HOMESCHOOL LANGUAGE ARTS- Highschool, middle school, elementary| how to get there 

This was so helpful and reassuring! I am also a fellow numbers lover 🧡.

Thank you for sharing your story. Considering IEW for my 10 year old for next school year. Using Writing and Rhetoric this year and we love the gentle approach thi at it offers for this year!😊

Answer to my prayer is your video.

I haven’t been doing this all that long. But I can tell a huge difference in my boys grammar and writing once they started reading good books. It’s like good grammar and writing in, good grammar and writing out. Lol

Language arts has been a struggle for me, We just started homeschooling this year and I have already been through TGTB language arts,christian light, and IEW. I didnt like those for my 11 yo son. Right now we are using daily grams and when he seems to have trouble with a grammatical concept then we go into it further with the easy grammar workbook. Thats been useful so as to not do repetitive stuff he already knows. We also started LLATL and he seems to like that, but I dont like it as a stand alone. Im an old school and feel he needs separate writing and grammar. I just started EIW writing program. I like it because it tailors the grammar to what is useful for writing. I just wish language arts was easier to design. I wish I didnt have to use so many different resources but grammar and writing are technically different subjects. I did buy grammar for the well-trained mind but havent started it because it is a very in depth grammar course and I am not sure if my son needs that. So I am trying to think about plans to continue on and for next year but I just dont know what to do!! Love your videos and advice as always.

We have used the old and new versions of IEW. My girls both like the nee version better. I have also use the IEW writing and have also taken it slower. I love it! I am not a stronger writer and also kind of dread it but finding tools to help is a blessing.

Hello, I’m wondering how long is your typical homeschool day? Do you do everything scheduled in the HOD guides? I need some advice. We have been using HOD for 7 years, this would be our 8th year, but our days are very long. I also feel like I have kind of neglected math and language arts. We do do them, but not like we should have been. I want to focus more on those two things this year, but I feel like we just don’t have enough time in our day. How do you manage it all? Any advice? Thanks in advance!
