Middle School English 2 - For Co-Ops and Classrooms (Ages 12–14)
This homeschool English curriculum is designed for students working at approximately a 7th or 8th grade level.
The Co-Ops and Classrooms version includes the student workbook used in One Day Academy’s Middle School English 2 course, along with a leader guide to support parents or tutors in weekly instruction.
As with all of our Co-Ops and Classrooms sets, this curriculum gives the option to be taught once a week in a group setting, with students completing the rest of the work independently at home under a parent’s supervision.
- The course builds on grammar foundations and applies them to writing.
- Students explore a variety of writing styles—including narratives, topical essays, literature responses, and poetry—while developing vocabulary through word roots and structured weekly charts.
- Grammar is taught as a review using the Easy Grammar Ultimate Series, and writing assignments lay the groundwork for success in high school English courses.
