Wonder Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 What all is included? I'm using FLL3 right now and will probably start FLL1 next year with youngers. Just wondered if the CD is worth it (although I don't even know where to find it at this point). Are there songs for the definitions of the parts of speech or...??? Are there other grammar song CDs that people have appreciated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrayshire Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We just finished FLL1 this week.....I was curious about this CD to use with my rising 2nd grader before moving into FLL2 in August! So, I'm bumping this up so maybe your questions (and mine) will be answered! Hope someone can chime in. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByGrace3 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I was actually going to post this question, so listening in! I was thinking about either the FLL cd, grammar songs, Shurley jingles or ??? I definitely want something to solidify the definitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2TheTeam Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We are using FLL1. I do have the audio. For FLL1, the audio is not worth it. It's just the poems read aloud and a couple of stories for the few narrations FLL includes. They are all short and not even worth pulling out the CD for. Maybe once we are much farther along, I'll pull out the CD in car or whatever and let the kids listen to all the poems they have memorized. For FLL2, which I have, but haven't even looked at, there are 12 different grammar songs for memorizing pronouns, state of being verbs, helping verbs and so on. So, I think I'll use it more when we get there. If nothing else, I'll need to hear it so I can sing it for the kids. LOL. So, bottom line, you don't need it, especially for FLL1. But, for the price, (I think I paid $7 on Amazon) it is probably worth it for FLL2 for the grammar songs unless you have some of your own. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystie Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I bought the Shurley CD for the jingles even though we aren't using Shurley Grammar. We do Grammar with our Latin (LFC), and LFC uses Shurley's definitions, so we memorize the Shurley jingles during our Circle Time. It helps when we're working on the Latin and my son says, "But I don't *know* what kind of verb it is." And I start, "Verb? Verb? What is a verb?" and he can finish, "Haven't you heard there are two kinds of verbs: the linking verb and the action verb." or when he wants to use the nominative case for all his verbs, I can remind him with the Shurley chant of the different noun jobs (a concept not often covered well in English grammars because it doesn't really make any difference in English.)

I think I'll look for the FLL 2 CD.....especially if I can get it for $7! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2TheTeam Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thank you! I think I'll look for the FLL 2 CD.....especially if I can get it for $7! FLL1 and FF2 are on the same CD. Here you go....$8.19 plus shipping, which I never pay because I can always order at least $25 worth even if I just add something like vitamins or shampoo.

Wonder Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Can anyone compare the Shurley English jingles with the FLL grammar songs? I've heard Shurley is really "hokey?" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
