Allison TX Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 We just started WWS and my boys (7th & 8th) love it! It is the first writing program that my 7th grade ds has said anything positive about, ever.:001_smile: I am unsure which grammar program to use alongside WWS. We have used an IEW/ GWG combo for the last few years, but were ready for something different. I have Rod & Staff 6, but it seems like overkill used with WWS. Am I wrong? Would I use both everyday? Would I use the writing lessons within R&S as well? I also have GWG. We are so used to this it is probably the easiest choice to go with, but I don't know that retention has been all that great. I'm also concerned that it doesn't go beyond level 8. Would I stop grammar in 9th, and just continue with WWS and lit study for high school? We have been trying Easy Grammar 8 for the past week, and I'm not thrilled with it. The boys like it because it is quick and easy, but I feel it is lacking...something. Does anyone have any suggestions, or what are you using grammar with WWS? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I use R&S and skip the writing assignments. I only use the grammar in R&S. Another good option that lots of people like is Hake grammar. Again, you skip the writing assignments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim C Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 We have been using Saxon/Hake Grammar for the past couple of years. I like it, but my ds is ready for a change. So, this fall we will be using Analytical Grammar along side WWS. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allison TX Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks. I'll look into Kiss and Hake. I remember looking at Kiss years ago and found it to be very confusing. Has it gotten more user friendly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joani Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Analytical Grammar :iagree: My oldest used this combo last year and it worked well. My rising 7th and 8th graders will do the same this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodland Mist Academy Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We use MCT, KISS, and Hake. We will soon be adding Killgallon. Each program has strengths and weaknesses. ETA: You could use any of the first three alone. We just like them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMoon Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We used R&S English for grammar with WWS. We only skipped some of the writing lessons, only the lessons that seemed redundant enough they could practically do them blindfolded.

Mom-ninja. Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm getting ready to switch from GWG to Daily Grammar Practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallory Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We are using WWS and Rod&Staff. We started with R&S 6 and I should have just planned on half each year, if we don't make it all the way through the grammar series, that will be okay. We are also going to use Killgallons Sentance Composing once a week and grammar 2x a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom2011 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We use Easy Grammar with WWS. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'd use MCT for 8 weeks (and the practice book for longer) followed by Hake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
