For those who use JAG and then AG.....

[HappyGrace]

is it too much repetition to do both? I am having trouble reconciling myself to paying for JAG (which I understand is basically the first part of AG but slowed down) if I plan to do AG!

 

This would be for next yr for 5th grade dd. I have a full set used R+S 5 here which looks good but JAG looks more short and to the point but still effective. I would be using AG starting in 6th grade.

Nope, not here. In AG the sentences are on a much higher level, and verbals are covered/included. It wasn't difficult for my dd to do AG season 1 after JAG, but it was good for her to see the higher level of work. I think it cemented what she learned in JAG.

 

But I like to keep things on the easy side. All of us here prefer to feel on top of things rather than behind the 8 ball. JAG was a nice gentle into. I think jumping into AG would have been doable, but a lot more frustrating.

:iagree: I am going to start both my 11 & 12 yr. olds using JAG first then move onto AG. ( can't believe I'm going to have an 11 & 12 year old dc:eek:)

 

I don't want my dc to become frustrated. Hopefully we'll move through JAG quickly through the summer and it will help them to ease into AG. By quickly I don't mean rushing through it but in the time frame of summer.

 

My son who will be 12 when we use JAG really needs lots of repetition so I think JAG will work for him in that regards. He also struggles in other areas, so like Heather, I want him to feel like he is on top of things and not behind.

Thanks so much. Dd10 picks things up really quickly so that's what I'm worried about. (BTW, she is LOVING MCT Town level-said I love this because it's the first thing that feels challenging to me! She is eating it up!)
