LearnFromHome Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Do you use the course package or just the study guides and add your grammar, spelling etc. Thank you! Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I like the chronological package. It includes the daily assignments, writing assignments, review questions, grammar review. Just buy the books to go along with it and you are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisN in NY Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 and I have the entire set for each level (literature, writing, vocabulary). Last year, I had dd complete one of the Sentence Composing books, but other than that, I've not added anything else. It's a real plus for me that everything is included.

Liza Q Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I did not have my 17yo do the vocabulary as she was doing Vocabulary for the College Bound student, as well as lots of PSAT/SAT prep. She also used an AG review book. I found that she did not need the writing/grammar lessons in Smarr at all. I had my 15yo do Sentence Composing this year in addition to Smarr. I also supplemented with The Lively Art of Writing, but she is still struggling with writing. I think that Smarr is a good course - you can have your children use it for a while and then decide whether they need more or less of anything. I used my daughters' essays as a way to judge whether they needed more or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
