Guest rathercozy Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hi - I'm new here and had a question about these programs. Are WWE and First Language Lessons to be used together? I had considered using Queen's Language Lessons for the coming year, however, I just learned about WWE (and subsequently First Language Lessons) and am very interested in them. My daughter is 4th grade, but a struggling reader/writer/speller. If these work in tandem, I would likely use FLL4 and jump into WWE where it seems appropriate. (Would that sound right?) Also, does WWE cover spelling with copywork and dictation or would I need to include a spelling option? Thanks, in advance, for your thoughts!

melissel Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I believe FLL and WWE are complementary, but you don't have to use them together. We're using GWG and WWE, and it works fine. Yes, you'd need a separate spelling program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aludlam Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 We use WWE, but not FLL. SWB does talk a little about this on one of her youtube videos. You might want to watch that. Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rathercozy Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 What is GWG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 We use them together. WWE has exercises 4 days a week. FLL is recommended to use 2-3 days a week. So, we use WWE the first 4 days of the week. I look at the 2-3 upcoming lessons in FLL and schedule them so that I'm not doing a lot of overlap with narrations or too much copywork. We always do one lesson from FLL on Fridays, since we don't do WWE on that day. It works out well for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 What is GWG? Sorry! It's Growing with Grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aludlam Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I wanted to add that we are in "deep like" with: GWG, WWE and AAS. If you have someone struggling with spelling, I would check out All About Spelling. There are some great threads about it on this board.

Cindyz Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 We are just starting but we do WWE and FLL and AAS. WWE and FLL do not take much time at our level (maybe 10 minutes each?). I don't know how they play out as they advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have someone struggling with spelling, I would check out All About Spelling. There are some great threads about it on this board. Angela I agree. My son was using Spelling Workout and just not learning any words. He was a self-taught reader and so really doesn't have phonics at all (mangles names in amazing ways). Due to some research on the boards, we started AAS (All About Spelling) in Feb. We're using Level 1, and we've seen remarkable progress in sounding out words and with phonics. We're also starting WWE Level 2 this year to get more narration practice/reading comprehension. I've been impressed with it. If you go with WWE, I'd recommend starting with the overview first (see if your library has it). Based on it, we started with Level 2. It'll help with placement. Then all you'll need is the workbook for your level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
