RainbowSprinkles Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 So I finally decided on Rod and Staff for Grammar and Spelling. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share schedules. How often do you do grammar in the week? Do you do 2 Spelling Tests like the book recommends? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakerks Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 When my kids were around 8 or 9, we did grammar 3 (somex 4) times per week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofpumpkins Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I have a 2nd grader and a 3rd grader using R&S for English and Spelling. They do an English lesson each day. Much of it is done orally, so it doesn't take long. For Spelling, on Monday they do Part A of the workbook. On Tuesday they do Part B (and C, in my 3rd grader's case). On Wednesday they take the test. That's it. I don't do any extra teaching or a 2nd test because I haven't felt the need. So far they've both been getting 100% correct on their tests.

Lightly Salted Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm using schedules from this page http://corefoundations.wordpress.com/scheds-english-and-history/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Well, R&S's English is more than just grammar. It's writing and using reference materials and oral communication and more. When I used it, we did English every day. We did Spelling by Sound and Structure 4 days a week, with a spelling test on Fridays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearnpurple Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Both kids get a practice drill on Monday plus part A Tue - they do part B (3rd grader writes her words as part of handwriting) Wed - they do part C Thurs - 3rd grader takes test (if she gets a 100 she doesn't retake on Fri) 8th grader does part D Fri - 8th grader takes test (whatever he misses gets added to the next week's list) 3rd grader if retakes and still misses words are added to next week's list Hope this gives you a few ideas!

bearnpurple Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 We do English everyday.....it is just too cool to be able to do alot of it orally and then only assign a few things to keep the day in check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5LittleMonkeys Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 My dd7 does R&S English 4 days a week and my dd11 and dd12 do it 5 days a week. One lesson a day except for a few of the writing lessons and the review lessons we take 2 days on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrow Gate Academy Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 We do R&S English 5 days a week here. I have lesson plans on the right hand side of my blog if you are interested. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
