Mommamia Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm thinking of making this switch next year. Anyone else do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckabella Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ha! I am going the other way! FLL --> GWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perogi Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I've been doing GWG with my 3rd grader and just added FLL. So far I'm not sure what we'll end up with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mama Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We did GWG for 2nd grade and switched to FLL 3 for 3rd. At this point, I'm planning on sticking with FLL for 4th. Sadly, my dd didn't retain much from GWG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warneral Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We dropped GWG3 and went to FLL3 because DS wasn't retaining with GWG (it was too easy for him to fill in the blanks in the same way as the example without understanding what he was actually doing). FLL3 still starts with the basics so I wouldn't worry too much about placement. As long as your child can write (as they need to be able to do in GWG3), they will be fine. In fact FLL requires less writing than GWG in our experience of early GWG3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We do both but if I had to choose one, I'd pick FLL. We do GWG mostly orally as well, but I can see where it'd be easy to get through without really learning on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We are using both, started with WWE and FLL and added GWG and WWW. I love them together. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggermom Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We tried GWG for a bit last year. Switched to First Language Lessons (FLL) this year and are MUCH happier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
