bamdavis3 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 This year I am strongly considering taking a different route. My son will be in 5th grade, but is advanced. If I was to buy a traditional book it would probably be a 7th grade one. He did Voyages in English 6 last year. He completed FLL 1-4 already as well. How much traditional grammar does he need. I feel he knows all of that. I was considering nixing the traditional Language Arts book this year, and going rogue. I was thinking of doing 70% Literary analysis & writing (research reports, essays, biographies, etc..), 15% Grammar Review, and 15 % spelling/vocabulary. How does this sound?

Guest SkaterMom Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Sounds good to me. We don't do spelling because my dd can spell just about anything she has read. In you situation I would just review grammar to ensure your dc doesn't lose it and have fun. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamdavis3 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks! My son can spell pretty much anything too.. I just want to continue to increase his vocabulary (at a faster pace) that's the only reason I'm going to do it. I feel better. I wasn't sure if this is was alright to do. Whew....
