Logic of English

I hadn't seen the homeeducators resource before. I just found something I needed at a good price! Thanks!

I had to add that this is me to a T! I have always enjoyed diagramming but please don't make me drag out lessons!

Thank you all! This is the feedback I wanted so I can start processing what to choose. I used a little Rod and Staff in the past. In some ways it was dry but the kids didn't seem to mind and I did see progress. My memory is that it was really lacking in writing but I will look. It may be that I just need to plan a different route for writing! Again, one of my weakest areas in the past. I also may just have to bite the bullet and buy AAS again! I know I liked it and it will probably be a good follow up after LOE. I can't find hardly any info about people moving on with LOE Essentials after Foundations. If anyone has feedback on that I would love to hear your thoughts.

I've been homeschooling for years (older kids are all in their 20's) but I am now working with my 5 year old. The one weak area the first time around was my Language Arts. I felt it was hit or miss over the years. My ds is doing amazing with Logic of English, I love it! He is in level C and really confident in everything he has learned so far. We will be close to finishing level D by next fall - I think we'll school some during the summer. Where next? I like curriculum that has small, incremental parts that I can use consistently every day. I need hand holding with the writing. I'm not too concerned about writing next year but I'm looking ahead. I picture him as a strong reader and he has great handwriting with a fair bit of stamina. I'm trying to think ahead in spelling, writing, grammar, etc. Continue to LOE Foundations? It looks dry and I can't tell how strong the writing is. I also love diagramming (!) and don't see that coming up. I really haven't found a lot of reviews of this level. AAS? I used this with some of the olders. I sold all my parts and dread buying it all again! And then I have to figure out writing and grammar. I'll probably be using Sonlight (I've used that most years) or Beautiful Feet for my history. I felt Sonlight's Language Art used to be very weak but I would be interested if others think it has improved. I've used bits and pieces of a lot of things over the year but I would prefer sticking with the same things for at least his grade school years. We also have the option of a small private classical school in a few years of I go back to work so I want him solid and prepared. Thanks for all your thoughts!!

I love Truth 78!

What's in the Bible - cartoon with a lot of depth!

You walked into an echo chamber. Don't try to argue it out, they'll go for blood.

I would love to start Logic of English with my preschooler but it is so expensive! I've been looking for used but people seem to ask for almost as much as the new. Any suggestions where to buy new or used? Thanks!

Thanks all! It gives us some ideas to look for.

Thanks, for ideas. Her local community college doesn't have it just the university. She was on the lookout for something online, cheaper, etc that she could work and do in the evenings.

My 20 yr old dd is working full time but is interested in graphic design. She just has a vague knowledge so far and is assuming she would need to do it online. So if you just wanted to get your feet wet and figure out a little more about the degree and pick and choose a few classes, is there any classes, online colleges, etc you would recommend?

If looking for a shorter, one month one, check out a new one by Tara Barndt on Amazon working through Philippians. Short but not fluffy.

They all really did pile on you didn't they? One of the reasons I quit posting here but occasionally read things. You sound like an amazing mom. Don't let the pile on discourage you.

Just encouraging you that we did this for our son. He is still using it as he goes to school but it looks like it will work out well. He has two roommates and they are all able to pay around $200/month less in rent than any thing else out there. We think we will sell at a profit but even if we don't the low rent for these years will make it worth it. The only issues have been expecting him to be the grown up and take care of all the bills etc and he's had a few not so grown up moments. Good training for him though!
