This will be Princess E's last week with Easy Grammar. Neither one of us is particularly excited about it. I cannot totally figure it out and can see that it will not work for her sister down the road. So I am going to sell it and purchased Growing With Grammar. I bought Grade 4, plus I bought the Grade 1 and 2 combo book for Princess S. She will finish her Climbing book at the end of January and I really think she will benefit from the way this book is set up. She will have to do two lessons a day in order to come even close to finishing by the end of the year. But, the majority of it will be review for her. I'm thinking about having her slip the page into a page protector and writing on it with a dry erase marker. Then her next sister in line can use it too. However, her math book from last year had the same thing and she was constantly losing the markers, so that may not be the best option for her after all.
Blessings.
