Too much language art overlapping...help!

[bethben]

Currently, we are doing PLL, AAS, and I am going to start WWE because I can integrate writing into the rest of what ds is learning (and it's a writing program that makes sense to me). I am finding that I am duplicating language art goals. For example, WWE has dictation and copywork, AAS has dictation, and PLL has dictation and copywork (along with other things). I would like to keep WWE and AAS, but PLL I'm not too sure about. I've been skipping the dictation already and the oral summaries would seem to be overkill when I start WWE. I would like something that ds can do independently. I'm open to workbooks since we really don't use them a whole lot anyhow (something like easy grammar?). Any suggestions on how to streamline this?

Drop the dictation lessons from WWE, use AAS, and drop PLL since you're happier with WWE. :)

Hmmmm....I'd suggest maybe replacing PLL with Growing with Grammar (workbook based), and only doing AAS dictation 2 days a week and the dictation from WWE the other 2 days. The 2 programs focus on different kinds of dictation - one is for the spelling rules, and the WWE focuses on grammar concepts.

We're using AAS and WWE and R&S 3. I'm going to replace one of the dictation excercises from WWE per week with the dictation in AAS. Otherwise, leave everything else the same.

 

I think the dictation and copywork from PLL could also replace some from WWE.

 

I actually think those 3 LA choices work well together, just need a slight modification.
