Chris in CA Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I am wondering if there will be any "holes" because we are not using a formal English program. I was thinking about using BJU for one year to fill in any gaps, like sentence types etc., but is there an easier way? This is for the 6-8 grade level thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 To me, a full English program would include spelling, vocabulary, grammar, literature, and writing. So, with AG and Jump In, you have grammar and writing covered. I think that is fine for any particular year. I don't do all things every year, but rotate around and make sure everything is covered over time. (I'm guessing that AG is a grammar only program. Please forgive me if I'm mistaken!)

Chris in CA Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Sorry, I guess I assumed that it would be understood that I only mean to address grammar and writing when I say English. Lit, vocab, and spelling have been taken care of by other means thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Indeed Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I hope so because that is what I plan on doing! :D After that we will build on what we have learned and use it, but at this point I do not see us doing another program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in CA Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks for the affirmation : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanaTron Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 My ds will begin AG this summer, and I am pretty sure on using Jump In for him for writing when he starts 7th grade this fall. I don't think you will be missing anything by not using an all-in-one English program. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
