kalanamak Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Victory Drill Book - excellent value (can be used from K-8th grade) teaches reading fluency - I credit it with taking my kids from reading the sounds of the words (c...a...t) to being able to look at a word and say "cat". Looks interesting. Is it religious? (I know old books had some casual references, but is it throughout?) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 MFW Kindergarten. Getting ready to start it for my 4th kindergarten. PEople say its not "rigorous" enough, but I lean towards a gentle fun kindergarten with memories of children being "wooed" to learning at home....MFWK did this EVERY time. WE LOVE IT!!! Its precious! Is this your main grammar program? Do you add anything to it? Does it cover, say, as much as a traditional (Abeka, CLE, etc.) 5th grade grammar book? It looks really cool and I think my ds would like it. However, if it's not complete then I'm not so sure it would ever get done, in addition to something else (like Abeka or R.S. grammar.)

It's inexpensive (IG is $14!!!), flexible, GREAT literature, and IMO easily adapted to classical education. Because it's so inexpensive, I don't have an issue with tweeking it. When we were Sonlighters, I grew frustrated because you spend all this money on the books and then if you tweek it and don't use them, you've wasted your money.

kls126s Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Rex Barks, Diagramming Sentences Made Easy by Phyllis Davenport Faithr - I looked at this on Amazon but there isn't a description or preview. Is this primarily a how-to book, or is it a drill book? I'm looking for a resource for daily diagramming drill and wondered if you felt like this would help.

kathkath Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hewitt offers an Write Source elementary syllabus. I picked up a teacher's manual 2 years ago for $2 plus postage on Amazon. The WRITE ONE handbook was a supplemental resource our district used in all 1st grade classrooms. Every student had a copy. It could be used as a stand-alone so long as you use it as a springboard for more writing lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi Keri, Rex Barks is both a how-to and a drill book. The one book deals with all the grammar you'll need to know. The first lesson teaches the 8 parts of speech then each chapter, broken into different lessons, covers more and more complex diagramming. There are plenty of exercises to reinforce each lesson and often the sentences are rather amusing. I teach from this book by sitting around the table reading the little lesson out loud and then dictating a sentence to a child who writes it on our whiteboard easel. Then we take turns trying to diagram it correctly. I don't teach grammar every year but doing it this way seems to stick even if we aren't consistent with it (we also study Latin so that helps too!). Here's the table of contents: Ch 1 Parts of Speech Ch 2 Diagramming begins 2-A Helping Verbs 2-B Questions 2-C Modifiers: Adjectives and Adverbs 2-D Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases 2-E Coordinating Conjunctions 2-F Compound Elements 2-G Understood 'You' 2-H Direct Address 2-J Introductory words Ch 3 - Kinds of Verbs 3-A Intransitive Complete Verbs 3-B Transitive Active Verbs 3-C Transitive Passive Verbs 3-D Intransitive Linking Verbs Ch. Four - Dependent Clauses 4-A Adverb Clauses 4-B Adjective Clauses 4-C Noun Clauses Ch Five - Verbals 5-A Gerunds 5-B Participles 5-C Infinitives Ch Six - Additional Constructions 6-A Appositives 6-B Objective Complement 6-C Adverbial Noun Ch Seven - Compound and Complex Sentences Ch Eight - Miscellany 8-A About Adjective Clauses 8-B About Adverb Clauses 8-C About Pronouns 8-D About Prepositional Phrases 8-E About Nouns Challenge (this is diagramming the beginning sentence of the Decl of Independence) Appendix -a summary of grammar rules Mystery Challenge (I've never figured this one out!) Answers -everything's abbreviated so sometimes it takes a second or two to decipher the answer! Index HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabel Lee Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I second Horizons math for K & 1st, with alot of manipulatives for place value, supplemental time & money practice (a clock model & play money are all you need), and a little base-ten teaching thrown in. I don't know that Abeka LA is really underappreciated, but I don't see it as often as other things. I'm always drawn back to Abeka language arts, at least for K-3 (possibly further, but I've not tried 4th+ yet). I've used other things as well, some of which I like better for parts of LA, but it's a tried & true program that's been around & teaches reading & spelling solidly. I'll admit I'm not keen on their readers vs. real books. There's just something about how they teach the rules and then have the child practice changing the words using them (ex. crazy - crazier - craziest; bring - bringing - brought, etc.). ETA: I'm not keen on their writing composition instruction at all - much prefer WWE followed by CW. Grammar Ace (both student workbook & TM) was quick & effective for my older son when he was in 1st grade. We went on noun scavenger hunts, made proper vs. common noun posters, etc. I used the Schoolhouse Rock DVD that is recommended in it for fun reinforcement. E(again)TA: LEAP FROG PHONICS & READING DVDS! Letter Factory, Talking Word Factory, etc. These are great for preschool years & got my son reading when he was 3.

Either as we did as a semester-long course in between years of a traditional program (AG might be a really good option for doing this) or on alternate days. It includes lots of sentence-writing exercises but only a handful of longer assignments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarlaS Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Darla, I would recommend the 2005-2007 editions. They are all titled Write Source and then have a grade level after the title. I do have some of the older versions, but feel that the new edition is much better put together. The older versions I have seem to be more of a handbook and the new ones are much more lessons. Hope that makes sense. I have used the student book and the teacher's edition in the past. The teacher's edition is the student book with teaching ideas around those pages. It also has a section with helps for planning and meeting state standards. It also helps you to tie all of the other pieces into your writing lessons. I don't use the Language Workout or skillbook because I am happy with R&S and Shurley English for grammar skills. I am not using the Teacher's Edition for my younger girls this year and am doing fine without it. I do have it for my son because I was able to get it for free from the school library. I am glad I got the TE the first year I used it. It has suggestions for teaching below grade level and for challenging excelling students. In that way, I was able to use it for three students all on different levels. And I don't really think that the grade levels are that important. If you are able to get an used book that is a grade level above or below your student;s level it will be fine. Also, in that way the books can be used for more than one year. I have not been able to fit a whole book in a school year so we use the books for about 1 1/2 years or so each. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks so much for this reply! It sounds like if I don't mind doing a little planning, and am using something else for grammar, I can do without the teacher's editions. I am looking at getting this for gr. 2, 5, and 8 (or maybe 9). I will probably get the teacher's edition for at least the highest level.
