If you started Fix It! Grammar in high school...

[Guest]

which level did you begin with?  I am thinking level 4? We are just completing the Easy Grammar grade 9 level workbook  (180 Daily Teaching Lessons).

There is a placement test for Fix-It.

I should add - my 9th grader started with level 3 this year. I started my 7th grader in level 1. It was easy and she blew through it. We could have gone through it more quickly, but we did not. Oh well. :) It is a quick few minutes a day program.

I'm eying this as well.

I have gone over the samples, etc...  several times and feel good about starting her with level 4.  I just feel like we have been going through the motions with EG and not getting much out of it. My youngest (5th grade) started Fix It! with level 1 this past year and it has gone very well.

What book you decide to start with probably depends what your goals/reasons are for switching to Fix-It.

 

I started my 8th grader with book 1 and he flew through it in just a few weeks. I plan on him finishing books 2 & 3 in 9th, then 1 book a year after that. Learning grammar concepts is not our goal, he already knows grammar well as it's own subject. It's putting grammar to work in the context of his own writing he has trouble with. So we're going through all the levels anyway as an intentional decision because I want him to really develop self-editing skills from the ground up.

I had my eighth grader doing Level 1 with his younger brothers this year and we will continue into Level 2 next year.  We may not finish the series but that's o.k.
