This was super helpful, Megan! We are brand new to IEW and I will have some of my younger kids start 1 or 2 next school year. I love the bite size chunks! It's perfect for my oldest!
We started Fix It Grammar this year and I just purchased the new level 2 to begin in a month. I didn’t realize all the changes that had been made since I haven’t received it yet. Thank you for sharing this…it was very helpful!
Well, you convinced me! I have been thinking about this new version! My daughter will be third grade next year and was thinking about doing the new Fix It Grammar very slowly. I was thinking of stretching it out over either a school year and a half or two school years. 🤷🏻♀️ We’ll see!
We are new to FIG but will start with book 2. Ordered last night along with the cards. So excited to try it out! I have watched FIG for awhile but the new updates finally sold me! Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love all the updates! I have missed it this year, but I was worried how my dysgraphia kid would do with it the old way it was set up (copying is very hard for him). This new set up is going to be so much better!!!!
So excited about the new and revised version. We did great with the first book and when we moved to the second one it was overwhelming and we ended up dropping it.. I’m excited to try again. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
This looks great. I am looking for more writing and a more gentle grammar for next year. This year we did heavier grammar and not enough writing. Thank you for this video. Off to watch Katie’s.
We have been going back and forth over whether or not to try this and part of the reason we haven't was because we didn't feel like there was an in-between!! I'm so excited that this level is offered now. Also, the cards are a big sell for me. My son and I both have ADHD and things that are very visually pleasing help us. It seems silly to some and some people think we are "stingy" for not using something that isn't "attractively packaged" but if it's aesthetically pleasing (bonus if it's colorful) help us to stay on track and excited about working on school. 😂
I have my eye on this for when my kids are a little older! Would you do a review/flip through of IEW writing curriculum? Your reviews/flip throughs are always so helpful!
Did they update Level 1? I have a 3rd grader ans 5th grader this year. We've done bits of grammar , parts of speech, punctuation,etc throughout the last 2 years. They do well with them but I'd love to have them start with Book 1 so they aren't missing anything.
I'm so glad I found your channel! This was so helpful - as have been all the other videos of yours that I've watched so far. Thank you! I have a strange, totally unrelated question - where did you get your wedding ring? I've noticed you have different colors in different videos - I'm assuming it's rubber? Thank you!
Yes! It’s silicone! I got a pack with 4 colors. After I had my 6th kiddo my real wedding ring never fit again 🤦🏻♀️ I actually really love the silicone since I’m working in the garden, cleaning, etc.
So exciting! I am a bit confused though because my daughter is finishing level 2 which is Robin Hood in the older version and now Robin Hood is level 3. Would I move her onto level 4 or have her redo Robin Hood again at level 3?
Should my daughter (5th grade) use Nose Tree or Town Mouse? She has been using TGTB LA for 2 yrs. and I'm considering this as a supplement, because so many are excited about the curriculum.
If she has a pretty solid understanding of grammar and diagramming that TGTB goes over in its upper levels than she would probably be fine to start with Country Mouse. Or, you could have her start with Nose Tree just to be sure and have her do two days worth (doesn’t take long) each day. That way she has a better understanding of how they approach it in Fix-it Grammar.
We use this and IEW’s structure and style writing program. I also have him do independent reading with literature guides from progeny press so it creates a complete reading/language arts curriculum 😉
I have never used anything from IEW. So, does this take more than a year to work through? If we do this for 3rd grade what would we use for 4th and 5th since Robin Hood seems to be recommended for 6th-8th. Also, if we HAVE NOT done the Nose Tree (level 1) should we do level 1 first? He is a fluent reader, but our main curriculum doesn't do a ton of grammar. It has some, but nothing wild. We use Gather Round.
Do you think its absolutely necessary to use this grammar book alongside IEW's writing program? What would be the drawbacks of not using this with their writing? Thanks
Thanks for sharing this! I had been wondering what the updates looked like. I'm definitely a visual person and this was incredibly helpful! So what other language arts curriculum do you use? Do you use All About Spelling as well as the Theme based writing? I'd love to see videos on the other LA curriculum you use.
6th Grader- Fix-it Grammar, IEW Structure and Style writing program, progeny press reader guides with various assigned chapter books 4th Grader- (has dyslexia) All About Reading, Language Lessons for a Living Education (grammar parts only), IEW Structure and Style. 2nd grader- Language Lessons for Today and The Good and the Beautiful 1st grader- TGTB It changes based on each child’s needs. Next year will look a lot different for my 1st and 2nd grader.
My 2 oldest boys have been doing level 1 of Fix It Grammar for a year and a half now. I love the gentle gradual concept of it. However, my boys are 9 and 11 and my 9 yr old still falls to pieces when he has to rewrite the sentence. I'm wondering if the revised version would help him.
I fear that a couple of my children would do the same .. And i fear it being boring for them since we're doing a project/literature based language arts
Hello! I’m thinking about using this for my soon to be 9 year old. Is this level too hard if we have never done IEW before? He is an excellent reader and knows nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
Level 2 moves at a much quicker pace because it’s reviewing a lot from level 1. The cards are not necessary unless you want to practice extra and use them almost like flash cards.
I liked the exercice in the student book but about the glossary and the lesson I hated them .. the explanation are not clear and it miss of fun, it is old fashion and Boring
Having it directly in the student book to mark up and rewrite is really nice! I like how simple it is.

