urban_mom Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hi everyone. I'm looking to back up our very hands-on, waldorfy style of homeschooling with some workbooks. My oldest daughter did Abeka books for 1st and 2nd grade before we switched curriculum, and I actually didn't mind them. They aren't super fabulous, but they got the job done and she could do them independently. Now we are homeschooling with a group of kids, not all of whom are Christians. Since Abeka is VERY Christian, I'm not sure I can get away with buying their books, but is there a good, simple workbook-style of grammar curriculum that is similar to Abeka without being Christian? I have First Language Lessons, but I really want something that is in workbook form that the child can take and go work on independently. I know, lazy, but remember...it's supplemental! I'm with them every second!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Have you looked at Growing w/ Grammar? It's similar to Rod and Staff, but secular, and easier to use. hth http://www.growingwithgrammar.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommamia Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Easy Grammar Also, the Harcourt Flash Kids Language Arts books (Barnes & Noble) are very nice. I thought their spelling book was very comparable to Spelling Workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
