Hello Pam!! It really thrills me to hear someone fresh and excited--reminds me of how I felt when I latched on to IEW! As I reminisce, I am reminded of how I ...

Its that time of year again-to go through my books and decide which to recycle at the used book sale. I still have some of the other curriculum from before...
Becky, Personally I think between IEW and Shurley, you have the grammar/writing pretty well covered. I don't know what level Shurley you are using. I'm using...

So far we have used Levels 2, 5 and 7. There is a BIG jump up to 7. If you are comfortable simplifying the info, I'd say go with 7 or 8. With regard to just...
