I've vaguely looked at it but wasn't sure that it was right age-wise or would work for ds and to be honest, was put off by the price. Having said that, am reconsidering, probably for next year, as I have heard some recommendations.DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-71283418659002101072011-01-08T15:25:19.932+00:002011-01-08T15:25:19.932+00:00I need to remember the book series we used I will ...I need to remember the book series we used I will ask the children we did try a different one at one point that they enjoyed but for the life of me I can't think of the name. We used Weaver for the main context of homeschool and the English is worked right in the program and Grammar is found in 2 separate books. In the upper grades of the Weaver program they write a lot of essays I found the essay writing to be very helpful particularly because there is a specific format you follow for this. If I find out that book series I will pass on the name to you. I also used the website Currclick.com to buy smaller unti studies if I found I needed to change it up a bit. They even have a free section on their website. I also have a huge file of classic literature study guides to go along with the book maybe I could email you one and you could see if that might be useful? if your interested just send me an email heatheradrianwatts@gmail.com ~Good luck with your schooling Love HeatherLife In a Little Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956205013654044439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-73997069854596379692011-01-08T04:17:16.900+00:002011-01-08T04:17:16.900+00:00Hi!

(I appreciate your comments.) <br /><br />I teach writing at a very small private school, where we also use Andrew Pudewa's program. I really like how he stresses to keep 'hands off content' but 'hands on structure.' Something we've found is that if the students enjoy the topics they're writing about, they are more eager to write. <br /><br />Nice to 'meet' you! :-)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055662914215831204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-66024919490055153432011-01-08T01:41:33.841+00:002011-01-08T01:41:33.841+00:00Hi Anne,

Sooooo, we began the blog Gardening For My Family. Ben loved reading old books, so we had to get him to stop writing like GA Henty! He seemed to write like the author he was reading the most! We also encouraged him to write editorials for our newspaper when a topic stirred his interest. Having said all that.....I think it is tough teaching writing, but oh so necessary!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786295343099939601noreply@blogger.com
