Pam L in Mid Tenn Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 No , "other" ? :001_huh: I had two of mine do Daily Grams 2/3. The OLD pink book. Two did R&S. I like them both. It depends on the child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwickimom Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Tried FLL, but didnt fit my visual learner. We Love R&S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I didn't vote, because my OCD brain doesn't compare R&S and GWG to EG, as they also teach writing and other things that EG doesn't.:D If I wanted just grammar, I'd go with EG. If I wanted a more comprehensive English, I'd go with R&S. Using R&S for *only* grammar, skipping the writing and other topics, just doesn't work for me. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just guessing that R&S is what you used when you had littles, b/c GWG is relatively new. Would you take some time and possibly give your thoughts on GWG? possibly comparing to R&S..... thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I voted R&S. I have never looked at anything else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIch elle Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 None (for grade 3)! Start grammar in grade 4 with R&S or CLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillary in KS Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I do FLL with my 1st/2nd graders. I wouldn't consider it enough for a 3rd grader. I've used Rod and Staff for all my kids (grades 3 and up), and love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siloam Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Which grammar did/do you like best? FLL Growing With Grammar Rod and Staff Easy Grammar Thanks! I put FLL, but it really is for the auditory learner. My ds is visual with auditory processing problems and prefers to work on his own. Generally he does better work on his own, because he relaxes and doesn't feel put on the spot. Thus he will do GWG. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessedmom3 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks for sharing this. My ds has auditory processing issues as well. I just had an "a-ha" moment when you shared this. Thanks again. My ds , 6, has (or used to have) AP as well. I was very skeptical to use FLL because of the reason mentioned by the pp. But I tried anyway. Amazing results! A few months later , he was tested and they said his AP skills are normal. I believe FLL has played a role into that. I read it very slowly to him . He also listens a lot to audio books , even if he does not get a lot out of them. It still helps . Since FLL is cheap, especially the previous ed. , I'd suggest you try it. When my son gets older , I am considering R&S and if this does not work, he will do ACE English and Literature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I didn't know that. I bought it when it first came out, and was already using R&S with my oldest child, so I never looked for anything else. I didn't realize that they'd come out with a version of FLL for older children. Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior! Academy Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I voted Rod and Staff. I love FLL, but the 3rd grade version was not available when I started hs so I purchased R&S. Since it's hardback, thorough, and I already have it, that's what I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. We actually used FLL 1/2. I'm wondering about FLL 3. We are reading through R & S 2 as a refresher until I decide what to do for level 3. With that, I like all of the choices that I have listed:tongue_smilie:That's my problem, I can't choose. I was thinking of purchasing R&S 3 and use it orally while doing GWG3. Too much? Now I'm wondering about FLL3:glare: I want them all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verity Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm using FLL 3 with my 3rd grader this year and so far so good. He struggles with dyslexia so I'm finding that the auditory style of learning (FLL, Geography Songs from Sonlight, etc) seem to work quite well for him. YMMV!

That is a lot of grammar. :D With my ds the consideration is also his desire to be independent and the fact that he usually actually gets more answers right when he is independent. My 3rd dd also has mild auditory issues and did fine with FLL 1/2. Though I love JAG, so I didn't continue with 3 or 4. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
