How much time for Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind?

[LauraBeth475]

If you are using this for junior high, roughly how much time are you spending each day?  I’m hearing a lot about needing more than one year to finish a workbook.

It depends on the lesson, but many of the lessons are quite dense, especially as you move into the latter half of the book. My DD spends about 30 min +/- 15 on the lessons, not including the portion where it’s a dialog between parent and child - that part usually takes ~15 min.

I don’t know if you’ve seen, but SWB put out a document with recommendations on how to pace GWTM. I’ll try to find it and post it here.

For DD, we do grammar twice a week, and spread purple book over 2 years.

Oh that’s helpful.  Thanks!

Are the different color workbooks all the same difficulty level?

My understanding is that the different color workbook are the same level of difficulty- they just provide different sets of exercises to help the student review and master concepts.
