When will the book 3 for Using Language Well be available??? I am working on my plan for next year and I was going to use that book for two of my children and its not available. If it won’t be available any suggestion for alternatives??
I want to have ULW Book 3 ready for fall, Sheena. That’s my goal; unfortunately, I can’t guarantee that it will definitely happen. If it is not ready, I would recommend that you do Analytical Grammar instead. It is more in-depth than ULW will be, so you can be sure that you will be covering everything (and more) that will be in ULW.
ULW is a supplement to Spelling Wisdom. You’ll need the corresponding Spelling Wisdom book in order to use it.
Piggy backing on this post….I’m just getting started with the Charlotte Mason method and trying to match up books.
I have a 4th grade child who I will start with Spelling Wisdom 1 but ULW 2 seems to be a better fit for him. Is this combo ok?
As for my 8th grader, it looks like Spelling Wisdom 3 will be a good fit. I also think ULW 2 would be good for her as grammar is a weak area. Will this combo work?
Or do you need to stick with Spelling 1/Language 1, Spelling 2/Language 2 combinations to make the lessons coorespond?
First, an update: ULW Book 3 is written and in page layout right now. Hurrah!
@langfordcr: Each ULW book is directly tied to the exercises given in its corresponding SW book. So a lesson in ULW Book 2 would start by saying, Read Exercise 4 in SW Book 2 and look at this particular aspect of it. Then the final piece of the lesson tells the student to prepare that exercise that was just looked at for dictation. So I think it would be confusing to try to do one ULW book and a different SW book. Does that make sense?
I hope so, but I can’t say for sure as I don’t know how long the rest of page layout and proofreading will take for both the student and teacher books.
