Love2Smile Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I am considering this because nothing else has worked? Do you know anything about this curriculum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahv Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I used ACE grammar K-12, and love it. I will use it with my kids. What grades are you wondering about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahv Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The grammar is very solid, with alot of review, and alot of diagramming. The format of the workbooks are really easy to use, easy to understand with interesting content. I always enjoyed working in the PACE's as a kid. You only have to do 3-4 pages per day to complete the year, so the bites are not huge, you know? You may want to do a diagnostic test, though, to find out which PACE numbers they need, instead of just ordering the 12 for their grade level. Sometimes an area might be weak and kids need specific PACE numbers to fill in that review. The diagnostic test can be taken free online at the school of tomorrow's website. Here is a link http://www.schooloftomorrow.com/acediagnostic/ In the high school years, the grammar PACE's include literature and writing, but not enough in my mind. They do study literature, but it is not classical in nature, and the writing assignments are mostly just shorter essays and some creative writing assignments. I plan to supplement a literature and a writing program in high school with my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
