skimomma Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Dd finished up the last of Analytical Grammar last school year. It has worked well for her and I feel like she has a very good grasp. I do not want to spend much more school time on grammar here on out so I would like to use their reinforcement books. I went to purchase one and found that there are several (The Great American Authors, British, World, etc....). Is one better than the other or should we just go with what she would find the most interesting? And just to cover my bases, anyone have other suggestions for grammar retention? Or opinions about our plan in general? Dd is also taking Lukeion Latin 3 so gets hit with grammar on that end too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Were it me, I would just find a good writing reference book and address grammar issues as they come up in your dd's writing. If she's getting grammar through Latin, I don't see much reason to keep working on it as a separate subject in high school if you are satisfied that she knows it. I would transition from "studying grammar" to "applying grammar." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We used one of the reinforcement books in 9th grade after having completed AG in 6th-8th grade. I would let her choose what she finds most interesting. I didn't feel a need to use it more than one year. Just focused on applying grammar skills in writing.
