joyfulhomeschooler Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Last year we did Emma Serls primary language lessons in grade 2. We liked it, but, I want more formal grammar instruction included. Is there a program out there that is like PLL but includes the grammar terms/instruction? Would FLL be like it? I have R&S 3 and have been thinking about giving that a go... but it isn't quite what I had wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyandab Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I haven't tried this myself, but you might want to look into Queen's language arts. It looks similar to PLL but with more grammar terms/application. We've been using Michael Clay Thompson's language arts program and really enjoy it, but it's quite different from PLL. Can't say I know what to compare it to! It's very different from anything else out there, but we love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It's been a while since I looked over English for the Thoughtful Child but I seem to remember it being similar to PLL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlygirlzx2 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I have a friend who uses Queen's Language Arts for all 3 of her kids and raves about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nansk Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have EFTTC. It is very similar to PLL and I think it may be done before or instead of PLL, but not after finishing PLL. Have you looked at William Maxwell's language lessons books? They are in a similar style as PLL and there is a whole series of them meant for elementary, middle and high school. They are available free from Google books or archive.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyBee Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 We've been using this book - I hope the link works! You can download it free in pdf format. http://books.google.com/books?id=vjEXAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=language+lessons&hl=en&ei=VW5nTs_yG-b50gGnnMT1Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CEYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false Some of the lessons are based on Bible stories. If you're not Jewish or Christian, you could include them as cultural stories, skip those lessons, or substitute different stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preoccupied Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Have you looked at Serl's Intermediate Language lessons? Also, someone here mentioned Writing tales to me and it seems to be great. There is a lot that you can print off from their website. There are several days worth of lessons from each book, the teacher's manual portion for those lessons and an appendix that you can download and print. I'm going to be trying this with my kids to see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyfulhomeschooler Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 I don't think I was very clear in my first post. My child is going to be starting third and completed the first half ONLY of PLL last year. Lessons 1-81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
