Take a look inside Fix It Grammar | How I teach grammar for middle and high school in our homeschool

[@thedefinitionofhomeschool]

Same! I love your attitude towards things.

Thank you! Exactly what I needed! 😊

I just found your channel and I’m learning so much, thank you! I hope this isn’t too personal, but my child has Duane’s syndrome. I noticed you possibly might have it as well?! I had to mention it because it is so rare. I hope I’m not over stepping and I in no way mean to point something out. It is so subtle. If that is what you have, seeing your is very encouraging to me. I’ve order so many books for our first Guest Hollow unit! We also will be using Fox It! Grammar next too!

Good catch! I do have Duane’s syndrome in one eye. Diagnosed as a kid and was told as long as it didn’t affect reading I could just leave it be. And I’m a huge reader! Now I just tell people I can do a cool trick with making my eyes go two different directions 😆

@@mypracticallyimperfectlife Oh this is so encouraging to me. Thank you! ❤️🙏

Hi, I love your channel and have been watching tons of your videos! Thank you! I also wanted to share that my daughter (7th grade) also has Duane's Syndrome! I briefly thought I noticed something in one of your videos and considered asking but also didn't want to be rude! Honestly I was a little excited about it because I really like your videos and since it is so rare I think my daughter would be happy that her lesson plans were influenced by someone else who has the same condition. She loves doing her eye trick as well :)

​@@kimberlyd40 how old is your daughter if you don't mind my asking? My daughter has DS as well 😊

Hello, I found your channel recently as well. I have learned quite a bit from you and I am on my 10th year of homeschooling! I had a question about IEW. Did you have to do the Teaching Writing: Structure and Style seminar when you started to teach your children this grammar program? Thank you for taking the time to make these home school videos!

[@mypracticallyimperfectlife]

No, you should be fine with Fix It Grammar without needing the writing seminar. It’s pretty much an open and go grammar curriculum.

My child will be in 9th grade, but has never done Fix-It grammar. How do I know which book level should I buy for her?

[@mypracticallyimperfectlife]

IEW recommends you check out the student samples for the various book levels (found on their website) and consider your students current strength in grammar concepts. Officially, they recommend students who have struggled in grammar to start with book one. I would say at the high school level you could probably look at start with either book 3 or four, again just considering how much grammar instruction they’ve had during middle school, and how comfortable they feel with the different concepts thus far. They do also offer a free four week trial of their grammar books online. So that might be a way for you to check out what they have and how well a particular one works for your student
