amo_mea_filiis. Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Ds and I are working one lesson per day. He's only 7, so it's perfect. Dd is nearly 11 and we need to get into a formal grammar program, but she's very behind. I was thinking of doing 5 lessons per day with her until she gets to a point that she misses something, or doesn't get it. I would then slow down. Does this sound okay? Has anyone done this, and what was your experience? (We'll eventually be doing the same with math and phonics, if it works) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto4 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 FLL is written so you can start at any level. My son is doing level 4 this year and I find it reviews everything. He did not do any of the previous levels. I would use either Level 3 or 4 with your daughter and do a lesson a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 A higher level is still okay if she's done nothing? She's never done narrations, dictation, or been taught any grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yes, I've used 1, 2 and 3 so far and there are liberal amounts of review. I would just start at the appropriate age level for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It was suggested to me to start at level 3 if they have no previous experience, as level 3 is the level where they teach diagramming for the first time. My 6th grader is doing it and it is perfect. Some lessons are really easy, but i'm ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acurtis75 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I skipped level 2 for my dd because she was ready for more of a challenge. We are about 20 lessons in to level 3 and so far it's reviewing a lot and we are doing simple diagrams. We are actually doing a few lessons at a time when we do it and I plan to finish it in 6 months or so and move on to a more difficult level. So far, level 3 is pretty easy for my accelerated 6 year old so I'm pretty sure level 3 would be fine for your daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
