Momof3 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Curious how far you all got with Grammar for the Well Trained Mind. I know the intro says not to feel bad if you don't finish the first time through. Did anyone actually finish it? (I'm planning on starting this year with a 6th and 7th grader.)

Momof3 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 I like to set some tentative goals for where I want to be by such and such date for accountability, planning, and analysis purposes. Trying to decide what's practical for us this year at least for a goal. My kids have not had a rigorous grammar curricula for years, but they are very solid on the basics.

cintinative Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 No, it took us 1.5 years I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof3 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Wish they would put this video & the chart front and center on the Intermediate Grammar page. I've been there many many times to look at the curriculum and never saw this. Exactly what I was needing. Thanks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domiche Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I’m with you 100%. I didn’t find this pacing guide until after our first pass through of the first 16 weeks. We’ve been through weeks 1-15 three times over 3 semesters. Starting 7th grade this year and will move through 16-21 three times before moving on to the later chapters. The intensity definitely picks up as you progress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porridge Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I had never seen that chart! We are doing the purple book over 2 years (6-7th) with DD. She does two lessons per week. She seems to be retaining the concepts. I may have her do one more book next year to solidify the concepts, then stop formal grammar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boys are going to be at either end of the given range this next year, and SWB's advice for how to skim if the child knows the material + the linked chart are so incredibly helpful.
