funnygirl Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I am looking for an online curriculum for my 7th grader's grammar and writing. She is NOT enjoying having mom as a teacher for these subjects (understatement!), and I think she would benefit from an online method instead. I've looked at time4writing and I think it could work. Is there something similar for grammar? HELP!! :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggermom Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I would go with Analytical Grammar because they have the DVDs that teach the lessons. Hake grammar is also independent, but no DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliums Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 http://englishgrammar101.com/ Free online grammar program. My son worked through most of it last year (7th grade) but he still needed help in constructing better sentences. Easy grammar did help him learn most of the grammar basics and terminology, but it did not help him much with the application. This year he is working through Killgallon Middle School Grammar and Analytical Grammar, but we go over the exercises together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Growing with Grammar and Winning with Writing are student directed. My older 2 cannot stand for me to teach them anymore either. These saved us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenninMN Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have a younger child who is using Grammar Fitness from Merit Software. They have some writing titles as well. Here are some other possibilities I have bookmarked for older students. http://www.gepetosoftware.com/grammarquest.htm http://www.mathmedia.com/grammarbasics.html http://store.egumpp.com/Products/ModuleI/Default.aspx http://smartenglishworkbook.com/ http://www.grammarkeyonline.com/grammarkey.htm If you decide to try any of these, please review them for us! FTR, Time4Writing has been successful here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnygirl Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks everyone! I decided to do a one-month subscription to Grammarlogues based on some other threads I had read recently. We'll see how it goes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh626 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 We'll see how it goes... :bigear: How has grammarlogues been? There aren't many reviews (that I can find, anyway), so I'm interested in what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I am now pairing Grammarlogues with just the text from GWG. This combination is working well. The explanations in the GWG text are more clear and easy to grasp, then the slides in GL bump it up a notch in complexity. The exercises in GL are definitely better and more challenging than the GWG workbooks were. With all of that, grammar-only instruction still only occupies only 5-15 minutes per day.
