HappyGrace Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Interested to hear! I'm having a tough time choosing for my 1st grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy in ME Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I chose WWE for my first grader this year because we will be able to stick with the same program for 4 years, assuming the rest of the workbooks get finished. We have only completed 2 weeks but my ds loves it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabel Lee Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I thought CW came out with reading primers for youngers, but we're doing WWE. I didn't even know CW offered writing for 1st graders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAberlin Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm not at the point where I can choose either yet, but I will go with WWE over CW when I do because WWE isn't related to the seasons and so I don't have to worry about it matching up and I don't celebrate a lot of the major holidays and so we would be skipping lessons in it.

sweetfeet Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I used WWE 1 last year for first grade. I was excited about CW Primer because I liked the idea of nature and picture study plus writing. However, it's far too religious for us to make secular, so we're going to continue with WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J'etudie Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I went with WWE because I already had the other elements (memorization, picture study, etc.) covered and didn't want to change them. Plus, I really, really like WWE. I am planning to move to CW Aesop in 4th, though, and skip WWE 4. Something has to give. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I went with WWE because it was totally scripted and I needed a whole lot of hand holding for writing. Plus I wanted our writing program to focus just on writing. The primers seemed to have alot of extras. We may switch to CW in 4th, but that's dependent on what the next book in Susan's writing program looks like and when it comes out. So far we are loving WWE!

Kirstin Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Oh wow. Okay. I should have known that. LOL! Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm already invested in CW and R&S, and didn't want to change to WWE. So now that the Primers have come along, I'm excited about doing them with my younger girl, she's just the right age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I liked some aspects of CW Primer, but felt it was covering too many things that I was already teaching using other resources that I didn't want to change. If I hadn't already made some of those choices I would have been more tempted. ETA: I think it may come down to this - do you want something close to an "all in one?" or do you prefer to work on copywork/narration (and eventually dictation) separately from other LA?
