mamaof4happykiddos Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We are finished with ssrw and now I'm at a lost at what next. We started the program for reading fluency and did some but not all the grammar portions. Anyone have any advice? I know there is a level 2 but that's too expensive in my opinion.

mamaof4happykiddos Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sing, spell, read and write is a language arts curriculum. We've completed the level 1 combo which is supposed to for up to a first grade level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you didn't post the ages of your DC, I couldn't even make a guess. Sorry, no helpful tips - mine is past that stage, but hopefully bumping you and your changing your thread title will help! :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaof4happykiddos Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Mainly yes but it had some very simple grammar. Noun and verb intro type things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelAR05 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I honestly have never used anything past the 1st grade level. Both my oldest girls could read fluently after that. My second daughter may have had a little more trouble but only because she can get in a hurry and guess rather than sound out the word. For practice, I had her read aloud to me. I love SSRW!

So you're wanting something for grammar and writing, not for teaching reading or spelling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelAR05 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Sorry! I thought you meant with reading. I started with FFL for grammar. Now they are taught grammar with their Latin instruction. I have not done much in the way if spelling. My second daughter does spelling with Memoria Press. My oldest is not a great speller so I should probably be doing something formally, yet she has made amazing progress on her own in just a couple of years. I will most likely use Spelling Power next year. Hopefully some one else will chime in. There are many others here much more knowledgeable when it comes to spelling.
