ereks mom Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 ...who'd had very little grammar instruction in the past, AND you intend to go through the book slowly--over 2 years' time--which level would you select? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver0f10 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I'd start with the 6th grade book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I'd get 6 to use, but also purchase a handbook of grammar for the teacher (in order to take things a little deeper if needed.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 6th--with the workbooks and TM from Level 5 in case any of the kiddos need review or extra help. Also, I would make sure to get the TM for level 6. I feel the oral reviews in the TM are an important part of the program. Also, if you are stretching it out. you could teach the lesson in the TM one day and then go over the lesson in the student text the next day.

Sandy in Indy Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 6...and get the worksheets as you'll probably need extra practice on some concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach Mom Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I agree with 6. 7 would be really hard to do as a starting point - it covers gerunds, substantives and other concepts that you really need to have some grammar background to understand.

angela&4boys Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Agreeing with the others... 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Honestly, I wouldn't chose R&S. (Those who know me might be passing out at this point.) The 6th grade book is the one you would need. Using a 6th grade book in a group of 6-8th graders has too much possibility for complaints. The parents of the 7th and 8th graders are likely to object to you teaching to the lowest level. The older kids are going to balk at the number on the book. I don't think it would be worth the trouble of placating everyone over the level of the book. I think I would look at Analytical Grammar for this type of situation. It is not grade leveled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
