Momling Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I know we shouldn't judge books by their covers... but it's a very attractive cover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Can't wait to see a sample! (and I have at least a couple years before we would use it :lol:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a sample too, but I'd be using it for my 6th grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintedlady Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I thought I'd read that it wouldn't be ready in time for the start of the next school year, so I decided to use R&S English 5. Ack! Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do again. This is a good thing though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaT Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 So is this just what comes after FFL 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 So my current first grader can use SWB's grammar up to 5th grade now. And by then, she will have more completed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahRah Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) What grade is this new release going to be geared toward? The cover says Level 1.... There is also a pre-order option for The Complete Writer: Writing With Skill: Student Workbook Level One - wondering what grade for this one too.

Researcher Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I can't wait to see it and we won't even need it until next fall. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 January 2012? I'll be ordering from PHP to get it sooner then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Maybe Jan 2012 is the release date. Not everyone can afford to do this, but I'll be ordering from PHP to show my support (vs. saving the $$ & getting it from amazon) if I get either one of these.

CarrieF Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 What grade level is this for? Advanced Language Lessons starts with grade 5 (generally speaking) as this is her logic stage program. SO EXCITED! Now even more motivated for DS to get through FLL 4 a little early. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I thought there was a link to a sample and/or description of the book? I can't seem to find it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori in MS Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Will she be able to complete the levels one per year? My ds will finish FLL 4 this spring. I'd love to use this, but need to start in the fall. Will each year after ALL 1 be delayed as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintedlady Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Amazon says it will be released January 2012. I just went back and looked at it again and saw that. Bummer. Oh well, I'll have to live vicariously through the rest of you who are able to use it. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Stars Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) It has a really nice cover. I would love to be able to peek inside of it as well, that could really help us determine whether it would be something we want to continue. I also am wondering if it is parent intensive like the other FLL's. Just some thoughts I have. Edited March 30, 2011 by 12Stars fixed some typos.

Rosyl Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm glad to know that there is an advanced book. I can't believe I am looking ahead to the 2012-2013 school year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Wise Bauer Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Advanced Language Lessons will be a four-book series covering all the grammar a student needs pre-rhetoric--my hope is that if you go through ALL, you'll then be able to go straight into a rhetoric program with only a grammar handbook, so that the focus during the high school years is on writing with grammar only as a supplement (rather than the other way around.) So it's "advanced" level one, but that's fifth grade (or later). It should be available from us well before January 2012, and I will have samples online fairly soon. I also am happy to put a couple of weeks at a time online starting in the fall so that people who are finishing up FLL can make use of it. More details coming a little later in the spring, promise.

Lori in MS Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 This is exactly my dilemma. I want to find something to stick with for longer than a year moving forward at this level. The only somewhat luxury I have is that my son just turned 9. So another year of FLL (ALL) and then switching wouldn't be a huge deal. But still... What were you considering if you weren't going to use ALL? I was considering Analytical Grammar as that is what my older boys are using. But the ds that is doing FLL 4 right now struggles with language arts but had done beautifully with FLL and WWE. If SWB will post 2 weeks at a time this fall I will be doing ALL.

I was looking at Analytical grammar, but maybe we'll go for Advanced Language Lessons, too. My dd12 has gone through the series up through part of FLL4. Maybe I'll finish that up with her this summer and do SWB's Level 5 this fall. Looking forward to seeing samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I know we shouldn't judge books by their covers... but it's a very attractive cover! This makes me laugh. We are using FLL3 and Indy thinks it's unfair that my book has a color picture on the front, while his is only in B&W. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
