Pat in MI Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Do you follow the suggested schedule of one unit a week? It looks to be more than my ds would handle. What are some other ways you have scheduled this to break it up even more? And do we really have to do grammar everyday? Ugh! :tongue_smilie: Thanks for looking. I hope someone has some creative ideas. I know I need to teach some grammar to this boy, but this looks so overwhelming. Do I just need to dig into it a little more?

2cents Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 When we did AG I split the lessons into 2 lessons for different days. I found that while my son was very good at grammar, if I had him do one whole lesson a day he would get bored halfway through and start making errors. Splitting it up solved that. The lessons tend IMO to be overly long. I didn't want to skip half the lesson because it seemed wasteful but my choice was between stretching it into two shorter lessons or risk making grammar a tedious chore to a kid who had previously liked it. We split up the lessons. Taking it in smaller increments worked for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaOz Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 My dd does one lesson twice a week. It will take longer to get through each section, of course, but I like it this way. She does other LA work on other days. HTH Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat in MI Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Linda, So your dd would do two exercises or one exercise split in two? Another question, please, did your dd do the Skills Support writing assignment? Thanks so much for your help. Blessings, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaOz Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi Pat, She does two exercises a week - one on Tuesday and one on Thursday. She also does the Skills Support writing assignment. I think, however, that it still would be effective if you just wanted to splilt one lesson up over two days, especially if you think it would be too overwhelming for your ds to start off with a whole lesson at a time. My oldest dd handles one lesson a time, but I don't think my next dd will - so possibly I will split the lessons up for her when her AG turn comes around.

Pat in MI Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 I think I will split the lessons up. Thank you for your responses. Blessings, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 My dd is doing it during the summer while we're not doing much other school. Then, during the school year, she can concentrate on other language arts. By the way, she adores Analytical Grammar, so this isn't a burden.
