lamolina Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We have done Rod and Staff for 3 years, and my daughter would like to try something new this year. She is in 8th grade and this will be our last year homeschooling before she transitions to public high school. Any ideas of a great program to use for 1 year?? It could include writing as we need something for that as well. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Ds/9th used Fix It for 8th and liked it well enough. It got the job done and was relatively painless, and it gave him more time to focus on writing. For DD/8th I'm leaning toward The Chortling Bard, which is similar to Fix It, but the stories used are from her beloved Shakespeare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredluvsjoanie Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Giggly Grammar is very thorough and very funny. My eldest son and I had a great time his last year before high school! Edited August 9, 2017 by JNDodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamolina Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks for the ideas, they all look good! If i were to use one of these for her grammar, what would you then choose for writing for one year? She has done IEW up until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventuresinHomeschooling Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 You might look at Warriner's grammar. It's an older text that is quite good, and Rod and Staff will have provided an excellent foundation. For writing, maybe do a year of creative writing. WTM has one that looks awesome.
