s/o What age for Killgallon?

I'm talking about the Elementary Sentence Composing Text. :)

IDK. We recently started their Story Grammar Elementary book (e.g., 20 pages in). The girls have already completed MCT's Island level and DD7 is also doing GWG3 whereas DD5 is in GWG1 (just to give you an idea of their grammar skills thus far). In my schedule, I've planned to get to Sentence Composing Elementary after MCT's Town level, so maybe in 12-18 months?

 

Maybe others who've already gone through KG can offer some input and I'll see if my ideas are practical.

My daughter struggled and needed quite a bit of handholding with SCFES (age 10) particularly with doing the imitation sentences. By the end of that year she was getting better, though.

 

The following year (the school year we just finished), she was 11 and we did Story Grammar for Elementary School which is much of the same stuff, and she was MUCH more proficient and self-sufficient at it.

 

So I would say ten and up!

This thread explains a lot! I have been "trying" to use Killgallon with ds8 and it seems to be a bit over his head still. I think we may put it away until next year:)

I'd say 10 and up. I used it with a fairly advanced 9 yr old and a more typical 10 yr old. It wasn't easy -- but it was a good challenge for them.

I would say for very strong (linguistically-oriented) 4th graders or more typical 5th or 6th graders.
