I'm so glad I watched this video! I have used and looked at so many language arts programs but couldn't find one that would fit my dyslexic, adhd student.. I was piecing together so many books to try and get what we needed out of the curriculum. I'm definitely ordering their grammar, writing and spelling program. It looks like just what we need!!
I'm so glad this helped! Here is my Homeschool Curriculum Playlist. There are some Do a Lesson with us videos and flip through videos you may also find helpful. th-cam.com/play/PLzgic_nfcIhFmoem5fWp4B38sIhtpzmWK.html Please let me know if you have any questions. 😊
Thank you for sharing that not all curriculum will work for multiple kids. We've gone through 3 math curriculums and the 3rd one has been the best overall. I definitely want to look into that Grammer curriculum once my son starts getting into that more.
Winning with With Writing looks so interesting. I love it when we understand that what used to work before may no longer work in the present time so glad you exercised wisdom to make the necessary changes in your homeschool.
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Kayson Canaan thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Thank you for this. I have been looking into this program but was worried about this, we are using Christian Light and used to repition and spiral type of material. I do want to continue to see what else is out there but glad to come across this review before I purchased.
Youbare so welcome! I have several other curriculum videos that you may find helpful. If you have time will you play this playlist overnight. I'm getting there. Homeschool Curriculums: th-cam.com/play/PLzgic_nfcIhFmoem5fWp4B38sIhtpzmWK.html
I just want to mention that in this comparison you are comparing my fathers world writing level A meant for 4th graders to writing essays which is more on a middle school level. I don’t know what grades your children are in but I do know that I do not expect a 4th grader to be writing 5-7 paragraphs by the end of the week.
Thanks for the comment. I do not expect my child to do that either, but I expect them to be able to write a paragraph. My oldest will be a 10 grader and my youngest will be in 4th. In 3rd grade, she was taught the fundamentals to write a paragraph and in 4th she will start learning the fundamentals to write an essay. So by the time she is in middle school she will have a strong foundation of knowledge on how to organize her thoughts and facts for write an essay.
Looked like a smart switch. The writing curriculum you switched to was like how I learned it in school and it made sense. Writing seems much easier when organized. I'm trying to pick out stuff for my ADHD kids. How did your year go? Happy with the switch?
Wow! Thank you for this review. This is exactly what I was looking for. I agree with you that the gentle approach of MFW language arts is not enough exposure. I needed more for my son’s learning style as well. 🩵
Aw shucks sorry it didn’t work out for your I’m doing MFW K this year.. I’m worried that this may be us too.. /: do you still use MFW such as their bible or science?
Yes, I still use MFW for Bible, Science, and History. I love MFW Curriculum. You will not have to worry about the Language Arts until 2nd grade. 😊 This fall will be my 8th year using MFW.
I will have a 2nd grader this year and I will be using Growing with Grammar, Soaring with Spelling, and Winning with Writing. I will do videos on them later this year. I used Growing with Grammar Level 1 with my 1st grader last year. Here are those videos if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/-ccbwpV18BU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/U61NZGvHj7o/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps. 😊

You are welcome! Got to find what works.
Winning with With Writing looks so interesting. I love it when we understand that what used to work before may no longer work in the present time so glad you exercised wisdom to make the necessary changes in your homeschool.
We love Winning with Writing!

@Kayson Canaan It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
This is a good comparison of the programs. It is great you can be flexible in curriculum choices. Awesome!!
Thanks!😎
Do you have a video showing how to schedule Growing With Grammar and Winning With Writing? Thank you!

We've been with MFW for seven years. We ditched MFW LA back in 2nd grade. 👍 I could see it wasn't going to be a good fit for us.
We love MFW! It is so important to know when to stop using a curriculum that does not work.

Wow! That would be a little frustrating to have so much time between each concept but then relate back to it? Great comparison.
It was frustrating. Thanks 😊

So happy I switched! Still using it today.
It would be so hard to remember what you had worked on before. Winning with Writing looks great.
We are loving it and it is working great for us. 😊
I was planning to use grade 2 alongside another program. Does it review in the next levels?
I would not call it a review. It goes over information very briefly.
@@RussellsLovingLife ok thank you. I had First language lessons but the repetition was excessive. And this isn't enough. Lol. I need a in-between. 😊
We love the growing with Grammar! I'm currently using it with my first grader and I have used it for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and now 6th.
Wow! Thank you for this review. This is exactly what I was looking for. I agree with you that the gentle approach of MFW language arts is not enough exposure. I needed more for my son’s learning style as well. 🩵
Thanks for your encouraging words!
