UCF612 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 My son has done Fix It and ELTL. I was planning to switch him back to Fix It next year just to shorten his day a bit but he says he likes ELTL better. I've never used the writing program from IEW. So while I'm still not totally sure what I want to do next year I will keep his opinion in mind. That's probably not helpful to you but figured I'd throw it out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaquitita Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) OK, I may have overreacted when I saw the diagramming master resource in the back of the book. :O I started working through the grammar lessons myself and I'm almost halfway through the book and so far so good. Right now I'm thinking about using both ELTL and IEW. Would this be overkill? Eta: It dawned on me to look at WWS. It does look good! I notice SWB recommends IEW after WWS. Maybe part of the trouble is that I placed him low in ELTL because we hadn't done any formal grammar yet, but I'm wishing he was doing the writing in the next level. When I look at the 'acceptable description' samples in WWS, I know there's no way my son would write anything that descriptive or verbose. I need something to help get him writing more than short summaries. I need something to help him figure out how to write more. I guess that's what I'm looking at IEW for. I'm not seeing tht kind of thing in ELTL and WWS. Is it there and I'm just missing it? Edited February 13, 2017 by vaquitita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
