Wouldn’t ‘Writing With Ease’ and ‘First Language Lessons’ be comparable books also?

mrsmccardell, I looked at and used some of Queens material and would not recommend it.
I prefere to use Spelling Wisdom for copywork and dictation. I bought a couple of Queens copywork books, they have so many typos and I don’t find they work well for dictations. Their other books (can’t remember how they are called?) with 4 subject in one do not cover any subject well IMHO.
Serl books are better but I do prefere using different books for ever subject personaly.

I have a 6th grader. Does level 5 teach students how to write (paragraph structure, topic sentences, etc)? I have only looked into Writing with Skill (I think that’s the title).

I just heard about this curriculum from another thread I posted in looking for help in choosing Lang. Arts for our family.
I downloaded the samples, but couldn’t see where the books come into play. Are there assigned reading pages/chapters to go along with the lessons or is it more of a read at your own pace kind of thing?
I love the idea of this, and am looking for something like this, but I also need direction and clear instructions of what to do and when.
