Preparing and English 2?

Hi all,

I started my dd who is doing Preparing with English 2 because that's the book I had. But I was just looking through the LA boxes for Preparing and the next guide, CTC. English 2 seems very behind. Just wondering if I should skip 2 and move my dd to English 3 sooner? She is 10 and 4th grade. TIA.

I would move up to English 3. #2 is very basic.

Yes, English 3 for 4th grade would be ideal. We are using Preparing and R&S 3 now ourselves. I will say that I'm constantly amazed at how much is jam packed into Rod and Staff Grammar. Today, my dd 10 was diagramming a 2 part subject, verb, direct object, adverb, and adjective. We are getting toward the end of Level 3 and it really has taught these concepts painlessly.

We started last year with HOD and my oldest had not had any formal grammar before that time. She started in Preparing. She completed English 3 with no probably. It is a very good level and I think your dd would be much better placed in this level.

Oh, thanks so much ladies! I will definitely be moving her up to English 3 as soon as possible then. I have to say that English 2 does feel very simplistic for her age right now. My ds was younger when I did it with him. Anyway, thanks again! :)

2 and 3 are not terribly different in difficulty. I would move her up just to keep it on the level that's in the guide.
