Mom0012 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Does this just get slightly more difficult each year? Could we do R&S 5 and then skip a year and move on to R&S 7, skip again and do R&S 9? Or is there a big jump in difficulty from one year to the next at some point? Thanks!

Hsmomto4 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 No, you can't do that. Up to book 5 it moves at a nice slow building pace, after that it picks up. Book 5 (to me) seems to be the last of the easy ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisefor3 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 NO, no, no. You would not want to do that in my opinion. I think even 5 is challenging and where it starts to pick up and I made as high in grammar on the ACT as you can make. I actually don't use it much past 8 and I stretch 6, 7, and 8 through high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yes, what everyone else said. Up until level 5 or 6 skipping might be okay, but from there on out things get quite intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 What about 2 and 3? If my son is really getting book 2, could we skip 3 next year and do 4? or should we just move through it quickly. the 25 lessons on Sentences in 2 has been a lot...but he does REALLY get sentence structure now.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I wouldn't skip it at his age. One might want to skip levels, if one is new to the program or starting late. But if I were you, I would probably work through the levels because the later levels are best met when one is a bit mature and ready for hard work!

Mom0012 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Okay, thanks! I had planned on using Saxon Grammar for my son for 6th, 7th and 8th and he saw R&S 5 sitting on the shelf and wanted to give it a try since he liked R&S Math. We've done the first two chapters, which have been very easy. That's what made me start thinking I could possibly use R&S one year and Saxon the next, but it doesn't sound like that will work. It seemed liked a year of mastery learning followed by a year of spiral review might benefit my son, but I guess I'll have to rethink that.

Even 3 required some lesson combining for my son, but it moves a lot quicker than 2. You don't have to do 2 before doing 3. If you want to stick with R&S, I'd suggest skipping 2 rather than 3.

Lisa I think this is a plan that could work. R&S 6,7, and 8 are appropriate for high school. Though you may want to think about how much time you will really have for grammar in high school. I've found high school a time to work more on writing skills than grammar skills. Writing becomes easier if the grammar skills are already mastered. Is there a reason you want to use both? I'm not familiar with Saxon grammar, but if you think it fits your student and covers what is needed stick with that program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa You can certainly start with level 5, as the previous levels are just the same information but at simpler stages, but I wouldn't skip books after level 5. It's possible to work through them orally and only do some of the written work if you need to catch up (as we are doing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahansen Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I found that, even though my son was able to do the work in R&S 4, things like diagramming sentences are introduced in level 3. Because of that (and just so I haven't missed anything) I decided to start with level 3. We can always go through it at our own pace. --Pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with Saxon grammar, but if you think it fits your student and covers what is needed stick with that program. Thanks for trying to help me with this. Honestly, I just can't decide which program is better. My son was very successful with R&S Math, so now I'm starting to think maybe he would get the same benefit from R&S Grammar since both are mastery-based programs. I've also been surprised to find that R&S is easier and gentler than Saxon (at least R&S 5 is), which is a bonus. We totally got slammed with tons of topics we'd never covered when we used Saxon last year since there was something new introduced every day. DS is almost done with the second chapter of R&S and it just seems less chaotic and he's getting everything correct. Anyway, I'm leaning toward doing one year with R&S this year to see if a mastery approach benefits him and then moving through the other levels of Saxon (since I've already bought them!). Maybe we won't need any grammar after that. I'd rather not do grammar in high school, but if we still need to, at least I know R&S is an option at that point. Thanks again!

It's possible to work through them orally and only do some of the written work if you need to catch up (as we are doing). Do things really ramp up after level 5? Part of the reason I've avoided R&S until now was because I thought it would be too hard, but I honestly think R&S 5 is going to be a piece of cake for ds after using Saxon Grammar for a year. My son really struggles with language skills. I'm a little bummed that http://www.rodandstaffbooks.com doesn't have a Table of Contents available on their website for the grammar books and their samples are much more limited than what they have for their math books. I'd really like to see what is in them from 6th - 10th grade. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Shot Academy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 We do a simple workbook (Spectrum) for 2nd, then start with R&S 4, taking 1.5 - 2 years to do it. Then we go right into 6th. We do all the writing assignments in 5 though. We haven't had a problem yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Agreeing with others. My 12yo is working in R&S English 6 this year (she just finished chapter 4) and it has definitely ramped up in the grammar. She's done R&S all along so it isn't too difficult for her but there are days when she comments, "My head is going to explode." LOL. And she LOVES grammar.
