Grammar Stage Preferred Language Arts Curriculum

[kim in ks]

There's been a lot of questions ask about preferred Grammar, so I thought a poll would be easier to see what is the preferred.

I chose other. We've tried many but the only one that's worked and my kids like is Growing with Grammar

[Plaid Dad]

Another "other" here: I prefer to teach grammar via Latin, with the grammar in Classical Writing as a backup if needed. (CW recommends Harvey's for formal grammar instruction.)

[NorCalMom]

I voted "other", because I really don't know yet. :) We will start out with FLL. I really wanted to give this thread a bump to get more responses.;)

[Parrothead]

I like FLL. Luckily we've been able to use is grades 2-4. Hopefully next year 5th grade will be ready for dd.

[5sweeties]

Other here too...I really like CLE.

[Closeacademy]

I'm doing something different too. I wrote my own notebooking pages and charts to go along with the Ruth Heller Grammar Picture books because my dd is a VSL and I wanted to make it more visual for her.:001_smile:

I have used BJU, Abeka, Jensen's, and Easy Grammar. This year I am using FLL for 1st and 2nd grade and then will use Easy Grammar later.

[King Alfred Academy]

I chose other. We've tried many but the only one that's worked and my kids like is Growing with Grammar

 

 

:iagree: Same here!

[Amy loves Bud]

I voted for two:

 

First Language Lessons has been fabulous for my talkative, artsy daughter. My son, however, did not click with it and Growing with Grammar has been a huge hit for him - very concrete and geared toward his way of thinking.

 

So I voted FLL *and* other.

 

I'm sure when Romy gets older I might have to add a third - they are just all different.

[Testimony]

I use Writing Tales and copywork and dictation for my language arts. I am trying Growing with Grammar next year, but I think that I will overkill my older son with Latin and Grammar. We'll see how this turns out.

 

Blessings in your homeschool journey!

 

Sincerely,

Karen

1st -Language Lessons for the Very Young by Sandi Queen

2nd- Primary Language Lessons by Margot Davidson

3rd- Primary Language Lessons by Margot Davidson - yes, it can be a two year program

4th- Writing Tales 1 (summer session), Intermediate Language Lessons by Margot Davidson

 

Intermediate Language Lessons is designed to be used 4th-6th, in 6th we'll use Analytical Grammar. We may use Jr. Analytical Grammar earlier but that is still to be determined.

 

Add in French and Latin studies as well.

I voted other. I really like VIE. Ds and I both understand it.:001_smile:
