April in WA Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I stumbled upon a cheap copy of Warriner's Second Course this year. I know quite a few people use the Third Course but I'm not sure about the Second Course. Is there any particular reason I don't see talk of the 2nd course? I'm only thinking about using the composition section for my 7th grader. Any suggested schedules for the composition section? Should I try to do this all in one year?

Karenciavo Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think it might be as simple as obtaining an answer key. I have Warriner's Complete (12th grade), but I'm tempted to purchase the 3rd or 4th course for the convenience of an answer key. Seton has both the 3rd and 4th keys.

FloridaLisa Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If you are just going to use the writing portion, you probably don't need an answer key. If you like Warriner's Comp, I'd also suggest Warriner's Exercises in Composition. We're just about to dive into them here as well!

Blessings, April in WA I have the whole set of Warriners c1988. They increase in difficulty very gently and the higher level books cover the information more briefly. Some of the composition in the beginning books is not in the Complete Course--and vise versa, but they do cover a lot of the same material (set up the same way and basically progresses through the same material). If your child does the comp section of the 2nd course, he will get a lot of information and practice in writing. I usually use a text book close to the child's grade level, but it does depend upon how much grammar and writing he has already had. I think they are good books.
