We are first time homeschoolers. Currently for ELA we are doing all about spelling lvl 1 (however we def could have skipped this and gone into lvl 2), all about reading lvl 2, and handwriting without tears C. However, I find HWT doesn’t really cover grammar rules? We use printing power and building writers, and i thought BW would have more explicit teaching, but it really just like a simple prompt.
I’m wondering what other writing resources we can use to make sure we are covering our bases in writing - punctuation, grammar, etc.
I’ve looked into EIW, but i don’t love the online factor as we are pretty much screen free.
Any help is appreciated!
We are grade 2 (just turned 7), ontario.

Do you put it on a credit card, pay it out right, debit, payment plan?
Just curious what other families do, and why!
Some curriculums can be so expensive, especially when added all together.

This year we paid outright from learning house and 2 things from tpt, however we traded a hefty private school tuition payment for home education so it felt like peanuts, however i know this isn’t the reality for everyone, and once we adjust to having a larger budget, may not even be a reality for us next year unless we plan and save ahead of time 🤣
(aar, aas, dimensions, and hwt are our core curriculums we are using)
