LMD Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 My DD was 7.5 y/o when we started, beginning of grade 3. I don't think she would have coped any earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five More Minutes Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 With an LA advanced child, I started MCT a couple of months before she turned 7. With my younger dd, I anticipate starting MCT when she's 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I started it this year, 3rd grade. We probably could have started last year in 2nd, but I wanted to hold off a year. And, no, there is no good reason for that, just my own personal preference. Dd would have done well either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgiven Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I started my daughter in 4th grade, but that was only because we didn't purchase MCT until she was in the 4th grade (9 years old). She worked fast and completed all of Island and then she started Town. She's around the middle of Town right now and she'll hopefully finish it all towards the beginning of next year, and then she'll start Voyage. With my DS, I didn't think to start him until 3rd grade, but he saw his sister doing the Island level and he wanted to try, so we started my DS at age 7, the beginning of his 2nd grade year. He is doing very well with it. I'm glad we decided to give it a try with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mukmuk Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 10yo, middle of 4th grade, in January. DS was opposed to any LA program and this was the first. Because he's older, it went down easily. He was done with it in + 3mths. We're now at Town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acablue Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 My oldest started at 7, in 2nd grade. My 2nd son will use it in 3rd or 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clemota Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 10 y.o. started mid-year 4th grade. She loves it, and I'm getting her the additional Mud books as an end-of-the-school-year "treat." Younger child will do it in 2nd or 3rd - won't know until we get there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to it! Maybe I should mention we don't actually own it yet...I'm looking forward to clicking that 'Order' button! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo_keeper Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 My eldest was 6 and my middle daughter was 4 (I am very impatient, and my 4 yo started school quite early). Keep in mind that both had already had some grammar background (my eldest had probably done one or two levels of GWG by then, for example). It's true that the 6 yo got much more out of it, but my 4 yo fell in love with SI and was in charge of identifying all nouns and verbs when we did PI. Now that we're in the Town level and they both have almost one level of KISS under their belt, they are equally adept at MCT's sentence analysis.
