raganfamily Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Any suggestions for a good fit between FLL 4 and AG. I would like something simple, but good review before starting AG in two years. My dd just turned 11 I have used the following since he finished FLL 4 in Jan. and they don't seem to be a good fit. I want to find something and stick with it starting in July. - Rod & Staff 5 - Seemed to need to much of my help. - Easy Grammar 5 - Didn't seem to have enough good review of FLL 4 - Total Language Plus - Sign of the Beaver - (similar to pulling teeth to get the work done.) A friend suggested Shurley English, but we will only use it for two years so not sure. I considered IEW Fix-it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Why not Junior Analytical Grammar? If you just want something light to keep the concepts fresh then maybe Daily Grams (only part of Easy Grammar we found palatable) or a daily book from Evan-Moor.

Murrayshire Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Are you against doing Jr. AG? It would be a good intro to AG...... It is much more simplistic than AG, but would give an excellent start! My dd has finished and is just going through Daily Grams b/c she loves workbooks. She will start AG in August and continue with DG until then!

raganfamily Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 My older three are working through AG and they are looking forward to only completing the Review & Reinforcement. I think AG Jr. before AG would get boring. Is there diagramming with Daily Grams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMoon Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Growing with Grammar workbooks do... I think? (no experience, obviously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrayshire Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Growing with Grammar does have diagramming, but my dd did not retain a bit of grammar that year with GWG. Just our experience though. It could be gem for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Junior AG is really only covering the first season of AG. My oldest son actually did JAG twice and is now on AG season 1 as an 8th grader. I have not used the JAG mechanics, but plan to with the younger kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 We are going to do Steps To Good Grammar before AG. It includes diagramming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 FWIW, DD did AG this year with no problems, having turned 11 in late August. FLL4 is a great program and a good lead-in. I don't know that AG Jr. would be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go through AG at a slower rate? I have 3 older kids in AG now, but they started at 13 & 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 This looks good. Have you or anyone you know used this? "Mandy in TN" has used this and has posted several times about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
