    "Learning Language Arts Through Literature" NEED HELP!!!!

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    I rarely use the TM for the yellow. I have not read thru the entire TM for the discussion lessons but so far what I am seeing is like this.

     

    Lesson 4, Day 4 Part a says in the TM---- we learned about adding suffixes to the end of a a word in lessons 2 and 3. Now we will add -ing to words ending in -y.

     

    But the thing is it is right there in the Stu wkbk in the grammar guide instructing the proper way to add -ing to words ending in -y. I just go over the grammar guide box in the wkbk without lugging the huge manual out to help me with the sentence or two above.

     

    Now, like I have said, I have not used the entire year yet, but so far I have not needed the TM. The grammar game played toward the end of the year is described in the TM and not in the Swkbk. There may be more.

     

     

    Agreed... with the yellow book you can definitely get by without the TM. After we worked with LLATL.... we went on to Total Lan. Plus. For us it seemed to work a bit better bc it focuses on one general topic throughout the book like... prepositions.... etc...

    Has anyone by chance heard of or used A+ Tutor Soft math? It doesn't look like it has been around for too long (mabye 6 yrs or so?). It looks interesting but would like more "experienced" opinions on the program. We have been doing TT the last several years. This "new" program looks similar. Any feedback on this would be appreciated!

     

    Thanks!

    Easy Grammar, yes. Daily Grams, no.

     

    Easy Grammar was my favorite. I don't think that formal grammar study is necessary until the dc are 9ish, though.

     

    If I were hsing again, it would be Easy Grammar for 4th-ish, then Daily Grams, then Easy Grammar 6th-ish, then Daily Grams, one final Easy Grammar (Plus), and *maybe* one Ultimate. IOW, not Easy Grammar every year, and not EG and DG simultaneously.

     

     

     

    Thank you for this! This makes really good sense. I think this will be our plan for the next year! Have a 4th and 6th grader.
