IfIOnly Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm torn. What did you decide to go with? ETA: I'm def. using The Sentence Family, Grammar-Land, and narration of grammar terms for the younger ones, as I did with their older siblings. ETA: Links appreciated. Thank you!

Guest Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I had purchased Fix It Grammar and have decided I want more, so I am waiting for Rod and Staff to get here. I used R&S in the past and it's not my favorite, but I know it will get the job done. We will use both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm planning to use MCT Practice Town for my 7th and 4th grader for the benefit of analyzing whole sentences. The 7th grader will also continue with Daily Grams. Still deciding on what to add for the 4th grader. Nothing to see here, lol.

Tiramisu Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Last year we did Rod and Staff and Evan-Moor Daily Language Practice. Rod and Staff just never clicked after two years of it. So this year dd will use Daily Grams and grammar in the context of writing. We're using Jump Start for a lighter approach to writing, and the second book has a bit of grammar. If I wind up adding in Dictation Day by Day for spelling and handwriting, that would be another opportunity. I was very close to using Saxon, but I think I want to emphasize handwriting and writing this year. I can move to Saxon next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 ladybugs Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I am not. My son is in 2nd grade and we are focusing on latin (Prima Latina) and plan on using MP grammar next year that goes from the latin side. To me it was a win win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgrace Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm switching from MCT to a combination of Fix It and Grammar Made Easy. I picked Fix It for the practicality of sentence editing. I picked Grammar Made Easy because it's a sentence combining approach, and the research I did identified that as the type of grammar instruction most likely to improve writing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahamamama Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 5th Grader = FLL 4 (second half, grammar only) 3rd Graders = FLL 3 (second half, grammar only) We stretch out FLL 3 over 2nd & 3rd and FLL 4 over 4th & 5th, and do only the grammar (no narrations, poetry from FLL [we do our own selections], no copywork). We also do the dictionary skills and the contraction lessons. HTH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMoon Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We are giving grammar, vocabulary, handwriting a break for a year. We will focus on Henle Latin instead. SilverMoon, how did you decide to use AG for your 7th grader? We've used R&S English till 6 and 7 for two ds's. I couldn't think of a valid reason to tell him no. *shrug* Last school year DS/7th and DD/5th used a daily review book for grammar, to free up more time for other pursuits. It took five minutes a day and kept grammar from completely falling out of their head. They knew they'd go right back to R&S the following year. When I brought that up again this spring DS/7th directly asked for something else for grammar. He is not one to complain about curricula or book choices, and a technical kid that generally does really well with grammar. Fwiw, DD/5th thumbed through a copy of JAG and said she'd rather have R&S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
