Top English / Grammar Homeschool Curriculum Picks

Your reviews are very helpful and informative, thank you for that!

I’ve been using Write Shop to help motivate and encourage my kiddos, but I’m considering switching to something different. These review videos are always helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the review ! Very helpful

Thank you so much for sharing! I have been struggling to find a language curriculum that works for my kids, i think i will try the fix it.

I have been watching several of your videos over the last couple of days and just wanted to let you know that you have been extremely helpful. Thank you!!

I love IEW Grammar too My son grasp it so well he does all the weeks in one day.

We love abeka I've used it for all 5 so far... but am looking at switching it up for the older kids! Thank you for your trusted input :)

Thank you so much for publishing this. I am not planning on homeschooling my children technically, but we live in Italy (American mom, Italian dad). I want to put them in the Italian public schools, but I know that their English education will be geared for non-native speakers. I don't want that for them. I want them to be able to speak, read, and write in English at grade-level so I plan on homeschooling them only when it comes to English. The only thing is I have no idea where to start! This video alone has been a lifesaver. My son is 4 so we are only on tracing letters for now, but now I have a way forward for when he enters kindergarten and grade school. I've already bookmarked all of the websites. I will probably mail the books to my mom (in the States) and then take them back with me whenever I visit. :) Thank you so much for the great content!

Great video! I agree with you on Abeka and BJU. I love Abeka Language for the early elementary years and then am liking BJU better for upper elementary. I also am finding that BJU English for middle school is not a great fit for us. We LOVE Fix It Grammar (and all IEW curriculum). One thing my middle school child is enjoying is BJU literature.

You sold me on Fix It Grammar for my rising 6th grader. I'm so tired of Abek a. 😁 Thanks so much for this review.

I love Fix It Grammar!! Trying to decide for my younger kids how long to do Logic of English for. Are you familiar with it? For beginning reading we use Logic of English until level D. Just unsure if I should stop it sooner before starting with Fix It Grammar. Any advice?

I’m going to switch from bju to fix it grammar for my 6th grader. I’m getting tired of the big long worksheets!!

We will be starting Fix-It Grammar next school year. We are moving over from Growing with Grammar. I will have an 8th grader and a 6th grader using Fix-It. I chose to start both with Nose Tree being we are new to the program. I saw that you started your kiddo's on Nose Tree as well and was wondering how quickly your older children moved through the books? Did they end up completely Nose Tree and Robin Hood in one year? Thanks!

Great video, thanks! Which levels would you recommend for high schoolers that haven't used this curriculum before?

Hi, great video! I will have a 2nd and a 3rd grader next school year. They are both somewhat advanced. My now 1st grader tested into 3rd grade English/Language Arts and even higher for reading. They are both on the same reading/comprehension and LA level right now. I am considering using IEW writing intensive A and IEW Fix it for both kids next year. Do you think it would be too difficult for an advanced 2nd grader?

I watched your Fix It Grammar review from 2016 and I know you said you doubled up on lessons because your students were older. I'm doing the same with my junior highers this year and will move on to Robin Hood about halfway through the year. I'm curious to know whether you doubled up on lessons with Robin Hood or was it better to do one day at a time by then?

Regarding Fix It Grammar, do you find that your kiddos are retaining what they are learning? I’m currently using Growing with Gammar and concerned my son is not retaining what he is learning.

Have you tried The Good And The Beautiful? I was wondering what you thought about the curriculum?

Would I need to use a wiring and reading curriculum alongside this? Are there any suggestions other than IEW? Just a mama on a budget with 5 littles lol

For Abeka 1st grade - do you think the Language 1 would be good enough for english without adding the Letters and Sounds? We will be doing All About Reading 2 as well.
