mo2 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I have seen it mentioned a few times but I can't seem to find it at any of the usual places (RR, Amazon, Barnes and Noble). Where is it sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 It's out of print. This is the one I have. Answer keys are available for the 3rd and 4th, I think, from a couple catholic correspondence schools. I just use my copy as a reference book. I don't teach grammar with exercises, but sentence compositions instead, so don't need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Holt also prints them under the name of Holt Traditions. Here is the one my dd is using in 6th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once typed up the table of contents: Thank you for that! I posted the pdf links here http://forums.welltr...m/#entry4828336 Awesome! Thanks! Okay, now I'm confused as to what grade level the different courses correspond to. Are you supposed to do all of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thank you for that! Awesome! Thanks! Okay, now I'm confused as to what grade level the different courses correspond to. Are you supposed to do all of them? My dd's classical school does them for 3 years then change from a literature, composition, grammar class with a separate history to a humane letters class. They start with the one I linked then do course 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Okay, now I'm confused as to what grade level the different courses correspond to. Are you supposed to do all of them? First Course is for 7th grade, Second Course for 8th, and so on, till Fifth Course, which is for 11th, and finally, the Complete Course, which is for 12th-adult.
