  1. I am wanting to find a curriculum that teaches all the types of literature (fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, etc.), along with story elements (setting, plot, point of view, etc) but also covers figurative language.  Are my expectations too high? Does this curriculum exist?  😊

    It would be for students in 3rd-6th grade.

  2. I think Scott777 summed it up very well!

    My 5th grader just finished Hake 5.  I had him write answers in the student book, which is a huge time saver, rather than writing out the answers in a notebook.  We didn't do the writing portion of it.  It was very open and go and he could work independently most of the time, unless he didn't understand something.  On average, he would spend about 20-30 minutes each day on a lesson.  

  3. My 5th grader just finished Hake 5.  I liked it.  It was open and go and he was able to work independently most days, unless he didn't understand something.  Lots of review in each lesson which is needed with my ds.  We didn't do the writing part; just the grammar.  I haven't had a chance to see the other levels so, I can't recommend the best place to start. Starting at a lower level might be better if your son hasn't had any grammar yet.  That way it isn't overwhelming and frustrating for him.

    However, if you like or need the spiral method, I think you would like Hake.
