Georgiana Daniels Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What's the most beneficial age to start Writing Aids? I definitely don't want to buy it too soon. My kids will be doing 2nd and 3rd grades this year, but they are still young. (6 & 7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayleyKC Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I think 1st grade. So I would start this year if I were you. :-) You can read through the levels to determine where to place each of your students. If you want to just start them both at level 1 and move them up as you see fit, you'd probably be fine. They are not bound to a certain level each year. You can move them when you see that they're ready which can be part way through a year, or after a couple years all depending on the student. The loom has a document that helps you determine where to place your students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SewLittleTime Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I spent this past weekend looking in depth at the writing assignments on level 1 and 4 for my kids for the entire year. If you start at the beginning of the year with WA, it builds on skills each week for the year. It offers lots of practice in level one in sentence writing and writing a very simple paragraph. I don't think it is asking too much on the 2 levels that I look at. In fact, I was rather impressed with it. :D Now, we'll see how I feel about it after putting it into practice this year.

Joy at Home Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I think now is a great time. I just got done printing out all the graphic organizers and alphabetizing them in a binder with page protector:D I love page protectors. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
