Hello.
I have a question regarding starting a 7th grader, who has already worked through R&S 6 grammar and diagramming, with Harvey's. I plan to do a quick run through of CW-A for a few weeks, then move to CW-H with him. I like the idea of the grammar notebook.
But here is my question. Part 1 of Harvey's Elementary Grammar seems too "easy" for him (even if Harveys introduces some new terminology). What would you suggest? Would you have him:
1) go through Elementary anyway from the beginning(since he's doing CW-H), sequentially but quickly? Would you have him work from lesson 1 to 130 IN ORDER?
2) go through it, combining parts 1 and 2 AT THE SAME TIME to give both exposure and a higher level of imformation (what I mean here is to do ALL noun parts in Harvey's Elementary, from both parts 1 and 2, before moving onto the next part of speech)?
3) start with the upper level Harvey's book? The problem I see here is that he would have no foundation from the Elementary book, but I can't tell if that's necessary.
It's hard to start an older child sometimes because I don't know where things overlap!
