Heather, I hope CW knows what a good spokesperson they have in you! I;ve been following your thread with quiverfull and think that they should be paying you for all the wonderful info you are giving us!:001_smile: Thank you!!!! I think that we will do what you recommended. She used to use the Old SL LA and did that kind of thing there so it should not be new to her. I'm hoping CW will be similar to the old SL b/c that worked for us. Thank you again so much! I am very much looking forward to trying CW now! :D

Yes! That does help! Thank you!!!! So if I have the Aesop book could I just teach her the sections on outlining, dictionary, etc this summer and start B in the fall?

My girls love the Elsie Dinsmore books. There is some old fashioned 1800's courting when her father- and later she herself get married but the carracter content is great! There are also books on Millie, Violet (Elsies' daughter), Kathleen and one on Laylie in the series. HTH! :)

Thank you both for your responses. They were very helpful! :) Siloam, I think I've read on your posts to others that one should always start with Aesop A and not B b/c they need the skills in A. My dd is great at narration and dictation and she is finishing FLL 3 this week. Could she start with B? The more I read about CW the more I think it would be a good fit for us (especially if it doesn't take an hour!;)) I just wonder if some of it might be too easy for her after FLL3 and WWE? And at the same time I wonder if it would be too complicated for me to teach?:confused: I guess I need to just order the book and figure it all out- but these suggestions are always helpful!:001_smile: I figure that I always have my WWE book on the shelf it I decide we can't live without it- but I'm looking forward to the idea of having grammar, writing, spelling, etc all together!

Hello! I posted last week and asked about doing Latin and WWE and no other grammar. Then I picked back up LCC and thought that I should do CW instead of WWE since I wouldn't be doing any other grammar or spelling for dd(4th next year). But then I heard that Aesop takes an hour to do everyday. Is that true? How overwhelming is it compared to WWE. I feel way out of my comfort zone with the progym.... I think I might like to try it but wanted to hear from others b4 I bought it. I guess I don't have a specific question:001_huh: but would appreciate any thoughts! :)

We also like the readers (Primer- 3) and Burgess!

Caroline- Where does First Form fit into the PL, LC1, LC2, Henle cycle? Are you not worried about them not doing diagramming? Targhee- I agree with you about spelling. I would have her learn the spelling for the English words as well as the Latin. Thank you both! Anyone else with experience with this?

Thanks Heather! So is there enough diagramming and things like that?

As I was sitting here this morning with dd8s' Latin, spelling, FLL3, Math, and WWE I was wondering, could I use Latin for spelling and grammar too? For example, could I take her vocab words and make them into her spelling words? And would there be enough grammar in LC1 & LC2 & Henle that I could just not use another grammar curriculum? That way we'd have latin, math and writing to do in a day. Could that work? I know many use the LCC but that still uses CW and Harvey's. I'm wondering if just WWE and Latin would be enough. Any thoughts?

Vol 1 is a great place to start, IMO, b/c most of the books are more well-known. The Ladies on the FIAR Forum are GREAT and can help you with choosing books. We have done B4 and all 3 volumes and are in Vol 4 now (in between SOTW) and all of them are excellent! And of course Homeschool share is a great resource! :)

You should check the FIAR forums on their website. The ladies there are great!!!!!

Thank you both! It seems as though they have good quality material! I think my girls would enjoy it! :)

I would say "YES!!!!" to the workbook! Everything is laid out for you (your child) and it runs smoothly with both. I am one that usually skimps on stuff like that to save money but I think this one is worth it! :)

I was just wondering if anyone had done the "Life of Faith" Bible Study based on the Elsie Dinsmore dolls. A few homeschool families from church were thinking about doing this "club" (?)/ Bible Study. I was just interested in hearing the experiences of others if there are any! Thanks!

Another suggestion for book 2. My dd in doing WWE2 with FLL3 and it is working well!
