I do really love they how anticipate the questions that will come up! Perfect resource for someone that isn't confident in teaching Grammar and such simple small daily chunks for the kids👏👏
I absolutely LOVE Fix-it Grammar! I teach it at our co-op and several of my kids are finally all old enough to do it together! I’m planning on using it in our Morning Basket next year.
We have used Fix It Grammar in the past year--we stopped using it with the older one just because she's really too advanced (we were attempting to make it a family subject...) but my mom has finished the first two books with my youngest sister now. Being able to print the student pages multiple times is so helpful!
My oldest is doing Fix It Grammar for Robin Hood this year. He actually really enjoys it! I actually think I want to do this during morning time with all the kiddos next year. Obviously my first grader won't have to participate. Now that I've seen my middle schooler work through it himself, I'm pretty sure I'd actually enjoy "teaching" it. Usually I'm not a lecture/interactive style teacher, but these are short lessons.
I will actually be having a video with my sons full curriculum picks for next year coming out the first full week in May. This current year though we are using All about spelling, All about reading level 4, and IEW writting in addition to fix it grammar for LA
Wow! You homeschooling 6?!?! That's so amazing! I have 1 child and feeling very overwhelmed. Lol. Im excited to watch more of your content!😍 Thanks so much for sharing this!
Hi, I saw your video yesterday about Fix It, Grammar. I'm planning ahead for the next school year. We have switched every year for our grammar. I like the concept, but can a child really learn the grammar principles by only doing one sentence per lesson? Are there supplemental pages for each lesson? What do you do for writing? I'm looking into this curriculum for my 4th grade and letting him try it out before I switch all of my children.
Yes I find they learn their grammar better this way because there not just memorizing facts they are applying it. The company also puts out Grammar flash cards with the different concepts taught and we will review those from time to time but other then that we don’t supplement. We use IEW’s Structure & Style for writing and love it too.
I have several 3rd graders in my Co-op class and they are doing wonderfully! With the first book I think you could definitely stretch it to 2nd grade if they are pretty solid in handwriting, reading, and basic grammar. If anything you could assist the younger ones.
I do but it only takes a few minutes. Some people check it at the end of the week but I prefer to do a quick check daily so they don’t continue to make the same mistakes
Hey! Curious if you think Grammar Galaxy would work well alongside Fix It Grammar? Also, in terms of Fix it Grammar, is it paramount to start at book one? My son needs 6th grade level curriculum. I am afraid book 1 will be terribly boring. Thanks for any input you can provide.
I definitely think you could use both curriculums side by side. As far as where to start I would suggest asking the IEW customer care team. They are extra helpful and can help you pinpoint the exact level that is best for your child.
Thanks for the review. We are about to start this curriculum. I noticed that it said to double space. Do they mean between sentences and do you think it’s necessary?
Is FIG something I can use while also still teaching reading? My son is 7 and a decent reader but were still doing our reading curriculum so He probably wouldn't be able to do much independently.. He also doesn't enjoy handwriting. I don't want to overwhelm him but he's also interested in making up stories.
That sounds like a great language arts selection for your child. When is comes to” will it be enough?” I would suggest double checking your states homeschool laws at HSLDA.org as many states have specific requirements for highschool.
That’s completely up to you! I use grammar Galaxy with some of my kids and this for one of my other kids just based on what they need. I waited to start him on this until his reading and writing were strong enough that he would be able to focus on the grammar aspect. Hope this helps.
@@LifeintheMundane Thank you. TGATB LA works great for my daughter, but I already know it will not be a good fit for my younger son, so I am looking at options for him. I downloaded the GG sample based on the video you had posted for it previously.
Ha-ha yeah that happened around here a lot before I found this one. I honestly don't mind if they do a combination of Alexa and dictionary because both are valid and useful for actual use in every day life, I just didn't like when they only used Alexa.
This is my 11 year olds favorite book. He came out of public school with grammar gaps and this has been a blessing.
I’m so glad to hear that.
I do really love they how anticipate the questions that will come up! Perfect resource for someone that isn't confident in teaching Grammar and such simple small daily chunks for the kids👏👏
Yes I agree.
I was looking into using Fix it Grammar already... but this answered all my questions I had! Def ordering!
Yeah I’m glad it helped answer your questions

OMG great review, so much good information!
Glad it was helpful
UR REVIEW IS AWSOME
Thank you
u should review THE KING'S GRAMMAR
My oldest is doing Fix It Grammar for Robin Hood this year. He actually really enjoys it! I actually think I want to do this during morning time with all the kiddos next year.

