HappyGrace Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Just asking because I see older dc (age 9 or 10) on here that are using it a lot and wondered if it's too hard for an average 2nd grader who has done WWE 1. (I'm assuming the older dc are being remediated.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 We didn't use WWE 1, but we did do some of our own narration and copywork. My dd is using WWE 2 this year for second grade and doing fine. Do you have access to the WWE textbook? It has placement tests for each level that I found to be very accurate. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndTheBoys Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Just asking because I see older dc (age 9 or 10) on here that are using it a lot and wondered if it's too hard for an average 2nd grader who has done WWE 1. (I'm assuming the older dc are being remediated.) If you've done WWE and the last lesson that tests if you're ready--you ought to be fine. My son turns 7 next week and we're in Week 9 of WWE2. It's a struggle but not because it's too hard, just because he doesn't enjoy writing. But he is improving a lot and it's right-on. I think it's intended for an average 2nd grader who has completed WWE1, but that some parents are using it to get their older children up to speed if they've missed some writing instruction earlier-- Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 It depends on the kid using it. My dd is 7 and it's easy for her, but her strength is language and writing. My ds is in 3rd grade and about to turn 9 and we've had to move slowly through level 2, but he seems to have auditory processing issues and the narration and longer dictations are harder for him to remember if he only hears them. I think an average 2nd grader who has already done WWE 1 will do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsunshine Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think it would be fine for the average 2nd grader, too. Even if your 2nd grader was not completely comfortable with it at first, there is sooo much gentle practice that it allows for gradual skill development over time.
