alexia Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) I've been lurking here for a while gathering a lot of great info on Homeschooling/education. Since English is my 2nd language.(korean is 1st lang.) I always feel inadequate to teach english(esp. grammar/writing for my 6th ds.) This is my 1st year HS. My youngest dd K is still in PS. I plan to bring her home when I feel somewhat confident about HSing my 2 older kids. I mostly need advice for 6th grade son. He can write pages (3-5) when writing a story. But he doesn't know how to write a 5 par. essays or other type of expository papers. We need a curriculum to teach him to write an essay paper, research paper,etc. Since I don't feel quite qualified to teach writing, independent type workbook would be great. I do have WWE 1~4 and story starters. He likes story starters but, he needs the instruction on structure, mechanics and not creativity. Should I place him somewhere in WWE 3? He hasn't had any narrration exercise at all. My 3rd grade son will be doing WWE 2,GWG 3, & SOTW+AG+other books, MPH science or Elementary Science(haven't decided yet)+books. 6th grader grammar& writing(hasn't decided yet),K12 Human Odyssey+what in the world,sotw audio, Apologia General science. Both of them will do Robinson curriculum book list+ sonlight,ambleside book list and Saxon math in their level. I happened to notice a lot of you recommend CLE for LA should I try that for my kids? Does that have "writing essay" curr. built in? I would love to hear any advice. Thank you so much!

sagira Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Bump All I know is that MPH Science 3/4 is what we're using for third grade next year. It looks solid and interesting, and something easy for me to implement, as I will have a baby to take of as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WistfulRidge Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) For writing you might want to look at Meaningful Composition or Writing Strands. I haven't ever held a copy of CLE in my hands, but it is my understanding that they do not include writing instruction. However, I've heard that it is a very solid grammar program. Another one you might want to take a look at for grammar is Rod & Staff. Edited December 21, 2010 by theAmbitiousHousewife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
