Rhonda in TX Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 My son will finish R&S 6 by the end of 8th grade. Could I give high school credit for Grade 7 and 8? Just thinking ahead here. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking ahead here. :001_smile: Yes--as a component of an English program. I wouldn't count them as a full English credit. We did much more writing and added in literature by high school. The grammar is fine for high school. jmoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yes--as a component of an English program. I wouldn't count them as a full English credit. We did much more writing and added in literature by high school. The grammar is fine for high school. jmoo We are using the grammar portions of R&S 7 and 8 over the four high school years. They are an adjunct to other English studies taught by our writing tutor. I just want them (him, actually, only 1 high schooler at present) to keep up with his grammar skills in order to be fresh for college entrance tests and college level lit classes. Also, diagramming will help when he starts in on a difficult second language next year. I think just finishing through Level 6 puts any kid far ahead of most other students when it comes to the amount of grammar learned in R&S.

Rhonda in TX Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 And yes, I'm talking about as just part of English - literature and writing would definitely also be a part of it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Along with a literature study, you would of course count 9th and 10th for high school credit. Not sure I'd count 7th and 8th, though. OTOH, it's your school. You can "count" what you want. The instructional materials used are not included on your dc's transcript, and even if you wrote a course description which included bibliographies, every book has a title--IOW, not just "Level 7"--so it wouldn't be obvious that the text was not high school level. I haven't seen a public school English book in a long time, so I don't know how R&S's English books compare. I just know they are GOOD.

FourOaks Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 So Ellie, are you giving R&S 9 and 10 each their own credit in high school, or are you including other things along with them and then giving credit? Trying to figure out how I will be doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
