JenniferB Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 We're using it for 6th grade this year, but no comment yet. I've just thumbed through it. Anyone else use this? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 We used it for 6th, and have it again for 7th grade English. I like it, and even my Abeka-loving mother likes it. We had used Exercises in English, and Abeka in prior years -- but last year is the FIRST year the grammar seemed to "stick" with my son. Of course, some of this I attribute to my son, and not the curriculum. The exercises are educational in two ways (not a bunch of random sentences, but carefully crafted to provide NEW information to the student, a story about Clara Barton, and information about how surnames developed over time were in the first two exercises yesterday). So the child is gaining information and proper use of grammar/grammar reinforcement. The only downside is that it is not a workbook. Workbooks tend to go over a bit better better with my children, but it hasn't been too onerous. There are plenty of exercises (geared to a public school, so don't feel you need to do everything), with writing applications (we haven't used those much). All-in-all I'm giving it a "thumbs up."
