My first review with The Curriculum Choice was posted last week! I’m excited and thankful to be part of this group of thoughtful homeschool curriculum reviewers. If you want information about a wide range of curriculum, do search their archives.
Here is an excerpt of my review of the Rod and Staff grammar series:
When I was a child, my younger sisters studied grammar differently than I did. They learned something mysterious called ‘diagramming’ and had very interesting textbooks.
Many years later a friend of mine was selling some books, and in the pile I found Rod and Staff grammar texts. Exactly what my sisters had studied! Of course I bought them. We were ready for a formal grammar program.
…you can read the rest of the review here.

Yay Annie! I saw your review already. Great job! I also used R&S with my older 2. I’m not sure about my 3rd child yet. He’s not ready for formal grammar. It makes me feel better to know that you used the books a year behind the grade level.
Thanks, Kristen!
Actually I use it 2 years behind the grade level; it’s still far beyond what most children learn. I think Susan Wise Bauer also recommends using it later than recommended (second edition??) but I’m not positive where I read that.