We are loving Fix It Grammar, can't wait to see what the new books bring to our homeschool!
The cheese on the front is super cute lol!
Thank you so much for this detailed review and flip through.
I can't wait to play the games with the grammar cards!
Looks great, thanks!! I really like the new changes!
I’m so excited about the grammar cards
Nice curriculum! Thank you so much for sharing this flip through!
Yes! I needed this. I ordered it!
I am so intrigued by this curriculum! 😍 just watched Katie's video... I am going to check out the website!
Thank you for this. I’ve been eyeing fix it grammar!
We are using Fix It Grammar The Nose Tree. Love it! Can’t wait to get into the new versions
Thank you, I have been wondering about it for a while.
I had no idea they had a new level of Fix It Grammar! I have been trying to figure out where to fit it in because I loved using it so much last year!
This was my son’s favorite subject. He loved his fix it book
Love the way you explain it.

Can you use the old teachers guide with the new student workbook?
Loved the flip through Megan!
Super helpful!!! I would love to try this.
I have my eye on this for when my kids are a little older! Would you do a review/flip through of IEW writing curriculum? Your reviews/flip throughs are always so helpful!
I am on the fence to get this curriculum, but I was wondering if they have a placement test !
I would love to use Fix it Grammar in our homeschool.
Thanks for the flip through! Have you done a video on IEW as well? I’d love a similar video on that as well if not!
Are there quizzes and tests?
Do you think that doing one page/lesson a day is enough? How do you work it into your schedule?
What ages would you recommend this for? I know that every child is different of course... but do they recommend a certain grade or age?
This looks like a Good grammar curriculum!

No? But they pair well. Some of my kids are currently using it without the writing program.
Now if they would only add in a spot to write the definition as well it would be perfect!

Do you happen to have an IEW coupon code? I'm planning to order Fix it grammar.
Hello! I’m thinking about using this for my soon to be 9 year old. Is this level too hard if we have never done IEW before? He is an excellent reader and knows nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
I would start with Level 1, The Nose Tree! 😉
@@PenniesAndSalt what's are the main differences between the levels? I called a representative and he said level 2 covers everything level 1 does...
@@PenniesAndSalt are the grammar cards necessary?
Level 2 moves at a much quicker pace because it’s reviewing a lot from level 1. The cards are not necessary unless you want to practice extra and use them almost like flash cards.
Is this a good stand alone L.A. cirriculum? We want to use Writing with structure and style but do not want to overwhelm him.
For a new user in 4th grade, is this the level to start?
Yes 😉
What “grade/age” level do you consider this book?
Upper Elementary. It would also work for 6th grade as well. Level 3 (after this) is for middle school.
@@PenniesAndSalt my son is in grade 6, in your opinion should I start him in level 2? Or do level 1 first? Also what writing would you put with this?
@@PenniesAndSalt this was my question too. Thanks for sharing.
