Surfside Academy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 My oldest son was getting tired of "workbook grammar" and wanted to try something different. With some trepidation, I decided to purchase the MCT Island package. It took some getting used to including me yelling to pay attention, stop playing with the dog, stop touching your brother, etc. Well we've just completed Grammar Island so we were working on some 4-level analysis on the white board. I was shocked but they actually were having fun and even asked to do more sentences (which never happens!) :eek: My oldest hated diagramming, so go figure. They still have issues at times identifying pronouns and adjectives but it does seem to be sinking in. "Who are these kids and what did you do with my children?" :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 :hurray: My oldest ds did Grammar Island at the beginning of the year and has been doing Practice Island all year and he loves it too! I just hope the next two kiddos are equally happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Good for you! My daughter seems to really enjoy MCT LA, too. I didn't think we would like Building Language, but that one seems to be her favorite. Go figure! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shooting for next week and hopefully they will enjoy it as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyCamper Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 :lol::lol::lol: You might be surprised by Music of the Hemispheres - DD9 loves it and it is such a clear introduction to poetry. For us, it is a very big change from just reading the poetry without looking for the tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
