    When I talked to Erin she also pushed the vocabulary program but I refrained. I am confident in the vocabulary my kids are gaining by reading great books. Spelling Wisdom is wonderful and adequate for spelling.

    I own Simply Grammar and I’m going to go take a look at it. My first thought is that AG is more thorough and at the high school level, including sentence diagramming and punctuation, for instance. I thought SG was more introductory and for younger children but I may be wrong.

    Thank you Melissa. I actually chatted with Karen Andreola through email yesterday and she said that if my son gets through most of Simply Grammar (not all), with a good understanding of the lessons, then he will have the basics under his belt. Then, Adjectives, Vivid Verbs, Adverbs, etc. are reviewed in Story Starters where a student is encouraged to “use” them in his creative writing.

    I also plan to use Spelling Wisdom. I looked at it and it is what I think will work best for my son vs. the vocabulary program recommended by AG. 🙂

    Thanks for letting me know this! You are causing me to ponder doing the same thing for my 13yo son. AG is a lot to keep up with if the mother wants to keep on top of correcting work. Karen Andreola is wonderful. I’m glad that she helped you.

    I know what you mean Melissa about having to keep up with a lot. If I need to switch to AG later I may, but for now I will try the other things first and see how it goes plus save money as well. 🙂
