I was just talking to Jennifer C. about this, as she has used IEW over the years. She was telling me about how radically she shifted curriculum choices around having 5/6 kids (now 10) and that she had to learn to be practical. Mostly that means totally independent work, but she said some programs that are the most practical "have a steep learning curve for the teacher, but it's worth it," and she was talking about IEW Grammar at that moment. The program is designed for a teacher to teach, one specific level per grade, a little bit each day. She tweaks it by gathering together three children, teaching them all out of one level, and teaching a week's worth at once (30 minutes), which is about four sentences of grammar correction.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054597409182035433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825174029351412249.post-22310481785497285662016-07-13T07:12:40.934-04:002016-07-13T07:12:40.934-04:00I was considering using Fix It Grammar.
