Preparing and English 2?

Post by Charika30 » Tue Jan 06, 2015 3:09 pm

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.
Currently:
dd 16 AH1 -bits & pieces (previously used Bigger, Preparing, CtC, RtR, Rev, MMtM, WG, WH)
dd 12 REV (previously used LHTH, LHfHG, Beyond, Bigger, Preparing, CtC, & RtR)

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.
