I think direct instruction is faster and less likely to leave gaps. My kids use EPGY through Open Enrollment, so that Language Arts and Writing (LAW) are bundled with math, and they use both. In fact, when my 6yo declares that EPGY math has become too hard, he opts to do LAW while waiting for his brain to get bigger smile.

My rising 5th-grader scored in the 400s on the SAT reading and writing sections without any preparation, which is fine for now but leaves room for improvement. I will encourage him to read and practice on the grammar sections of SAT prep books. Searching "SAT Grammar" on Amazon brings up some books with good reviews.
