Gentlemommy Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Are both of these necessary? What do each of them teach? I am at the bookstore looking at WWE and it seems to cover narration, grammar, and copy work...what does FLL cover? If you were to pick one, which one would it be? Thanks!

boscopup Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 FLL covers grammar. WWE covers composition. Even though they might both have copywork, narration, and dictation, they're for different purposes. I use both. They complement each other nicely and are designed to go together. If I could only choose one, I'd go with WWE if the child is very young (ie, if grammar really isn't essential). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and I wouldn't buy them new at a bookstore. Amazon or Sale/Swap board (FLL is non-consumable in Levels 1 & 2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 She is 6.5...an emergent reader. I really liked the look of WWE, but I haven't looked at FFL...also, the book I saw had the teacher section in the front and the student pages in the back of the book. I think that now they are separate books right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Can you recommend some of the vintage grammar texts for a young child? Thanks!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 WWE has teacher section in front and student pages in back. FLL 1 and 2 are one book each - no student pages. FLL 3 and 4 have a teacher book and a separate student workbook each. And I agree with not getting them at a bookstore. Amazon has good prices on them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
