Hi, Love your video, very helpful. Would you say the books repeat skills but just build on them? For example, do they still go over nouns etc at each level? If we were starting Evan Moor would we start lower? My sons are going into 5th and we want to brush up without the content being too 'babyish'.Did you just use fundamentals and SS?
Hi, Lisa. Yes, Evan-Moor does a "spiral review" where they review basics and build on them each grade. I have found that if my kids have forgotten a skill (especially those academic vocabulary terms that we only use when we are learning about them (like the word proposition), then we pause and do a quick review. I think the Fundamentals and Skill Sharpeners would be a great combo for Langauge. We would do 8-12 pages of Fundamentals each week, and then a SS unit about every 2-4 weeks (depending on the ages, abilities, interests, etc). I hope that is helpful! Best wishes to you and your boys.
