Dayle in Guatemala Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I really like it. For our LA curr. we use LLATL, so I wanted, starting in about 4th grade, a grammar curriculum that isn't over the top, very basic, with lots of review and drills. Ridgewood Grammar is what I chose. I've been very pleased with it. It's 3 books starting with the basic parts of speech in book 1 and working towards more in depth grammar by book 3. There is a good amount of diagramming and teaching of proper punctuation with different parts of speech. The lessons are easy to understand and I really didn't need to do much teaching with it. The dc didn't mind doing it, actually, they looked forward to it. After doing all 3 books by the end of 6th grade, my dd was able to handle the more complicated grammar in the Green book for LLATL without any problems. I think it's a great program, and very affordable. I didn't buy the teacher's manuals so I don't know about those. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayle in Guatemala Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't know if this makes a difference to you or not, but, there are some references to Harry Potter in some of the sentence exercises in the books. It didn't bother me, but, I don't know how you feel about that subject!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well, I love the Harry Potter books and movies myself. But my kids are not interested in them. Thanks for the heads up. How do you like LLATL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like LLATL? If I remember, there are only a few references. Luckily, my kids are as into Harry Potter as I am. :) We used Ridgewood and I was pleased with it. Good way to cement the basics, and they incude diagramming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like LLATL? We like it a lot here. I've used it for all 3 dc from the Blue book through the Gray book. It's worked well for us here so far and I have 3 dc with 3 very different learning styles and apptitudes for LA. I haven't had to supplement it too much, which is great, too.
