jjmw1 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 My daughter has been attending 9th grade through K12 online which is free in our state. We are moving in a month to a state where it is no longer free, and I just can't afford to pay for her to continue so we will be back to old fashioned homeschooling. I have the majority of subjects figured out for the second half of 9th grade for her. But, she is in Honors English. What can I use that would be able to be put on a transcript as an Honors English class? Looking for secular materials preferably. I think she could use a good grammar review, and she LOVES to write, so something strong with writing. (That's mostly what her Honors course has added is she writes a few more papers throughout the year and reads a couple more novels.) Also, she would like to go back to Latin as Spanish is kicking her butt this year, but has also contemplated taking both languages, maybe 2 years of Latin and 2 years of Spanish, or some sort of combination. She took 1 year of Latin as an 8th grader with K12 using PowerSpeak, but that is the only experience she has in it. And same with Spanish - it is through K12 using PowerSpeak with an actual teacher this year in 9th grade, but we are only at the end of the first quarter. Thanks for any suggestions!

5LittleMonkeys Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I've not used it so take this with a grain of salt. I know from considering it that Excellence in Literature has honors level novels. As far as a grammar review you might look at Analytical Grammar. If nothing else this will bump you back to page one.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmw1 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 :001_smile: Thank you for the reply! Funny you mentioned Excellence in Literature, I just stumbled upon the website and saw it this evening! I do believe it could be a perfect fit. I liked some of the other curriculum they had too, just need to scan the forums and get some reviews! I will check out Analytical Grammar too. Thanks so much for your help!

Melissa B Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Wheelock's Latin is secular and very good. There are also a lot of online helps for the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
