angela&4boys Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 This looks very thorough and the assignments are broken up nicely throughout the week. It looks relatively new, but I'm hoping someone may have some experience with it.:bigear: Thoughts appreciated, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 We use it. I like it. It does move very incrementaly through the steps of an assignment and through the topics. The topics spiral from year to year. The Teacher's Instructions are pretty clear and they give you ideas about introducing the topics. It also includes some basic grammar study, though it is definately not a grammar program. It will introduce the topic of capital letters or commas, say, and have some of the worksheets include an activity about those. Friday (or the 5th day I should say) is a writing assignment based on the topic for the week. You are on your own for correcting that but the TG has answers for the rest of the the assignments. All in all it is a simple program for teaching some of the technical basics of writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdeveson Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 We've used it with very good results. Ds likes it a lot also -- he likes that he can do an assignment in five minutes! We've also used Daily Paragraph Editing from Evan-Moore with success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela&4boys Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Thank you both! I think it will round out our language arts nicely. Ds likes it a lot also -- he likes that he can do an assignment in five minutes!. That will thrill my 9yo. :-) Edited October 13, 2009 by angela&4boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
