Mama2two Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Anyone use Essential in Writing? I am considering it for my soon to be 8 year old son. http://www.essentialsinwriting.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharilynn29 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I haven't used it yet, but I liked the samples and reviews enough to order it for my 9th grader. I heard it's like MUS for English, and my son loves MUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama2two Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 I really like the samples too. I think we may try it, are you thinking it alone is really enough for both writing and grammar? It would be great if it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharilynn29 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 From what I see, there is more grammar in the younger years with the most at about 4th grade. Toward the later years, the is a grammar review with a focus more on writing. I think it would be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsbaby Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I use the second grade level this year. The lessons, while short and to the point, seemed effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at your signature, did you think then that you needed to supplement the grammar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
