dancer67 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I am thinking of using OMT and answer key instead of EG 6. We have been very light on Grammar these past years, and since dd is 11, I want to have one good year of Grammar, and then really start focusing more on the Lit/Writing. Can a person, like myself, who is "good" in Grammar, but really "stinks" in diagramming, do this program?(I do have Mary Daly's book, but I really do not want to "add" another LA book to our already heavy schedule) If you look in my siggy line, this is our line-up. Somehow, I get the feeling we may be way overboard on Language Arts. We are doing SWO G. But no Vocabulary since I will assume that our Latin program will help with that? Or no? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlifemom Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hmmm, OMT is pretty hefty. I used it more for myself to help explain things to dd last year. This year I am doing EEL from Classical Conversations and plan to add some OMT for her. She has done rigorous grammar from 3rd grade up and will be in 6th. I love the book, it is very demanding though imo. HTH at least a little.:) ETA: I don't know SWO G so I can't answer your ? wrt too much LA.

dancer67 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Well, we have not done any "formal" grammar other then the Grammar in IEW. As far as vocab, I will keep SWO G, as that can be used as a vocab program as well as Spelling. Maybe we can give it a try. I am a little nervous about it. So if I come back in yelling and pulling my hair out, you will know why:D Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMominTX Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I think it is a great "mom supplement", but it is too light and not scripted enough for me to use it to teach a grammar class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer67 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hmmm, okay. Well, better rethink this then. Maybe I will just stick with Easy Grammar 6. We will have more grammar in IEW and our Latin Program as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 From what you've said, Shurley Grammar 5 or 6...is there a placement test? with OMT for your reference, might be a good fit:-) Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer67 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I have looked into Shurley, but hear it is very teacher intensive. I heard that many kids can skip level 5 and go into level 6. And I am not sure about a placement test. I will have to check on that. Thank you:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
