TxMama Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The recommendation of OPG is to wait until lesson 140 to start FLL. Does this include WWE? Do people wait until lesson 140 to start FLL? THe recommendation is also to wait until lesson 115 before starting a spelling program. If you use AAS did you wait until lesson 115 to start? Thanks.

boscopup Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 WWE recommends waiting until age 6. I'm not sure where you'd need to be in OPG though. I started with a first grader that was reading well already. The child needs to be able to do copywork (sentences), and I think it's good if they can actually read what they're copying. But that's the only reading involved in WWE1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 We actually started spelling (AAS) before dd was reading. Spelling was easier for her than reading for over 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 We will be starting FLL and AAS soon. But we have finished OPGTR. I wanted a strong reader before moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SewLittleTime Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 We are somewhere around lesson 86 in OPG. We are doing AAS with it and are on step 17 of level 1. My ds has no problems with AAS at all! We will start FLL in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggie96 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 We are technically Kinder this year. DD learned to read (short vowel phonics) before we started OPG at start of Kinder. I started OPG on the lessons just after the alphabet (dont remember the lesson number) for review. We started FLL and WWE about 20 lessons after that because that's when I discovered them. DD has had no problem with comprehension or writing with either of them. We will probably move on to Level 2 in both for 1st grade because we had no problems thus far (we are exactly half way through our school year this week, WWE wk19 and FFL Lesson 40-ish).

Little Nyssa Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Am waiting to start spelling workout til after we're done w/ Opg. Seemed like it would be too much to do at the sametime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
