[How do you keep track of grades?]

Thanks so much for posting this question--and for the helpful answers and recommendations!

 

Amy in GA, I viewed your shared Google doc and had one quick question--what are the roman numerals indicating on your single subject sheet?  I'm sure it's obvious and I'm just missing something!   :lol: Thanks for the link to the planners--yay for affordability and functionality!

[Help posting in classifieds?]

I think that there is a glitch in the system--the very same thing happens each time I post an ad!  After you've entered your classified (and you get the "something's wrong message), try hitting"Refresh" or "Reload", click on the Classifieds tab, and there's a good chance you will see your ad placed there.   :thumbup: That's what has worked for me.

 

Hope that's helpful!

[Life After "FLL for the WTM"?]

If you look on the PHP site and look under samples, there is an article by SWB that outlines various tracks you can take with writing, using WTM and other publishers. If I weren't on my phone, I'd link it!

 

Great--thanks for the direction!

I would go to FLL4, maybe, because it does go back and review the basics before moving on to harder concepts. I would also add WWE, any level you think would work. I would probably use level 4 for a kid with that level of ability, and then in 5th you could move into WWS, which is a fabulous program, IMO. 

 

Great suggestion--thanks!  I need to do some research on WWS, but it sounds as though it will fit the bill--coupled with FLL4.

 

Thanks~

Thank you both for your replies!  I should have added that I'm rather eclectic in my curriculum selection.  I pick and choose what works best for us, as we all do.  Thus, I'm not lock-step into only WTM stuff--though, like 2 Girls, I don't know what I would have done with out "the Book."  It's an amazing resource--and we've been home-educating for 8 years now. 

 

I appreciate your suggestions and prompt replies!

Confession:  I stayed too long with Adventures in Phonics; thus, we just finished our review of Book 1/FLL and full-on completion of Books 2 & 3, cruising through the letter writing/dictionary usage/oral usage at the very end.  

 

DS is a rising 4th grader, an advanced writer/reader with a vocab (and the ability to spell it!) of a high schooler.  He grasped the diagramming, lingo, rules, etc. with no problem.  

 

My questions is this:  What comes next for us?  WWE, I fear, would be rather basic for him--as it was for his older brother.  Any recommendations on what to use next to cement the grammar skills, develop non-fiction writing skills, outlining, and the like?  I've been reading through the WTM guide and value that very much; however, "here's what I've done, here's our experience" is so valuable to me.

 

Thanks--in advance,
