Love Home Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) We are finishing up the Town level and I'm not sure what level to do next school year (7th grade). I heard that Voyage grammar doesn't really have anything new so I'm wondering if we should do the new "Literature" level or go onto Magic Lens 1 (this is for grammar, not writing). What would you all suggest? Does the Literature level grammar have new content? Thanks! Edited February 5, 2016 by Sweetpeasmom Quote
kbutton Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Voyage does have new content and more challenging work. It's not a huge step up, but it does have new stuff. I'll be looking at the Literature Level at convention--the online samples don't give much to go on. Quote
Love Home Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 I wish there was a scope and sequence on their website. I still don't' know what to order. Quote
Runningmom80 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I have an accelerated learner, and we opted to skip Voyage. Other posters on the accelerated board chimed in that it was kind of repetitive and not as engaging as Islan and Town. We actually took this year off of grammar, I added in Brave Writer and concentrated on writing skills, something I didn't feel like we really got with MCT. We are going to do the Lit level next year. We saved Caesar's English I & II for this year, so he's getting a sort of review. He also does Spanish which talks about English grammar. I can't imagine us also learning about he 8 parts of speech again with Voyage. I'm sure whatever new info there is will be touched on again in the Lit level. Quote
GeoKitty Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 We finished Town and are currently doing Voyage. We zoomed through Grammar Voyage. However, CE2, Essay Voyage, and Practice Voyage are great. I wouldn't skip them. We haven started the Poetry book yet. That being said, I don't know whether to do the new Lit level or the Magic Lens level for next year. I am leaning towards the Magic Lens level only because there are so few samples of the Lit level. And, like the OP, I don't want a lot of repetition. Quote
SparklyUnicorn Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Voyage was not our favorite. I wouldn't skip CE2 though. We loved that. Quote
