We do Robinson Curriculum but add bible, poetry and recitation. for us our writing is our fun school exploration time. RC Curriculum is one purchase, covers all grades k-12 with one purchase and can use for everyone at any age and level, can use multiple times over for all your children. You do your own writing and math. Curriculum is all books k-12, everything comes from books and you get digital copy good to print or e-reader for all grades with one purchase then u can add your own favorite books in as you please. Includes spelling, vocab and grammar and all your subjects like history, science, literature, geography and so on. All books.
We supplement with gentle grammar by "mom delights" I only assign it a few times a week and my kids do it daily because they want to. Unfortunately my oldest will be sad that she's in the last gentle grammar book so I'm looking for another workbook she might like. My youngest will start this next year. RC has grammar from the book list but we only use it when we are reading those books but you can work through all of them if you wanted we just don't.
Thank you for this flip through. I am currently using the mcguffey readers for LA with my k and 1st and I want to incorporate language lessons for today. I like that its only 3 days a week for 20 mins. Short and sweet.
Yea we have all our subjects and just need writing... We enjoy not having everything together because we tie it together ourselves. If we read a book we pull topics from the reading to explore. When everything is packaged up together we don't have freedom to do our own thing. All our grammar, vocab and spelling comes from our reading list and all our subjects come from our reading list. So writing can't include everything or we get bogged down since we already have everything covered in reading. Kids might want to research some animal mentioned in a book or once we did syrup and got lots of books on syrup and wrote about syrup. One month my daughter didn't want to do anything except write about minerals and rocks so I let her. And everyday she would find something else interesting about minerals and just kept writing. But other times we need the building of skills or inspirational if we don't have it.
I'm thinking about using the MFW Language Arts next year with Writing With Ease for my kids who will be in 3rd, 4th, and 5th. (I would switch this year if I had the funds lol.) This is my first year and we've been using some basic evan moor language arts, but I don't feel like it's thorough enough without spending a fortune on every component to make it complete! I like that I won't need to buy 3 different teacher's manuals and 3 different workbooks 😵 and it seems much more gentle and thorough..
I’m making the switch for the same reason. I’m curious where you’d suggest moving to. We finished level 4 of tgtb and he did ok with the grammar but felt the writing lacked so we did start with writing a bit what should we start with for llft? I bought 4 and then got 5 because I couldn’t decide.

I would love to see a more detailed review of their writing. I've searched youtube for videos on it, and I haven't been able to find anything.
Noted!

Oh, that's awesome. I love the idea of letting kids choose their own writing topics.

I would probably start with Level 4. Some things may be review, but the lessons are so short and easy and I don't think review is a bad thing!
Do you have an updated video on how things are going?
I will soon!
American Heritage Girls? We're looking into that this year 🥰
I've looked into them, as well! Looks like a good program.
Are you enjoying My Fathers World Language Arts this year?
Yes! We are loving it.
