mommy4ever Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 We were doing a workbook today(from Costco) and dd11 asked for help. I thought I helped, yet when looking at the answer key, I became confused, and dd11, as a result, very frustrated. It was about objects, subject, direct and indirect. So apparently, my own grammar requires help..lol. So... I am doing first language lessons with the younger daughter, who is 6. and had gotten the 3rd for dd11..but it's pretty simple. Not sure where to go from there. I think it is a great review for both of us to go through the lessons, even if we are going quickly and skimming. I want to have her build a grammar dictionary - a reference for herself, or perhaps a mini-office type set up so she has a reference(and me too). But beyond the 4 levels, what do you recommend? Or is there something better for remedial grammar? and move from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Shurley or JAG/AG would work well for you. Both are clear, explain things well, and start at the beginning. I've used Shurley through 6, have 7 to use next year, and will probably go into AG (2nd season) after that. But AG would be perfectly fine for you too.

EmeraldGirl Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Easy Grammar.:) :iagree: Very simple and can get you caught up pretty quickly. No diagramming which I absolutely can't stand (no flames please :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommy4ever Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thank you! I will take a peak at those recommended, and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I think you should take a look at Growing With Grammar as well. It's a workbook program and very easy to understand. And it has diagramming, if you're interested in that. That is my dd12's favorite part. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Your mileage may vary, but my 12yo flew through Growing With Grammar last year. He did very well with the assignments, but at the end of the year didn't seem to have actually 'learned' the material. He's doing Analytical Grammar this year, and it's all clicking for him. I haven't done Junior Analytical Grammar, but that's what I'd recommend as, from what I understand, it's a gentler introduction than AG, especially considering your child's age.
