Yes, I have been using it that way with my two high schoolers. They are in 10th and 12th this year, and we started ULW 3 last year. We sometimes use the dictation, but often skip it. It takes us about 15-20 minutes twice a week. It might go faster for you—my oldest kid can be a bit pokey! 😉 The passages are taken from literature, but ULW focuses on a smaller part of one sentence. I still recommend you purchase SW 3 for the full passage, even if you aren’t doing dictation. We usually read through the passage together, then they work on the ULW lesson. We talk about the answers, and if there is time, I add the dictation. I think it’s a great grammar review, and everything is repeated often, so there is plenty of review and more concepts are gradually added, just like with levels 1 and 2. There are also some fun poetry lessons sprinkled throughout the book.
