RebekahnDavidMom Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi everyone, My dd is 5 and can read pretty well. Not chapter books but some of the level 2 and 3 readers at the library. I have recently ordered Ordinary Parents Guide as well as FLL. I got FLL today and read that this and OPG as well as WWE all corilate together. I was going to do the reading and grammer this year and wait for WWE until next year since that's how it seemed to be written on the curriculum guide, but if they all go together, amybe I'll get it and start it this year, If you've used all of these how did you schedule it? Do you start FLL after a certian lesson in OPG and WWE after a certian lesson in FLL? Sorry if this was a confusing post! If you could help, I'd appreicate it :-) Thanks!

shinyhappypeople Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Interesting question. I don't have an answer, but I'll give your post a bump :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 My dd wasn't ready to write when she was five but she loved FLL and tolerated OPGTTR. At five I was really relaxed about what we did. K isn't mandatory for us and dd has an August birthday so we took everything at her pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I believe PHP recommends starting FLL when your reader has reached lesson 140. That being said, my kiddos were quite fluent before that, so I started FLL1 with their K year. Neither were ready for that much writing, though, so my daughter did WWE1 with FLL2 and will do WWE2 with FLL3 this year (when we finish up). They worked very nicely together.

KAM Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 In the TWTM it recommends waiting until halfway through OPGTR before beginning FLL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggermom Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I would consider OPGTR, WWE and FLL to be on separate tracks. You can start them any time. I would do a bit of the OPGTR first in order to build phonics abilities, but if he is already doing readers he could start the others right away.

RebekahnDavidMom Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks everyone, Is all of this detailed in the WTM? I borrowed the book from the library a while ago when i was still trying to figure out all of the homeschool stuff, but I might have to re-read it now that I'm more clear on what I want to do. I guess we'll just try FLL and OPGTR and see how that goes. I am assuming that when we receive OPGTR, we'll be skipping at least some of the lessons but after looking over FLL today, we'll be able to start at the beginning there since she's never had any grammer. I think it'll be fun and I LOVE how short and quick the lessons are :-) Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
