Easy Grammar and Daily Grams question - Do we finish last years or move on?

[Once]

I need to know if I should have my dd finish her Easy Grammar level three or just move on to the next level. She has finished about 2/3 of it and I would like to finish it as I am not sure she has totally mastered it.

We started Rod and Staff last August but at Christmas it became so challenging that I thought it best to move to the drill workbook style to cement the learning so I chose EG. She likes it but I do not want to discourage her.

Anyone ever btdt or have an opinion to share.

I would definitely pick up where you left off , it will be presenting different parts of speech and then a review of all things learned. Sometimes we've taken longer than 1 year to finish.

This always happens to us. What I do is go to the next level, but start the new book in the section where we left off in the old book. It works for us.

I'd finish were you left off. Otherwise you'll miss things. Used to be 1 book for 2 years, so I wouldn't worry about getting behind.

I say move on. The same things are taught in the next book.

I also say I don't see a point in doing Daily Grams and Easy Grammar simultaneously. I'd drop DG; then you could finish EG in a year.

I found that each book (Easy Grammar) stressed a couple of new concepts and teaches those thoroughly. Then in the next book, those topics are considered "taught" and only a quick review is given and a couple of different concepts are then thoroughly taught - and so on. So if your child is quick with grammar and you don't mind teaching the concepts a little on your own...then you "could" just skip to the next book.

Having saying that.....BUt......
One thing I have learned from home schooling is to try not to worry about the grade level or completion of a text within a "school year" and just go with the flow of what my kids are able to do - not because of the calendar or the textbook author's idea of what is a year's worth of work. As a former school teacher, this has been really hard for me to do. But whenever I do it, everyone is happier and learning is quicker and so much more positive! So I'd probably just continue on in the book we left off in!
