Chloe Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 How are these different? Has anyone used (seen) both, and can compare them for me? I'd prefer the one with more word usage and punctuation than just identifying parts of speech. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5ray2006 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hi, From what you're wanting, I would go with EM Daily Language Review. I've used both. I purchased Daily Grams at the beginning of last school year to supplement my ds 2nd grade education. Then I found out that his teacher was using EM DLR in the classroom. I prefer DLR over Daily Grams. I like that DLR incorporates a variety of concepts- verb usage, word usage, spelling, contractions, punctuation, capitalization, parts of speech, etc...there's something different every day. The daily lesson only takes 5-10 min. per day. Also, it would complement any grammar program out there. You can check out Evan-Moor's website and see sample pages as well. As for as Daily Grams goes, I like it. However, it is very repetitive. The same types of questions are asked on a daily basis in the same order every day. I guess there is nothing wrong with that, I just prefer EM Daily Language Review. (but I do like the sentence combining section of Daily Grams.) Anyway, we are working through Daily Grams 2 this summer to keep things fresh. We'll start back with DLR 3 in the fall. HTH, :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I can add that Evan Moor is 1/2 a page and DG is a full page. I was trying to decide between the two and would have picked EM except I really liked the sentence combining portion of DG, so that's what I went with.

Chloe Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 I do worry, however, that my dc will get bored with the same type of questions/format every day with DG. I didn't pay any attention to the price difference. Maybe I'll let that be my deciding factor. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seewah Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Would it be bad to do both the DLR and Daily Grams? It seems like both could be accomplished in about 15 minutes/day, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
