Using R&S level 2 grammer with Beyond?

Post by TammyTE » Tue Jan 11, 2011 11:13 pm

I am planning to do Beyond LHFHG with my 8yog. She reads well so we will also be doing DITHOR. I had planned on doing the R&S level 2 grammer for her. In looking at the pdf I don't see the grammer listed as an option. I do see it in the Bigger pdf.

I'm thinking it should be fine to just go at whatever pace we go. right?

Then when she does Bigger we will just do the next level of R&S. I am so unsure of myself sometimes! Please reassure me that all will be okay:)

I think whatever pace you go with the R&S would be fine! We use Beyond as well and it is a joy to use each day. I think you will find the ease of use a great benefit for you! Many people just do the R&S at this level orally instead of having the child write it all down. That is what we do.

Bless you as you begin...trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding...in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.

I'm doing Beyond with my 8yo ds, but substituting the LA and math from Bigger. (I went ahead and bought the BIgger guide, since I knew I'd be using it the next year.) It's been working really well for us. If we had just done Beyond's LA, it wouldn't have been enough for my ds. I love how HOD allows one to tailor the program to meet individual needs. R&S English 2 has been a perfect fit. It's funny ... I didn't know 8yo boys could get excited about nouns, verbs and pronouns, but my ds actually loves it! :) I think a lot has to do with the way R&S teaches. We do a mixture of oral and written and that seems to work well with my ds.

I am doing Beyond with a 6 and 8 yr. old. For ds (8), we do on the level Math, DITHOR, and we did R & S English 2. We both really, really like it. We do a combination of oral and written. We do a 1/3 to 1/2 written, more like a 1/3 most of the time. I did up the Science for ds too, although he joins in on the Beyond Science and loves it. HTH!
