Carpe Diem Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi, I was wondering if someone could recommend where to start in this program. My 6 yo ds almost 7 in Nov. is now reading the beginning Magic Treehouse books with me sitting by him to help with an unknown word. He just took off on this. He is breezing through ETC book 1. Where would you recommend I start with LLATL? I really appreciate your input. Life is crazy trying to get my 15 yo dc homeschooling. Now I gotta get the others going. Thanks!

JaneP Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think the blue book would be too easy for him now but I am not that all familiar with the magic treehouse books. The best place to ask would be the LLATL group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LLATL/)... the co-author of LLATL is on there and often answers questions. All the best!

BatmansWife Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I don't think a jump up to Yellow would be good (sorry!). You could maybe start with Red. Blue is first grade, Red is 2nd. I just posted this info about Red on the other LLATL thread: Red right away (lesson 1) discusses compound words, antonyms, "when two vowels go walking, the first usually does the talking and says his long name", blend words (ch, sh, pl, etc). Looking ahead to lesson 18....ou in out, ou in court, ou in young, word box words: house, double, cloud, country, etc, subject/predicate, quotation marks Have you had him take the placement tests?

Carpe Diem Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Sorry for not getting back on here earlier. I started the word test. We went through 3 columns and he got them all correct. Thanks for the link to the website. Love the hive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
