Classical Writing Aesop: A or B?

[PinkInTheBlue]

I keep reading mixed opinions on other boards and sites; including the Classical Writing message board. I'll be starting a 6th and 4th grader. We've had nearly no actual writing curriculum, other than poking at Writing Strands. We've used R&S grammar since outgrowing FLL.

Would you start with A or B? Thoughts?

Thank you!

I would think B would work for both unless your 4th grader is having a hard time with grammar. Otherwise, expect the 6th grader to work quickly while taking your time with the 4th grader.

HTHs,

Agreed. A covers what is a sentence, types of sentences, punctuation, Nouns, pronouns, verbs...and that is about it. B will quickly review and move on from there.

Thank you both so much! I would have seriously regretted it if I had bought A as I had intended. Both boys know their grammar really well and to recover it again so soon would have been a waste.

B it is.

Thank you!