Yes they are so short and sweet. We really like it and we are starting Robin Hood in the fall!
I appreciate your reviews SO much! Can’t wait to use Fix It Grammar next year!
So happy it helped
Always wanted to hear all about the “fix it” !! Thanks for sharing friend!
You’re welcome
This video was fantastic, thank you for the comprehensive look and example of application.
So glad it was helpful
I am so intrigued by this curriculum.
It has been great for my son.
Yes we struggle at times with English grammar 😄😀 thanks for sharing the features and letting us know about it!
Thanks for watching.
Hey! Here watching and supporting! 😍Really wanting to start homeschooling my daughter
Awesome! Thank you!
The card idea is awesome! I am looking into adding it for next school year.
Awesome I hope this helps in some way.
We LOVE Fix It Grammar!!
❤️
Great, thanks its good to see how it works.
Happy to share
This video is so timely. I have my eye on this program for this upcoming school year
Oh good I’m so glad it’s helpful.
We’ve used Structure and Style in the past. It sounds similar without the writing component.
Yes. We are starting structure and style in fall and will do the second book of fix it grammar along side that
What I love this card idea!!!!!
I know I was so excited when that mom shared it on the FB support page.
Love IEW! Curious what else do you use to create a complete LA curriculum with FIG for your son?
I will actually be having a video with my sons full curriculum picks for next year coming out the first full week in May. This current year though we are using All about spelling, All about reading level 4, and IEW writting in addition to fix it grammar for LA
That was very helpful! Thank you
Yeah! Glad it could help.
Wow! You homeschooling 6?!?! That's so amazing! I have 1 child and feeling very overwhelmed. Lol. Im excited to watch more of your content!😍 Thanks so much for sharing this!
It can feel overwhelming at first no matter how many kids you homeschool but eventually it will become your new normal and you will feel like a pro!
Have you used First Language Lessons? How does it compare to Fix It? Thanks for your insight!
I have not. I’m sorry

Great review! Do you know if it includes grammar that we might use when speaking, such as the difference between when to use who vs. whom?
What age or grade level would you recommend starting Fit It with???
4th grade and up is their recommendation but we waited till 5th grade.
I have several 3rd graders in my Co-op class and they are doing wonderfully! With the first book I think you could definitely stretch it to 2nd grade if they are pretty solid in handwriting, reading, and basic grammar. If anything you could assist the younger ones.
@@PenniesAndSalt That is great feedback so helpful Megan
Doing it in a group do you recommend student books for everyone or just the older child. I will be doing this with a 2nd and 5th grader
If your doing it as a group you could just do it on the the board together and just have them copy from there if you wanted to
Do you adjust any for your struggling children?
Yes, I either wait till they are older to start or for certain kids I have made it something we work on together
We use it and love it with a few of my kids! Do you check their work and correct their work every single day?
I do but it only takes a few minutes. Some people check it at the end of the week but I prefer to do a quick check daily so they don’t continue to make the same mistakes
@@LifeintheMundane makes sense. Thank-you!!
We used FIG alone with my older, now are switching to structure & style....have you used that part of IEW?
We are starting structure and style in the fall.

Thanks for the review. We are about to start this curriculum. I noticed that it said to double space. Do they mean between sentences and do you think it’s necessary?
So as you write you skip every other line on the notebook paper. It helps a lot if they need to make edits.
So is there any testing that happens? Sorry if I missed that
There is not
Is FIG something I can use while also still teaching reading? My son is 7 and a decent reader but were still doing our reading curriculum so He probably wouldn't be able to do much independently.. He also doesn't enjoy handwriting. I don't want to overwhelm him but he's also interested in making up stories.
I personally would hold off another couple of years it starts out gentle but Ramos up quickly. I would hate to overwhelm him.
@@LifeintheMundane thank u so much. I het in a "gotta do more" staye of mind add d think we need all the things!
I am interested in this curriculum
It’s so good
If I did this with my 9th grader along side Structure and Style and spelling would that be enough??
That sounds like a great language arts selection for your child. When is comes to” will it be enough?” I would suggest double checking your states homeschool laws at HSLDA.org as many states have specific requirements for highschool.
@@LifeintheMundane I’m in CA. All it says on the state requirements is, “3 years of English.” It’s so vague ... 🤷🏻♀️
You should review THE KING'S GRAMMAR book
Thanks, I will have to look into it.
Hello what do you think about the glossary ? It is terrible for me it is boring and heavy we understand nothing with it
The glossary is only meant to be used to reference things that your child may need a reminder about so we don’t use it to terribly often.
@@LifeintheMundane thanks ..do you know if there is another grammar curriculum more fun for kids something new maybe ?
@@lyannadeforwarden5080 Yes Grammar Galaxy th-cam.com/video/1FQJbezbUrg/w-d-xo.html
I’m back!!
Love you girl.
Is there an age/grade that you switch over to this from Grammar Galaxy?
That’s completely up to you! I use grammar Galaxy with some of my kids and this for one of my other kids just based on what they need. I waited to start him on this until his reading and writing were strong enough that he would be able to focus on the grammar aspect. Hope this helps.

we get confused with some of these lessons we have this book the first one but it can be confusing =(
Do you have the newer edition or the older one that I’m showing here in this video?
I should of got that dictionary. I keep catching them using Alexa!
Ha-ha yeah that happened around here a lot before I found this one. I honestly don't mind if they do a combination of Alexa and dictionary because both are valid and useful for actual use in every day life, I just didn't like when they only used Alexa.
