mindygz Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 dd9 and I are just finishing up FLL3. Reading another thread made me remember Grammar Land, and wondered if those of you who have used it can tell me how you used it and how long it took. We are pretty happy with FLL and I already have FLL4 ready to start, but wondered about taking some time to do Grammar Land, but want to know how others have done it and how long I might expect to spend on it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 We just finished Grammar Land, and we loved it - we're sad it is done. We did a chapter a day, 3-4 days a week, and we read the chapter on the kindle and then DD did the really amazing worksheet that a mom here prepared. I would point you to the link, but I don't have it any longer, I downloaded pdfs of her files. Hopefully someone will read this who has the link. Doing the worksheets added a lot to the learning, I definitely recommend it. It took 20-30 min per session, I think, to read the chapter and do the worksheets (some were longer than others) and I think there are 18 chapters? We did it all during the month of Februrary. Now we are looking forward to the arrival of MCT Town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jessica* Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Here is a link that should take you to the worksheets. Let me know if it doesn't work. https://docs.google.com/?tab=mo&authuser=0#folders/0B97VumpziE6VZDdhZGQ0YmYtNzhiMi00NTU2LTk3YzItOTNlOGYwNWIyOGRj I think I'm going to put a link to them in my sig so people can find them easily.

myfatherslily Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Does this work? If not, search Google Docs for "grammar-land". We just started it recently :) I intend to take about a week per chapter, but my DD is just 2nd grade. We'll stop if it gets too confusing. For an older child who's more familiar with all the parts of speech, I imagine you can go faster! I really enjoy reading it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeBlessings Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 We really enjoyed GrammarLand! We read 2 chapters a week until done. Thank you Jessica for sharing the worksheets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindygz Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thanks for the input, all! And thank you, Jessica, for those worksheets! I downloaded them all and am looking forward to starting this week. I think we will try for 2-3 lessons a week, and maybe some Mad Libs on the other day(s). My daughter is doing well with FLL but seems to forget which term goes with which part of speech. She loves stories, so I think GL will be nice for her.

sagira Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Those worksheets are awesome! I think they are in another league altogether :) As I move more towards completely CM, I can see Grammarland as a wonderful addition to PLL. We are already doing PLL 3 times a week, and having Grammarland for the other two days would be perfect. I think I'm going to have Librivox read it out loud for us.

UmMusa Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This is great.. I need some grammar to finish off the school year, and this looks cool with the worksheets. Thank you for making them Jessica! Is Grammar Land some old text? I've never heard of it before and am not sure about reading it from the laptop or ipad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for making them Jessica! Is Grammar Land some old text? I've never heard of it before and am not sure about reading it from the laptop or ipad. Yes, it is an old text, and it is available free on kindle and free for other e-readers. We read it from the kindle, and I printed out Jessica's worksheets for dd to do on a clipboard. We did the whole thing on the couch - loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmMusa Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Cool! I got it downloaded on my iPad and have the worksheets saved for printing. Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindygz Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 We started today. Thank you to whoever mentioned Librivox! I am still suffering from a nasty cold so reading that much aloud would have been out of the question, but the Librivox recording is great! I think this will be a much needed and enjoyable reinforcement for dd9. And all for free!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 What happened to the worksheets? I directed someone else to them and she informed me that it said there was an error. I just checked, and sure enough the link doesn't work anymore. Did you take them down or is google having trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It's working for me right now. Maybe it was a temporary glitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I had time to make up an answer key as so many of you have wished for. Then again, grammar is not my strong suit, so maybe I should leave it to an expert!

Kathryn Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I got the "Internal Server Error" alert on the iPad. On my iPhone, it wanted me to log in. But, it works from my Windows computer. Thanks so much for these by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
