    I am going to be mentioning CGE to a friend today who's son will be entering 8th grade next year. He really hasn't had a lot of grammar exposure. Where would you recommend he start, in the grade 4 book?

    If you like using the TT cd-roms then you could use the Saxon Teacher cd-roms. They teach the entire lesson and go over each and every problem in the lessons and on the tests step-by-step.

    Thank you Hunter!! That really helps knowing that we can start with grade 4. I am going to try and look for this at the convention next week. I will look at the writing portion and see what we may need to cover before beginning. We have a whole year, so I think we'll have time. :lol: Thanks again.

    Cut and pasted to new thread. :001_smile: Hopefully I got it all.

    Thought I'd move my question from the other thread here so others could see it as well. So, could a student start in the grade 4 book or would there be too much missed to do so?

    Here is what was in the other thread that prompted a new thread. Hopefully I got it all. :001_smile:

    Thanks Lori!! I was going to cut and paste and start a new one, but it wasn't by thread so I didn't want to step on any toes. :001_smile:

    So, could a student start in the grade 4 book or would there be too much missed to do so? ETA: posted this question in the new thread linked below. Could we get this started in a new thread? We might get more traffic from others that have used CGE too if the thread title said CGE and not LOE. :001_smile:

    I would love it as well. Sent you a pm. :001_smile:

    Thank you so much! I just ordered this. :001_smile:

    Thanks. :) I am headed to our convention in less than 2 weeks. :D The first booth I am hitting is LOE. I still had some things I wanted to pick up to use with ds, but wasn't sure yet what I wanted to use with dd.

    Linda has finished writing Volume 4, but there is still a lot to be done. There is no release date yet. However, she specifically stated on the MOH 3 yahoo group that volume 4 would not be ready for the fall of 2013.

    Jean, what all did you buy to use with your 15 yo besides the teacher's manual? I was thinking about going through LOE quickly with dd as her spelling is not where I would like it to be.
  14. atozmom
    There is also a forum for LOE. It's a great place for questions as well and Denise even pops in and answers them herself.

    I would love to keep everything. Not for me, but to have a library for others to look through. If someone had a question about a certain curriculum, I would love to just hand it over and say "here, look at it for a while and see if it will fit your needs. Go ahead and borrow it for a time." I envision this great library full of books where anyone could come over and just browse. Yes, that would be my dream room. :D However, our tiny house does not have enough room. :tongue_smilie:

    I didn't sell any of my "treasures" to purchase LOE either. I sold what we were done with and what did not work for us. I don't just rely on online samples, I have to have something in my hands to see how it will work for us. So I usually buy and sell a lot. :D
  17. atozmom
    Was the lecture recorded and are they selling the cds or mp3s?
  18. atozmom
    :lol: Yes, I sold books like crazy to get the money to purchase it.

    I am working on teaching DS cursive this summer as that is the workbook I chose. He has been asking to learn cursive for a while now so this worked out prefect. We will also be using the game book to keep what he already knows fresh.
  20. atozmom
    I was trying to do the same thing, but then I watched her 45 minute video. After that I ordered Uncovering the Logic of English. I read through chapter 14 the first night. I downloaded all the samples and was excited about what I saw. After a few weeks, I decided to take the plunge. :lol:
  21. atozmom
    I would LOVE to sit in on one of her lectures. I do already own the game book, teachers manual and student workbook, plus "Uncovering the Logic of English." I love the game book and I know my son will too. I will be picking up a couple of other things when I go to the convention. I can't wait to get started with DS, but I am going to patiently wait until Fall. It's great to hear about additional youtube videos coming soon.
  22. atozmom
    Could you expand on this please? Was this in a lecture she gave or in talking to her at her booth? :bigear::bigear::bigear: I so wanted to meet and speak with her but she will be in CA when our convention meets here in FL. :(

    Hmmm....maybe I am thinking of another program I was looking into? :confused: Just for curiosity now I will have to see if I can find the reviews. :tongue_smilie: It's great to hear that it is a stand alone curriculum! I am hoping that our R&S vendor at the convention will have some available to look at. I'm not sure that I remember anything but R&S there though. Maybe Rainbow Resource will.
  24. atozmom
    Just a quick question about CGE. Is it a comprehensive program that stands on its own? I have heard a few reviews that it was only meant to supplement another grammar program. :confused: We will be taking the relaxed approach still next year utilizing the grammar that is in LOE and including grammar in our writing too. However, I will be looking for grammar when we finish LOE. I had thought I would use JAG with ds, but I really don't think it will be a good fit for him. ETA: Sorry Lori!!! I just realized I was hijacking your thread. :leaving:

    Jump ship! We were also on book 5 and decided to abandon ship. It was just getting too redundant. We will be starting LOE in the fall. Until then, he is just going to do a lot of reading.
