DragonflyAcademy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 My kids are using GWG and BJU English.. the pairing works very well for them..I align the GWG to provide quick, extra practice to go with the BJU focus.. I am the one having problems... :tongue_smilie: ODS asked me to remind him with a Direct Object was.. I drew a blank.. so this then entailed looking it up in various places.. Or one of them is struggling with prepositional phrases.. and I have NO idea how to help make it clearer.. because I don't understand it myself....even after several examples from a few different places (workbook, online etc) So.. is there a quick reference guide I can buy.. that when one of them says "Mom, help me find the predicate nominative" I can do that... or quickly look up what a preposition is.. I really did do well in school.. but I don't remember this at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandieRose Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I would recommend Shurley English. The WTM recommends it if you need help on "how" to teach English. It has worked very well for my kids and me. You can easily start below level and then skip levels to catch up. We skipped every other level. Oh, and it's scripted, so you don't have to know it before you teach it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonflyAcademy Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yes, I am familiar with Shurley.. but don't want to buy another program for the kids.. I just need a quick reference guide for ME.. the kids are good with what we are using..Shurley is too $$ for that...it is a nice program.. although my kids hated it when we used it....too singy sorry if I wasn't clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckabella Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I thought there was a line/series of books for parents to help with homework. They had them in many subjects. I thought they were called Yellow Pages for ________. Sadly, I cannot find them at the moment to link them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckabella Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 How about a Sparks Charts? I wish I could link it, but I am on DH's iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
