LaMere Academy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 For the tan book. I remember using the Orange book many years ago with my oldest and I *think* I remember that it wasn't any help. Can anyone tell me if I should get it for the tan book. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowergirl159 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Please excuse me for going off topic, how did you find LLATL Orange? We used yellow last year and loved it, felt like it covered all I wanted it to. However, DD is not enjoying Orange, it feels like it doesn't flow or something (can't quite put my finger on it) I think she finds the book studies go on for too long. I was expecting a spelling list each lesson like Yellow had. It just seems really difficult to slog away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemom Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We are using the tan book right now and have both the teacher's and student edition. I don't think the teacher's book is something that is absolutely necessary. It does have the answers in it but if you are good at grammar you should be fine without it. I prefer to have my own book or a teacher's edition-just kind of anal that way. I picked up the TE used on Amazon for $4 with shipping. Well worth it my mind.

I may be making a mistake trying it again, but it's with a different student and he needs grammar and spelling review. I don't remember any details about the orange book other than it just didn't work for us and it seemed boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you and your child liking the tan book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowergirl159 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks so much Becky for your reply :) Nice to know I am not the only one feeling this way about it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemom Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 We actually really like it. We were also doing EG & DG but I have dropped both of those. I purchased LLATL in December and added it after I noticed she wasn't really retaining anything with EG. I have already purchased the green book for next year. The green book does have a lot of sentence diagramming so I'm not sure how I will implement that-not a fan of diagramming. I have researched the tan, green, and grey book. I feel that they really build on each other. I am hoping this will be a better fit for her. If I feel she needs a little more grammar, I just pull out a worksheet from EG or find something online to supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's a good fit for my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
