hsmommyx3 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I was planning on using R&S next year for English but I have found Voyages in English & it looks really good. Has anyone here had any experience with it? It is more expensive than R&S and so I am hesistant to buy it because we are on a budget. However, I am really leaning toward fronting the extra money to get it. I would love to hear if anyone here has used it and what your opinions are of it! Thanks!

Sue G in PA Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 with K12, but it was a very good program. SWB recommends it in WTM and others here have as well. I have the 3rd gr. workbook and have considered using it to "supplement" while we wait for FLL3 to come. Hope a veteran user responds! Good luck.

In The Great White North Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have used the old 1940-1950) versions with my dc. I did get a reprint of a workbook for ds but it turns out he hate workbooks so we didn't continue that. I have a tendency to use textbooks as a spine, rather than just assigning a lesson each day. I look at the text, decide what I want to cover and teach it to dd Waldorf style. Sometimes we would go over the exercises orally. I never had her just sit down and do a lesson, busy-work style. So, even though I used Voyages in English, I'm probably answering what you really want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Voyages in English was originally a Catholic curruculum, but I understand the newer versions have been revised and the Catholic components were taken out. I don't know if that matters one way or the other to you. Also, VE doesn't include writing. R&S has many writing assignments included throughout the program. If you use VE, you'll need to do an additional writing program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
