Guest momk2000 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 If you had to choose between the two, which one would you use and why? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.without.an.e Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 We tried Abeka in 1st grade and disliked it. I switched to BJU and have been happy with it. DD has used BJU from 2nd grade through 6th. It is thorough and complete and it works. I wish I could remember exactly what I disliked so much Abeka, but it has been too long and too many kids ago. My younger kidlets have used BJU for English all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheBugsMom Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 What grade is this for? Are you interested in teacher intensive or on your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMary2 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Having used both in the past I prefer BJU because it is less busy than Abeka. I like BJU English for 2nd -6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmama Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I don't have experience with Abeka English, but I just started BJU English 2 after dropping FLL. I like how easily everything is laid out for teacher and student. The TM is geared to a classroom, but it is easily adaptable at home. You don't need anything fancy -- maybe a white board or index cards or even plain paper for the "write on the chalkboard" part. The student edition is set up by chapters, every other one focused on grammar, then writing, then back to grammar, etc. Each individual lesson has a "guided practice" page that we do together, then an "independent practice" page that DD does on her own. There's also a CD of worksheets if you want them for extra practice. I found the set on sale at Christianbook.com plus free shipping. Good luck with your decision!

Guest momk2000 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Has anyone ever used Christian Liberty Press English for upper grades? I'm just wondering why CLP stops using BJU and continues with their own. Is CLP better for the upper grades than BJU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
