momee Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not sure about ordering them mainly due to expense. Are they worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Togo Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 We have used AG with two students and did not use the dvds. The student and teacher books are all you need. Excellent results, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Excellent results, btw. :iagree: Ds consistently scores 95%+ on all grammar related standardized tests. We used AG before there were DVDs. You may read my review here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGin Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We have used AG with two students and did not use the dvds. The student and teacher books are all you need. Excellent results, btw. :iagree: Used this for two students with great success and both quickly were able to move through it almost independently without dvds.

Mallorie Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 My oldest is still working through it, w/out the DVD's, no problem. He still hates grammar, but he's scoring very well with it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope in God Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We didn't use the DVD's either but I will say that the program is parent intensive. We have had excellent results though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) I will say that the program is parent intensive I did not consider the program parent intensive. Edited August 23, 2012 by Sue in St Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momee Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks, everyone. You made biting the $95 bullet a bit easier. We will forgo the DVDs and I'll be ready for the teacher intensiveness but gladly surprised when it isn't :) Just kidding. To each his own when it comes to curricula, that's for sure. I'm looking forward to breaking free from Rod and Staff, if even for a season. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Togo Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We didn't find it parent intensive either. Our children worked the lessons, asked for help if they needed it, and I checked the work. Both times we used AG, we worked through all of the seasons in a little over a year. After AG, we moved on to foreign languages and formal grammar instruction for high school was over.

happygrrl Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I loved the DVD's, but also feel the program would have worked as well without them. They offer no more instruction than the notes in the book. For ds, it was a great introduction to having someone other than mom teach a lesson. He was 100% responsible for his own class. He is an aspie, and has trouble with that skill. All I did was correct the work. If I saw recurring issues, I would require him to re-watch the section and do extra practice (that rarely happened). I love AG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
