Anybody else liking JUMP IN this year?

[HollyDay]

Somehow I missed the Jump In boat when it sailed. I just discovered it this year. THis is our second week with the program and so far I am liking it. Dd is liking it.

 

Anyone else have any raves or rants about it?

We really like it here. I love the bite size chunks, and so does my reluctant writer. It seems to be very thorough as well which meant I did not have to go shopping for books dealing with all the different kinds of writing, it's all in 1 book for a great price. 2 thumbs up here!

Here are 3 threads from last year with more input from people who used it last year. BEST of luck! Warmly, Lori D.

I have heard good things about Jump In and wanted to find out more about it.

 

Lori, if you come back to this thread.... thank you for posting the links (you are always SO helpful), but I couldn't get them to work. When I search for jump in I get lots of results that have nothing to do with the curriculum :tongue_smilie:.

 

Thanks for any help!

We just started it this year. I have an 11 year old girl. She hates writing but so far loves the workbook. She says it feels so personal. I'm sure the questionarie about her likes and dislikes on the first few pages helped!

 

Soon she will be gearing up to actually write a paper that is in some logical order. She has written papers before but they were not put together properly. I tired to teach her over the years but Jump In is a nice all in one writing curriculum that will show her what I've been trying to get through to her for a couple years now. That there needs to be some format and proper logical set-up to her papers!!!

 

I think Jump In is pretty thorough. We're going to work through it for 6th and 7th grade.

 

I just LOVE it!!

 

I would like to see a nice colorful friendly grammar book similar to Jump In. I would also like to see a thorough book of literary terms with suggestion readings of real books to demonstrate the use of the term.

 

I LOVE all-in-one type of books. I like things streamlined. Then we keep one book for examples and reference.

 

Jump In is great!

Well, it's not all-in-one, but we really enjoyed doing Figuratively Speaking last year as a great intro to 40 literary terms: definition; examples from classic literature; a page of exercises to practice finding it/using it; optional writing ideas.
