BatmansWife Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 OK, so I've heard of these grammar books before....I've gone to the website before. I had looked at samples and remember not really liking the font. It was hard for me to read (anyone else feel this way?). Now there are more posts about MCT so I went back to the website. It just totally confuses me. Where are all these grammar books? Can someone give me a direct link? At what age/grade level are these for (I read someone saying they were using this with a 1st grader). I'm just lost when it comes to his books.....it's like I just don't get it or something. :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuovonne Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 All of the MCT langauge arts books are listed here. Levels are *not* grade levels. http://rfwp.com/mct.php Here are the MCT homeschool packages. There is a "basic" and "complete" package for each level. http://rfwp.com/series91.htm Although some people have used MCT with *advanced* kids who are first graders based on their ages, it is not a first grade program. There is placement information on page 21 of the homeschool MCT catalog. http://rfwp.com/samples/home-schooler-online-catalog.pdf "What level to start? For children who would be in grades 2, 3, or 4, it is most often appropriate to start with the Island level. Generally, children in the fifth grade begin with the Town or Voyage level. And children in sixth grade begin most readily with the Voyage level. For children whose entry-point is later, the recommended starting point is Word Within a Word Volume 1, Magic Lens 1, Poetry and Humanity, 4Practice1, and Essay Voyage. Where appropriate, the use of Essay Voyage can be abbreviated and the child moved on to Advanced Academic Writing Volume 1." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiobrain Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Kuvonne answered while I was typing, so I will address this part... The font you probably didn't like was in Grammar Island. I am pretty sure that that is the only book that has that font. MCT does use many different fonts, as he tries to visually separate some ideas from each other.

BatmansWife Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Thank you both. I will look at those links. I was thinking that I had better check it out, if people were using this for first grade, before I order all of our first grade stuff. But, I'm glad to know that it's not for a first grader yet anyway. Now I can relax. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
