You said you always did the grammar and writing activities included in the literature studies. Are you now doing the activities from IEW instead?

I just found IEW last year and I am approaching using it more like incorporating into what we are doing rather than using one of their curriculum books now because the book approach wasn’t quite working.
I think this is going to be another good piece of the puzzle for us!

Visit author or publisher websites to find a variety of examples to enhance your family’s reading experience.
