mommyto3boys2girls Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 For next year a 6th and 5th grader BJU English (grammer and writing) and I would add AAS or CLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMe Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I've done both, but voted for BJU. I don't think either is better than the other, it's just the way we learn that works for us. CLE is more of a spiral. I wouldn't say incremental, but close to it. BJU does concepts by chapter, trading off writing for grammar and I like those breaks in between. It's a nice middle ground between spiral vs mastery. Plus if we do want to liven things up a bit, BJU has a lot of ideas in their TM.

................... Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I chose BJU, abd that's what I just bought for next year too. My reasoning is that: A. I just think spelling skills vary so hugely among children, so I would never want to tie spelling to a schedule. I have one horrible speller and one amazing speller, and list-based progrAms make one cry, and bore the other to tears. Obviously, you could just use CLE and skip the spelling- which is something I had also considered. But: B. BJU can take us all the way through. I'm Concerned about the non-Sunrise editions of CLE. HTH :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
