alexfam Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ok this is what we are doing this year. 1. Word Study workbook (more vocabulary than grammar) 2. Sentences to Paragraphs 3. Grammar Practice 2 4. 1st English grammar This is our first year homeschooling and this is just what I got for this year b/c I just couldn't decide. I will go ahead and do these books this year, however I don't think they will last but half this school year. What does everyone use for teaching grammar?

summer Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I used BJU in the begining and then eventually, Easy Grammar. I liked both. I have seen a few other programs that I thought looked good too so it would depend on what you really want in a program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in MO Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 comprehensive grammar program in either Rod & Staff (which has books for all ages, up through 10th grade in high school) or Abeka. Supplementing it with a writing program like Classical Writing would cover virtually anything you would need. R&S and Abeka cover writing (I would skip Abeka's writing in the grammar-stage years), diagraming, outlining, research, parts of speech, usage and mechanics, punctuation and capitalization. They are both very thorough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I fumbled around with grammar programs for a whole year after we finished FLL . I could have saved my child and myself a lot of time (and me a lot of $$$) if I'd just gone with Rod & Staff. After using FLL for K & 1, we finally settled with R&S and it was a very easy transition (child already knew parts of speech, prepositions, helping and the "be" verbs!). For vocabulary we just listened to vocabulary-rich books on tape/read-alouds. I added Rummy Roots and Megawords later. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
