Well-ordered Language VS Shurley English VS ??


Recommended Posts

I'm planning for next year and right now my two main choices for LA are WOL and Shurley. My 2 girls- 9-year-old daughter is very bright/gifted and quirky, possibly ASD or ADHD, and 15-year-old daughter who has significant learning disabilities in language arts- reading at a 3-4th grade level, and spelling 1-2nd grade level, and writes very primitively. I am almost thinking to use the same level of whatever with them. This year we are using TGTB- younger in level 2 and older in level 3. It's been going fair but I'm not totally happy with it. 9-year-old refuses about half of it, hates the readers, doesn't want to do any of the cutesy spelling activities. (Although I am fairly certain she's be okay with the recitation/jingles in the 2 above programs- she likes singing and memorizing). I don't see too many recent posts about either of these 2 programs so if anyone is currently using them, I'd love some feedback, pros, cons, other options. Thanks so much!

I asked about WOL a bit ago. I didn’t get a single positive response. In my perusing, WOL looks like a slimmed down Shurley. It’s on my short list for 5 yr old in a few years.

If your 9yr old is gifted, look at Michael Clay Thompson Lang. Arts. Here is a recent thread:

And my thread asking about both:

HTH!
