SorrelZG Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I have no problems to solve for the moment regarding this year so I'm thinking about next ... How different/far apart are the end goals of these two programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well, I wouldn't suggest either/or but both. :001_smile: I actually use both. CW is just writing and needs an outside grammar program. And while R & S does include writing, I don't think it's as comprehensive as the CW program. Hope that helps, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I vote the same; we use both. I do tend to skip most of the writing lessons in R&S. So far it's worked well for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parias1126 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 What is CW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 CW = Classical Writing If we're talking a 6 year old (OP's signature), the Primers from Classical Writing are sufficient, perhaps a bit too much depending on the kid, and I wouldn't put R&S with them. The Aesop levels, grades 3 and 4, teach the grammar you'll need to complete it, but by Homer, grades 5 and 6, you'll need a separate grammar program. We were already deep into R&S by the time we started CW Aesop, so we did do both concurrently. The grammar in Aesop is pretty mellow compared to R&S and it would have been taking a step backwards for them at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I look through CW, the more I think it's beyond me. I had a very poor writing and grammar education myself so perhaps MPs editions of Classical Comp. would be more doable for me .. but I suppose that's another thread.
