BarbinTN Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I am forever looking for "home" in regards to grammar. I found our history "home" last year in Sonlight. I have used 3 levels of R&S English (finishing 4 now). I am getting ready to start my boys (2nd and 3rd) in some type of grammar soon however I keep looking for "something". I researched EG and was sold on it until a friend's college graduate said he was not prepared adequately for english in college. I have since been reading about AG. Is this enough grammar???? Is there anyone who has used this approach LATER and not done intensive grammar study all through school? I am doing copywork with the boys now and plan to start IEW across the board next year. Any thoughts about AG? I do LOVE in the video that she says GRAMMAR IS GRAMMAR and not 6th grade or 7th grade grammar. That statement alone attracts me to it.

StaceyinLA Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I wouldn't use it with children as young as yours. Are you looking at the junior AG? I used R&S for a couple of years, but wanted to switch to a straight grammar program and use something different for writing. I picked AG and have been very pleased. I'm using it with 7th 10th/11th graders. My 9th grader and her bf that I'm teaching are using EG. My 9th grader had a tougher time with AG than her siblings. She is a very auditory learner, and AG was TOO much tedious detail for her. Though EG is still a workbook, it's a lot more to the point. We are going to be using IEW as well for writing so I will add "The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation," to the mix if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbinTN Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks Stacey, I was going to use it with my upcoming 6th grader and "plan" for it for my 2 boys. I just don't want to do grammar with them (2nd/3rd next year) until it is necessary. I have never understood the point of doing it from the beginning unless it does in fact take 12 years to cover it ALL.
