work on writing, this is his weakest subject. Probably because it is my worst, and I have little confidence for teaching it to him. Need to have something that steps us through the process (more for me than him - especially for grading/giving feedback.)
Hoping for some guidance on which way to go next year. TIA for any and all help.
