      @karlacanon2507 Месяц назад

      It IS a giant book! I typically recommend that students do it over two years. We did complete it in one school year, but I counted his writing in the student notebook as his LA until after Christmas, so that gave him more time to work on it. He also watched the experiments being done on the additional video resource and didn't actually perform them himself, and that was a huge time-saver. He also did some of the questions orally when it started taking too long. With those modifications he got through it in a year but did put in a huge chunk of time each day into science!

      Sounds good! I do want to do an IEW update! That being said, I think it's pretty normal for kids, particularly boys, to write as efficiently as possible. I find as they get into the later lessons, and have more things they need to include in their checklist, that helps force them to use more words and vary their sentence patterns.

    Hi! Thank you for this video. It’s one of the best I’ve seen on AAR. I have a slightly older struggling reader who doesn’t like babyish things. Would you say this program was very effective even without using much of the activity pages?

    • @karlacanon2507
      @karlacanon2507 4 месяца назад

      Yes!! I thought this program was great for older kids when modified by leaving out the majority of the activity pages. When I did it with one of my kids who was on the older end, we mostly stuck to doing the lesson, and doing the activity pages where the student reads through the lists of words. We also did the word flashcards and read the stories in the readers. That worked well for us and I find this program is less babyish than lots of the ones out there!

She’s a great reader! Next year I think I’ll just skip sssA2 and just put her directly w sss1b which is for middle school. The stories will be more challenging but she’ll have mastered the steps to writing a great papers. I hope that helps! It’s totally worth it! Also, fix it grammar is awesome. They go together

      Basic parts of speech are woven into the lessons. Other than that it is a writing curriculum more than grammar. That being said, when my kids were young, it was enough for us, and we just focused on writing in complete sentences, punctuation, etc. Doing more formal grammar instruction when they were older worked well for us!
