SoCal Sandra Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Can the Shurley Grammar songs and chants be used along side other grammar programs? Which level has the songs/chants CD? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yes, they could! We used SG for 3rd & 4th grade, and dd memorized most of the songs & chants. We have now moved over to EG, and she uses the songs and chants to help her out frequently. They are all fact based rather than just geared to that curriculum.

jclinton Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 We used Shurley for first grade and although the scripts etc didnt work for us and we changed programs dd uses the jingles to help remember different things. I also have dd now in 1st grade memorizing the jingles as well even though we aren't using the program. JoAnne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland_Mom Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 We use and LOVE FLL. After my oldest completed FLL 2 we stepped away temporarily to try Shurley English Level 3. After trying it for about 10 weeks, I decided to throw in the towel. It is a thorough grammar program, but it just wasn't for us. I also wanted to be sure my son learned how to diagram sentences, not just label them. We continue to use the Shurley English chants. They have helped both of my kids memorize the definitions of the parts of speach AND questions that can be used to identify how the word is used in a sentence. FLL certainly has enough repetition to memorize parts of speech, but the chants provide a nice change of pace. We simply listen to the CD a couple of times a week before our regular grammar lesson. You could easily listen only to the track that applies to your grammar lesson and then begin your regular lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Every level of Shurley has the chants. Some of the chants change level to level, and each level adds on new chants. If you just wanted to get the chant CDs, you would want it to correlate to the grammar level you are using for your main program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
