We have had excellent reports from schools with large Native American student enrollment as well as from many bi-lingual classes. Shurley Grammar Resource and special education students in particular seem to respond well to the auditory portion of the program as well as to the repetition of concepts. You mentioned 1 grade through 7th. In this version, we will be better able to focus on activities that can be done at home. The core of the program will remain the same.
Students have the same needs regardless of the forum.
At this time, we plan to stop at the 8th grade. The program should be given the same amount of time as is usually given to a particular subject area. Yes, these students will not need as much time to work on the grammar. However, they can then spend the remainder of the class on their writing activities. The Shurley Method is designed around student-teacher interaction.
