jeri Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 My dd is going into 8th this fall. She did R&S 5 and 6 several years ago, then we switched to CW and she did a lot of grammar through Homer and Maxim. This year I want to finalize grammar with her by doing a "review" using R&S. So, which one set do I pick? I looked at previews and it seems that they teach a lot of writing techniques as well. I'm not so interested in that as much as the grammar. Any ideas? Thanks.

LynnG in Arizona Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'd recommend R&S 8 in your circumstances. R&S 9 and 10 change in tone and become very, very nitpicky. They are the grammar equivalent of "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" . . . lots of esoteric knowledge with very little practical application. I sincerely believe that R&S 8 is all the grammar *anybody* ever needs, and much more than the vast majority of students receive. There's my two cents. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscopterdoc Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I agree with LynnG. DD did R&S 8 in 8th grade and in 9th [she just finished] we didn't even do grammar. She did lots of writing and we reviewed grammar in the rough drafts if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeri Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Glad I bought level 8 a couple of weeks ago! Now to not second guess my decision and move on! Jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
