Total Language Plus

Total Language Plus

How long does one guide take? Do you plan to do more than one guide per year?

re: Total Language Plus

This is what the author says:

We recommend using one study per quarter–a total of three to five per year with short breaks between. The speed with which the novel studies are completed depends on your particular situation. Doing language arts four days a week, one hour each day allows us to complete one unit per week–some of the time. It has been our experience that generally, a six-unit study will take nine weeks to complete; a seven-unit study will take ten weeks and so on. A typical approach is to begin a novel study near the beginning of the school year, break during the Thanksgiving – Christmas holiday season, then complete another novel study after the holidays and a third one after the spring break. Some choose to do a study during the summer.

We will be using it for the first time in the fall. I am going with four for the year.

re: Total Language Plus

We've used it in the past and I've only done one or two a year, but this year we're shooting for three for grade 10 and 7 and two for grade 4.

We used them this year........2 for each child in 6th and 9th. We liked them, however, they got tired of reading one book for 6-8 weeks........and there was not any literary analysis or poetry.......so we swtiched to Abeka Lit. They are enjoying it better.

One good thing about TLP..........they cover vocabulary, and they cover it well!!!!!!! We just thought more time was spent on vocabulary than the English/Language subject.
