Rhonda in TX Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm looking at some lit guides for next year for my will-be 6th and 7th graders (like Progeny Press). I'm trying to decide how many to do. Right now, I'm thinking 3 over the course of the year. Does that sound about right? We'll be using SL, which covers comprehension questions, but I want to do a few books more in-depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineFarmMom Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 We use MFW, and they recommend 2 per year. It fits in nicely with their whole language arts program, allowing time for grammar, writing, other reading (we read a lot this year), spelling, copywork & dictation. Dd is finishing her 8th grade year, and we did 2 Lit guides this year. We could easily have thrown in one more. I plan to have her do one this summer. I will say, though, that since she is moving towards high school, the middle school lit guides have gotten pretty easy for her, so that might be partly why she can blow through them. I think a lot of it will also depend on how heavy the rest of your LA program would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy in ME Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am also planning on two for next year with MFW for my 7th grader. The ones I have look pretty in-depth. I don't want him to have to dissect every book he reads next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have two picked out, but one is pretty short. I'll see if I can add another, but won't stress if I can't find one I like. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimnactmom Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 but I think 2 would be fine. IMHO, one guide would be falling short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicMom Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I think two would be fine. Four per year is required for high-school credit. One per semester would be just right for the Jr. High grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
