Guest Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 We are just finishing up SWI - A, and have really enjoyed it this year. It was perfect for both of my kids. Next year they will be in 6th grade and 4th grade, and I would prefer to teach them together again if possible. Would you recommend we do SWI-B, All Things Fun & Fabulous, or a different theme based writing program? I already had All Things Fun & Fabulous here, but I didn't know if it would be a good option for my 6th grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarynB Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 After doing an SWI, you don't do another SWI. You'd either do the relevant continuation course (SICC-A in your case) or move on to a theme unit. We did the ancient history unit after our SWI since it tied in with our history studies for the year and it worked well. Or you could just apply SWI concepts to writing across the curriculum on your own. Sorry, no experience with ATFF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have my catalog right in front of me, and I forgot which one came after SWI-A. I don't really want to do Ancient History because we covered Ancient History for a long time, and I am happy we have moved on :). I will go look at SICC-A, and the other themes closer. I prefer to use a program just to keep me on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
