PLL and ILL for LA's?
Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 11:47 am
I was wondering if anyone used PLL and/or ILL for LA's instead of Rod and Staff? I only ask bc I have PLL and ILL! 
I was looking through the cirriculum and saw that it used many of the things that is done in PLL and ILL (dictation, copywork ex...) Would PLL and ILL be repeating to much of the same type of LA work and not enough of the grammer work? Last year I used a differant cirriculum and I did PLL (2nd grade), ILL (4th grade), for 2 days a week and then a cheap grammer workbook for 2 days a week while my DD did Writing Strands on her own due every Friday. (She didn't like it bc she didn't like being told what to write, but I told her it was a good lesson in writing, following directions and submition.)
