If you switched from Rod and Staff English to AG...

When did you do it? Did you go through R & S 8 and then use AG as a review? Or what would you recommend?

 

Thanks,

AG is a stand alone program, not a review program. You can switch whenever you like :)

There are several worksheets for each level. If my dd masters a couple of them, she can skip one before doing the test. So if AG is covering work your child has already covered in R&S you could move faster through AG.

The point of AG is that you don't have to spend all year doing intensive grammar. R&S is kind of the opposite to that :)

R&S is thorough and complete , except it also includes writing. AG is a thorough and complete grammar program. I cant myself see the point of using AG after R&S as review. Just do one or the other whenever you want.

Thanks Peela.

 

I was just thinking that if we finished using Rod and Staff in 8th grade, we'd need some grammar in high school. And, I like the idea of not having to do grammar all year...
