JessReplanted Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm just curious - do you finish your entire book during the course of the year? We're on Lesson 98, and I need to decide whether to zip through the rest, or just carry it over for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvasMom Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We finish it. Keep pressing, you're almost there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) We did, but we skipped some of the writing assignments. Edited May 3, 2012 by Cinder clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvasMom Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We didn't do the writing either. Forgot to add that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We used R&S 2 and didn't finish. We did finish 3. Skipped the friendly letter type stuff and the poetry stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We often skip the telephone lessons, as well as introduction lessons (as in, Mother this is so and so, so and so this is Mother) as well as a few other lessons that often fall in the last chapter. Anything that seems unnecessary is skipped. I'd say we cut out at least 10 lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessReplanted Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Ok, thanks! Maybe we'll start doing some of it orally so we can double up on lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We always finish the book, but it's starting to take longer than a year. My son is almost done with level 6, but it's going on two years that we've been working through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We finish. We, too, skip the writing, telephone, letter-writing, and poetry lessons. We also skip those few lessons correcting what's probably regional speech that my kids don't use or hear. ("Ain't" or "that there tree.")

GAPeachie Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We do part of the book orally and part of it written. We also skip the poetry, rhyming sections and dictionary sections. We use a dictionary daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We finish. We, too, skip the writing, telephone, letter-writing, and poetry lessons. We also skip those few lessons correcting what's probably regional speech that my kids don't use or hear. ("Ain't" or "that there tree.") Cat the That there tree lesson really cracked my kids up. They had never in their whole lives heard anyone speak in such a way. We finished, we skipped all poetry, but did the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 We finished all but the last 5 lessons of level 2. We had already done synonyms, antonyms, and the other few things at the end in a different workbook. We skip some reviews as well. I can see that we should finish 3&4 in one year, but I do plan to take two years for level 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessReplanted Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 the That there tree lesson really cracked my kids up. They had never in their whole lives heard anyone speak in such a way. We actually hear people talk like that around here. We covered this lesson! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ears start to bleed when I try to read the wrong examples out loud. *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
