partyof5 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We are brand new to CW, but already we're finding R&S English works well, and it's what we were using before CW. I had reserached here and found CW paired with various grammar programs successfully, though CW authors recommend Harvey's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhondaM. Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Acquiring more information!!!:tongue_smilie: I've used R&S grammar all along and I hope it continues ot be enough as we begin CW Diogenes Maxim this fall. We are only halfway through R&S 6..but I have Harvey's as a back up if I need it. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula in PA Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We are using GWG3 this year with Aesop A and will continue to use GWG next year. I haven't decided whether we will use it with Homer or switch to Harvey's. But we will use something because my dd loves grammar. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Acquiring more information!!!:tongue_smilie: Kathy, Can I ask, why are you asking? :) If you would prefer to skip the CW grammar then you can easily use any program that covers the parts of speech. I used JAG, but R&S is probably the most popular. But on the other hand if you are thinking you need to supplement CW...well it tends to have a pretty high volume of work. It isn't that difficult there is just a lot of it, so I don't think you will need another program. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in MO Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If you are using Classical Writing with LCC, depending upon the age of your child, you may not need to add any grammar program at all. Otherwise, I would recommend R&S grammar or another grammar program with which you're familiar (we used Abeka) and then you could just do the CW grammar exercises lightly, if that makes sense. If you're coming CW with Latin (a la LCC) then your child should get plenty of grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 We bought the workbooks for the exercises. My kids are 9th and 7th grade and have completed ABeka LA programs through 7th grade. It's been a great experience with little or no complaining from the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIN Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Heather, I'm asking b/c I wonder if I need Rod and Staff or if CW's grammar is enough. It does seem like a lot of work on it's own, without R&S. And, we're doing Latina Christiana next year too. I don't want to drown myself b/c I'm also adding my 3rd son in the fall. There are just too many choices and decisions!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are just too many choices and decisions!!! :) I would do one of the three. :D The problem I had with CW grammar, being I am no grammar buff, is that it will give the answers for all the main work, but then it will also say something like: Review pronouns by having the child find all pronouns in the model. It won't have the answers to the review. Then I had to go in and either figure out which pronouns functioned as adverbs, or just make it an exercises in remembering pronouns and have my kiddos mark it regardless of how it was functioning in the sentence. Given how weak I am in grammar I felt the need for more support and moved over to JAG. Now if I were in your shoes I think I would use LC (or is it LCC?) as a base and just use the main CW grammar if you felt like your child needs more work. If they are doing fine with LC just drop the CW grammar totally. Either way you should be able to ignore the CW review and the problems I had.
