Do you know if TWTM book will have an update when SWB finishes Advanced Language Lessons and Writing With Skill? Isn't there a rhetoric level for grammar and writing as well or am I not remembering correctly? How about adding the new history series into the rhetoric stage?

 

Thanks!

So far I believe TWTM has come out with a new edition every 5 years- 1999, 2004, and 2009.

 

While I haven't heard any plans one way or the other, I would think that they might continue with every 5 years.

 

SWB blog is usually the best place to find her thoughts about new books and dates or projected dates ;)

There has been a plan for upper level writing all along, but there wasn't even a plan to do ALL until she got so many requests. I don't know if she has decided to do more grammar or not????

I have been following this thread because I too have been wondering about whether I should update my 2004 WTM edition or just wait a little longer.

 

One thing I am interested in however is finding out more about ALL. The only place I have seen mention of it is in one thread here on the WTM forums. I searched the PHP website but did not see anything on it. Of course I could have missed it :tongue_smilie:. We will be starting PR next year but I like FLL so far and so does my son so I wouldn't mind continuing with it. Anyway, rambling now. Could someone point me to a link on ALL?

I am reaching waaay back in my memory so FWIW, I seem to remember a post by SWB on her blog where she said that a rhetoric program would have to wait at least until her 'history of the world' series is done. I think she still has two to go and they take several years each. It didn't sound like it there was actually anything planned, just a twinkle in her eye, so to speak. I am not expecting one in time to teach my kids and my youngest is 6.

 

AAL is done. Well, from what I gather, only 5th grade is done. It will hopefully be out in the fall of 2011? When other things from PHP were due in the autumn it was more like October.

Can you link it here?

 

Hey Sherry :)! I knew I should have just linked it :lol:. It was just a thread where SWB was looking for a name for the program but she does have a very brief description. Not much info really, I guess since it isn't out yet. The thread does say that it should be ready for October. I may just go ahead and buy the PDF when it comes out. Thinking about it... even though we have a while to go before we get there. Anyway, here's the link directly to the page with the post so you don't have to go through the entire thread. SWB's post is up at the top.

You're welcome my dear :). I just wish I could have been more helpful. I missed that discussion also. Funny thing is I found it googling :lol:. I only visit the K-8 board (and I just barely have time to keep up with that), so I am sure I miss a lot of what is going on in the other forums.
