He is so sweet! Great video. I plan to use level one with my first grader this upcoming year, alongside LLATL, and all about reading. Contemplating whether or not it would be overkill to use level 3 for my rising third grader, who will also be using LLATL, all about spelling and all about reading. Would you say this is a comprehensive and complete curriculum, or did you use it alongside other language arts programs? Did you find level three lessons were significantly shorter than in level four? We homeschool year-round, so I’m not too worried about spreading lessons out. ✨
I do think that Level 3 was shorter and easier to get through than Level 4. We do other things for language - we use IEW for writing and then this past year he used just a cheap Scholastic grammar workbook which focused on parts of speech. Now that he's finished FLL Level 4, I will move him into Fix-It Grammar. There were times that I feel like some things were redundant, but if I felt that, then we would move through the lesson more quickly. I enjoy FLL for their basic sentence diagramming which we weren't doing anywhere else!
We did once upon a time, but we really didn't do them this past year. Now, most of them have a good basic knowledge of most of the songs/chants that they can recall them when they want to. Some of the skip counting and english grammar definitions we all have memorized and use each year with various different curriculum.
Oh my goodness, he is such a cutie pie, his expressions are hilarious!
Thank you! He certainly is our animated wild child! :)
