Katiebug_1976 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Ok, so I had planned on beginning Advanced Language Lessons with ds11 this month, but since it is not going to be released, obviously I need a new plan. We have used R&S (3 & 4) but it just isn't a door I want to open again. I'm looking for something open & go/easy to use and fairly inexpensive. So...anyone have any suggestions for me?

atozmom Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 What about Junior Analytical Grammar (JAG)? It isn't inexpensive, but not as costly as some others, $40 I think. However, part of that is the teacher's guide which you could use again with other children and just have to buy the student book again later. While we haven't used JAG yet, (plan to with my DS) DD is using AG, their program for older students. She said this is finally the grammar program that makes sense and sticks. It doesn't take a lot of time, is open and go and has built in review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison in KY Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I like Winston Grammar for this age. Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5LittleMonkeys Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Have you looked at Hake? There was a thread awhile back about what people were going to use instead of ALL and many said they were choosing Hake. I myself have been using R&S for the last 3 years and have decided mid year that we are ready for something secular but just as thorough. I've used EG, and CLE as well. One was too easy and one was way too religious. I've checked out many other programs and settled on Hake because it seemed to be similar to R&S in thoroughness, could be done independently, and was spiral (which I think might work better for us than the mastery approach of R&S).

EKS Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We're using Hake. It's open and go. I don't know if you'd consider it inexpensive. I think Rainbow Resource offers a good discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloggermom Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 With an 11 year old I might consider Analytical Grammar instead of the Junior version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katiebug_1976 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thank you for all the suggestions. I hadn't thought of Hake. I remember hearing about it when it first came out (I think?). Off to go check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halcyon Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Have you looked at KISS? We've used GWG in the past, but have recently switched to KISS. It's free, and very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'll be using Hake5 with dd who's finishing FLL4. I tried GWG for my ds, who was struggling with FLL3, and it was a bust. There are also lots of free vintage books at Google. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
