[Just Joined]

Hi All,

 

I just joined since next year will be our first year homeschooling full time.  DS6 will be in 2nd grade and DS5 will be doing kindergarten.  I also have a toddler who I'm sure will throw a wrench into all the cogs.

 

Looking forward to browsing the boards!

[Help Me Pick My Writing Curriculum!]

On the handwriting bit, my son is learning cursive in 1st grade after doing D'Nealian in K5.  He hasn't had any trouble with it, but I've not tried to replicate his success with his younger brother yet. :)

Thank you for the replies!  That helps me think about FLL with WWE together; my main concern was too much overlap between the two.

[Switching to WWE]

Next year my oldest will be in 2nd grade,and after thinking I had our curriculum picked out for what will be our first year of full-on homeschooling, I'm now thinking of using WWE instead of what I had planned for language arts.  But that means I have some holes to fill because the language arts curriculum I was going to use included pretty much everything -- spelling, reading comprehension, grammar and penmanship practice all in one.  Spelling seems pretty straight forward, but I'm wondering if you all have any suggestions for reading comprehension and any other areas of Language Arts which WWE wouldn't take care of.

 

He is a good reader, but needs to work on slowing down and reading for better comprehension.

Thanks for any suggestions!
