amo_mea_filiis. Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 First, if you were dd's math folder, where the heck would you be?! Our recent string if events made me wish dd had some more independent work. What's out there, decent, and very inexpensive for grammar and spelling? Alone, she can do geography, history, latin and asl, read for science, and math. I never make her do all of this alone, but i'd like to be able to get the basics done when we have bad weeks.

Night Elf Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 When my dd14 was in 4th grade, we used Growing with Grammar. It was workbook based and I seem to recall it was fairly independent. Maybe someone else is familiar with it. Would your ds have hidden his math folder for some reason? Is it under a stack of other folders/papers?

amo_mea_filiis. Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Why do i always check where something belings, last?! It was right where it was supposed to be! I have come across growing with grammar and will look again. We have been doing fll from the beginning because she wasnt able to identify even a noun by name, so this is a slow process. Does gwg start early? R do you need some knowledge to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Speaking only to GWG, yes, it starts in a 1-2 work text, then in the later years has a text & student workbook. It's very straightforward, and my now 11yo worked mostly independently from 2 on (with occasional questions answered or clarification from me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Saxon Grammar is thorough and works well when used independently. I read the lesson and did the handful of practice problems together with my son and then he did the longer review set independently. But he could have easily done the whole thing by himself.
