Quiver0f10 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I am thinking of having my 10th grader do this next semester as a review before the ACT and SAT. I would love to hear from you if you used this program and how well your student liked it. Did you feel they learned alot from it and was it worth the time/money?

Moira in MA Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I haven't any experience of the Potter School courses, but I had my entering 9th grader take the SO Practical Grammar summer course which used the Painless Grammar text. She enjoyed the six week session and got a lot out of it. I've seen significant improvements in her written work so far this year. Some things to note are that the Painless _________ series of books include answers, so you don't have to pay for an expert if your student will self-study and although marked for jr high, they offer good quick review for high schoolers. I've used Painless Grammar and Painless Poetry with good results. HTH ~Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
