brendafromtenn Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Ya'll, this is for one of the ladies in my support group. I have used Rod and Staff and Analytical Grammar so I don't have any experience with Easy Grammar. But here is her question.....She had been using Rod and Staff grammar with her son with success, and he got to 6th grade Rod and Staff last year and hit a wall....Started getting D's on most assignments....(Can anyone relate???) So, she switched over to Winston Grammar to give him a change for this year and he has done very well with this program...All A's..... But what to do next year.....Does she go back to Rod and Staff 6th and try it again, now that the son is older and has matured.....OR....Does she go with something like Easy Grammar Plus........ And if she does go with Easy Grammar, is it strong enough to call it "college prep"? Anyone here have good success with Easy Grammar?

YJ in AL Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 My older two used Abeka until 7th grade, then we switched to Easy Grammar. They have both done very well on testing and in college classes, so for us it was a good fit and good prep for college. Yvonne in AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendafromtenn Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Good morning, Yvonne! Thanks for the information. I will pass this on to this lady. She had read somewhere that Easy Grammar was not college prep, and she started to worry. So, I wanted to get some infomation from someone who had used it and had success. Thanks bunches!

Anna Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) And if she does go with Easy Grammar, is it strong enough to call it "college prep"? Anyone here have good success with Easy Grammar? EGPlus worked just fine for my two college girls when they were still homeschooling. It's all the grammar my oldest did. She's in her fourth semester of college now and she's been in the Honor's Program since she started there. My youngest who is LD, also did EGPlus and then she finished up with Voyages in English- gr. 7. She probably didn't need Voyages but I put her through it anyway just to give me more assurance. This dd is at CC currently taking English Comp II and her teacher is well impressed with her grammar/writing skills.

Tiramisu Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Easy Grammar now has a high school program. I'm considering this because it's been such a success with my dd13 who didn't do well with the 1950's Voyages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Wow, I will be sure to pass on your information too! I forgot to mention that it was Easy Grammar Plus that my kids ended with before going on to college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda:001_smile: I would never recommend R&S for people who only wanted *grammar,* as it is much more comprehensive than that. I would call R&S's English series "college prep." But grammar is just...grammar. The important thing is to be able to write well, yes? In our family, EG was enough. Someone who also needed composition would either have to use an additional product, or go with a more comprehensive English course, like R&S.
