Question about levels for Michael Clay Thompson's LA materials

[EKS]

My 6 yo is highly gifted in the language arts arena. I have been struggling to find something that provides the depth that he craves yet doesn't require an excessive amount of pencil work. The MCT LA materials just crossed my radar and I know they would be perfect for him.

My question is, what do the grade levels mean on the Royal Fireworks website? If they say Grammar Island is for grades 3/4 does that mean regular 3/4 or gifted 3/4?

Thanks!

The early elementary series is OK for younger kids. I'm using it with my 6yo, but I'm in no hurry to mover her into the middle school series.

The grade levels are for gifted kids. We're currently using the middle/high school materials (Magic Lens, Word within the Word, 4Practice, and the poetics book), and they're plenty challenging for my 8th graders.

and loves to write. I'll let you know how it looks when it comes.:001_smile:

It does say for gifted 3rd grade or regular 4th grade.

My L/A gifted guy loved Grammar Island at 6 years-old. We look forward to grammar town in the fall.

She easily reads them and I give her some examples to work on a whiteboard to make sure she understands them.

We have Grammar Island and like it, however, the teacher's edition is a huge waste of money. It's almost an exact duplicate of the student book.
