We love Beowulf Grammar. We started when my son was 6 and he absolutely loves learning alongside Beowulf the dog. My 2 year old memorized the linking verb and prepositions songs. It's a wonderful curriculum.

I would love to see the book ‘English from the roots up’. Thanks for the thorough look through of this curriculum. We are a bilingual family. We won’t be homeschooling, but I want to ensure my child has a good grasp of the English language, as the main language in school isn’t English. Which means we will be doing some home learning. ❤️❤️❤️

We finished it over 1.5 years (2nd and half of 3rd grade), and it was fantastic! The kid who used this curriculum is a grammar wizard, and I fully attribute it to this program. It is more rigorous than it appears on first inspection, but it is paced very well. I fully plan on using it with the youngest as well when she is ready.

Thank you for sharing this curriculum! I am not all that happy with the LA we picked... Looking around for next year 2nd grade. I will, definitely mention you! I’ll love a review of their LA!! I’ll love to use both the grammar and LA for 2nd and 3rd or at least for the first half of 3rd. It looks like it has a LOT so would love to enjoy it and not rush to get it done. Thank you for sharing that that’s an option. Would you consider using the LA as well? I can’t find any reviews on it. Their website and the programs look beautiful, they definitely need more reviews out there. Happy week!🙏💗

Can you tell me how it spans those grade levels? Are there certain paged for certain levels? I have a 2nd and 5th grader. I was looking at Fix It Grammar series for the 5th grader and Logic of English Foundations D for the 2nd grader. Both are also doing Build Your Library at their grade levels. But they would probably both be drawn to this. Just not sure if it would be too basic of the older child.

@ProjectHappyHome 4 жыл бұрын

My girls are going to be 6 and 8 and they will both enjoy this, but my son is going to be 11 and I definitely think he'd be bored. I think it depends on where the kid is in terms of grammar skills, and also whether they like to cut/paste/craft their lessons.

@gingersnap2341 Жыл бұрын

Did you stretch this over a couple of years? I guess my only concern with it is that it is only made for one year or is it repeatable?

@tanyafaisal1903 Жыл бұрын

It took my second grader a little over a year to complete it. I don't think it needs to be repeated, and I am continuously impressed by how much she retained from this curriculum. Hope that helps!

@megankreider4884 3 жыл бұрын

does Beowulf grammar need to be printed one sided bc of the activity pages?

@ProjectHappyHome 3 жыл бұрын

I printed most of it one sided for that reason, but if you were printing it in sections, you could print much of double-sided and just print the few cutting pages single-sided. I wanted to have them all printed at once, and I simply didn’t have the patience to check. We add all the completed pages to our drawing bin anyway, so it works out.

I haven't purchased this yet but I was glad to see your flip through because I was really leaning toward it. This is going to be our first full year of homeschool with my second grade granddaughter. I think she is most likely ADHD and enjoyed your videos on that as well. I was also looking at this company's history and language arts. Have you checked out any of their other offerings? I would love to know what you think.

Would a 2nd and 4th grader start at the same level if they both have had no formal grammar teaching?

@ProjectHappyHome 2 жыл бұрын

Yes - it's a stand-alone curriculum, so any grade level between 2-6 can use it. I think it is a little advanced for 2nd grade, but spot on for 3rd. I used it for my 2nd grader, but she was a very strong reader and pretty instinctive with grammar so it worked. After completing it, I can honestly say that it was one of our favorite curriculums, and my daughter keeps saying that she learned this or that in Beowolf as she does grammar now.
