Growing with grammar?

Why isn't this one of Cathy Duffy's top 100 picks? Everyone seems to love it!

[Amy from WT]

The only reason I can think of is that it might be because it's tough to get Cathy to review new curricula now. Every time I check her website for my own product, it says she is not accepting new products for review. So she might be picking and choosing curricula herself to review, as she becomes aware of them herself.

Cathy, if you can hear this, review Growing With Grammar! It's terrific!

I actually contacted Cathy last year about reviewing Growing With Grammar. She said that she is so busy that she would rather wait until I'm finished with the series.

I remember reading somewhere that one of the criteria for her top 100 was that the series be complete. Since GWG is not, I don't think it would have been considered.

My 9 year old son has been doing GWG since September, and we're 1/2 way through the book.

I don't teach the GWG lessons, unless he runs into some difficulty. He's been able to connect the lessons from GWG into the writing dictations/narrations we've been doing in History and Science.

I'm thrilled with GWG -- ds enjoys the lessons with no belly-aching, he's getting the practice he needs and most importantly, he's connecting the grammar rules/lessons into his writing.

I hear him mumbling under his breath -- apostrophe or just an s . . . plural or possessive? GWG has been my compromise . . . I don't want to grammar my littles into the ground, but I think grammar needs to be studied to some level of mastery as children.

It's been one of my favourites picks for this year, no question.

Cheerio, T

Wonderful, Sweetpeach! To me, that's just as good as a Cathy Duffy review...maybe better since you're actually using it.
