Halcyon Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hi We have GWG 4 and my son has been using it without complaint, but it seems a little formulaic (as in, once you know the formula, it's easy to get the answer). I was looking at JAG and it might suit my son better. Has anyone who has used both compare them for me? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moki4 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 But I REALLY like the layout. It is so different from GWG. GWG, as you know, begins with subject/verb. Whereas AG begins with nouns, pronouns, articles, adjectives then quickly on to prepositional phrases. I am sure that I will be teaching this to 2 of my kiddos (the oldest will self learn). GWG is really open and go...with the sentences basically written grammatically the same. With AG, they use a variety of sentence structure. I would test myself with GWG, and always got 100%! But, to be honest, it wouldn't be the case with AG. I have spent the last week really delving into AG, and I can't wait to officially start (Next Wednesday). It seems much more "meaty". Good luck!

robsiew Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 In my experience JAG was much more challenging than GWG. I ran into the same thing with GWG. JAG was a bit much for my then 3rd grader though so I ended up getting R&S and we're enjoying that. I want to continue grammar for a longer time/slower pace than JAG/AG would afford me.
