Sue G in PA Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I started using LoF with my 1st grader just as a supplement. Fred Fridays, lol. But, he loves the book so much that we flew through Apples and this is pretty much all we use now. :) I took a look at the Language Arts series and I am intrigued. My 13yo struggles with school. Has multiple attention issues and he isn't quite ready for Analytical Grammar (which is what I had planned to use) and I am just at a loss as to what to use. LoF LA series looks interesting. Just looking for some opinions from those who have used it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronghorn Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The first book is way too easy and could probably be skipped for most 13-year-olds. My daughter is well into the second book and likes it. I am having her take notes. I have not read it yet or her notes, so I cannot really evaluate what that book covers. She is happy and working independently, though, which is a big plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's quite simple. My DD is into the third book, and as yet, hasn't reached anything that she hasn't done in MCT Island or Town. She enjoys it, and it's independent, but unless it really ramps up, it's just plain too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Australia looks incredibly easy judging by the samples. Seems Begin Teaching is a bit more challenging, but not much. I can't spend nearly $20/book for something that isn't going to really teach him anything. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
