If we're behind on R&S 2...

Post by annaz » Wed May 19, 2010 10:12 am

We used CLE LA this year and it got sort of boring. It's a really good program, but it was too much workbook, because we use their reading program. So we are on Adjectives in R&S Grammar 2 for the sole purpose that we didn't cover them in CLE. If we don't finish the rest of R&S 2, will we be okay to start R&S English 3 in Preparing? I'm skipping things in R&S that we've already done in CLE, so I'd have to look and see what else we've covered in CLE that we haven't in R&S and at this moment it's adjectives.

Is there anything after Adjectives in R&S 2 that we "definitely" can't miss that we'll need to know before starting English 3? CLE was spiral so it's all over the place. And I know that R&S is mastery, but I'm not sure what will be reviewed in 3 that we'll be okay with that we didn't hit on in 2, because there's enough info in 3 to pick it up. Does that make sense?

We've done some writing (from BJU), nouns, singular/plural nouns, verbs, pronouns, alphabetizing, the(e)/the, an/a, sentence, phrase... and now we're working on adjectives. Will we be lost in English 3?

I know lots of moms that never do R&S 2 and just pick it up at 3. I think that would be fine, IMO. :D

I wouldn't want to come into R & S 4 without a quite complete thorough beginning study of grammar, but coming into R & S 3 is a different story. I think that you'd be just fine coming into R & S 3 because you have done grammar, albeit not exactly all of the same concepts R & S 2 has done, but still, an introduction to grammar. :D I'd just call it good and start with R & S 3 then! :D I think your sweetie will do fine. :)

I agree that English 3 would be a great place to start! :D It sounds like you've had enough coverage through BJU and CLE to move past Rod and Staff English 2. :D

Blessings,
Carrie

Good! It's depressing when the year begins and we're already behind.
Thanks.
