Kfamily Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi! I will be using WT2 and some writing across the curr. for dd going into 6th. We will also start Henle and I know this starts off with diagramming as well. What can I use for grammar that includes diagramming but is still somewhat introductory as dd has not had this before? I want something that starts from the beginning (we have covered all basic parts of speech and there is grammar in WT) and that is not too simplistic (because I need to bump her up here) but does not become overly time-consuming or overly stressful. :001_smile: Is this possible? With dd at 11 it seems everything is overwhelming to her.:lol: I am shying away from R&S because I've I would probably have to backtrack her with this curr. (at least to 5th) and I want to keep grade levels out of this (her confidence is sooo easily wounded these days). Besides, one of my major goals is to resestablish her as a focused and confident student. I would love any advice or ideas. I have read all the grammar threads lately and I can't seem to find the right one. If it's useful to know I may go to CW Homer next year and have considered Harvey's Grammar. Thanks to all of you!!

Raini Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Have you looked at Growing with Grammar? I'm pretty sure each year starts from the beginning and it does include diagramming. My dd easily finished early last year without much complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Abeka also has diagramming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meljoy Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 We are going to be using Hake Grammar 6 -it has diagramming.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camibami Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I recommend Growing with grammar. Simple explanations for those with no grammar (um, me!) and extensive diagramming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2boys Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I second the recommendation for Growing With Grammar. www.growingwithgrammar.com Based on my experience, it will meet the requirements you have listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfamily Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 I will take a look at Growing with Grammar. I tried earlier but my computer wouldn't pull up the samples. So, what do you think about using Harvey's Grammar. I only wonder because I have thought that if I go to CW Homer (for older beginners) that I could start the grammar a little earlier. Decision, decisions... Thanks to all for your suggestions. Any other ideas are welcome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
