    I would like to use Analytical Grammar next year but suffered a little sticker shock yesterday when surfing around for a good price. I realize I can use it for all 4 children and just add new workbooks. But the initial cost of $95 plus another $40 for an additional book for my middle schooler has me wondering… is it worth it?

    I have used Applications of Grammar with my oldest. I admired the Christian theme throughout. It was a good book, but not maybe as thorough as I would have liked. However, it was super affordable.

    Analytical seems so thorough and has the quality and quantity of diagramming that I like. I also like that it is not all year. Although, my oldest would probably do their recommendation to finish in two years.

    Anyone have the teacher’s guide used? Then I would just have to buy 2 workbooks this year at full price. Not thinking of using the dvd.

    Any advice?

    We use AG. It is costly, but broken down per child per year really isn’t too bad. Plus I hope to re-sell when completed. I’m not sure what they’re charging now for teacher editions, but I just glanced at Homeschool Classifieds and they had a couple for $35-40ppd. Blessings, Gina

    I’m sure it is worth the money and, like Gina mentioned, it has a good resell value, etc. Since we are using JAG right now I am familiar with it so it was a toss up between it and Our Mother Tongue.  I went to a curriculum swap recently and had already decided that which ever I found would be the one I’d use.  Well, I found OMT for $7, but offered $5 and the mom accepted it!

    Now I wasn’t basing my son’s future grammar skills on a price, but that did have a bit to do with it, I have to admit. Plus, I’ve heard good things about OMT, and after seeing it for myself, I felt at peace with my decision. 

    But, if I had not found OMT I would’ve gone with AG because of how it is set up and my ds agreed.
