thefairymum Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi there - I'm new here, and hope that I'm not aimlessly asking a question that has already been covered (I searched for awhile and didn't find this question, but there is a lot more I could have searched through!). I am a Charlotte Mason style homeschooler that uses Story of the World as our history spine. Next year I'll have a 4th and 5th grader, and it's time we start doing some grammar. We are already working with IEW for composition. My question is how to determine what level of First Language Lessons to begin with my two children. Level 1 seems too simplistic, but I don't want to skip too far ahead and find out we've missed the introduction to too many concepts. Any advice would be appreciated! Blessings, Jennifer in so cal mum to 3 wonderfuls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I would start with level 3 given they have had no grammar instruction. It reviews levels 1 and 2 sufficiently for kids this age, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleladyintheshoe Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I've just decided that 3 would be the way to go with my will be 5th grade next year. She's had little to no grammar, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefairymum Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks ladies - that is just the help I needed. I think we'll start in 3 and move quickly (if possible) and hopefully get to 4 mid year, assuming that we don't hit any grammar snags (with one it should be a breeze, with the other...). Blessings!
