IceFairy Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 We are doing FIAR over the Summer to lighten things up....and we are just loving it. I am seriously thinking of veering from my fall plans of Sonlight Core A and sticking with FIAR What are your thought on the two. My kids will be K and 1st.

Mandy in TN Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I think maybe you meant to post this in either the preK-K or the K-8 forum. ;) FWIW, I like FIAR. I have saved my B4FIAR guide and books to use with my grandchildren. Just use the SL core A booklist for extra read-alouds. HTH- Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say go for it! We also used SL books for read-alouds. It's the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Indeed Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 What they said. Some of my favorite memories are my FIAR books. I still have my manuals and books to pass to my children later. Use Sonlight as a read aloud list. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Adding another vote. FIAR is great for that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I agree with the others. That's basically what we did for DD's K year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 FIAR is excellent for K and 1st grade. Those were some of our most treasured learning experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I am doing FIAR next year with my kids who are also K and 1st. We also did it last year for PK and K. It is wonderful. We adore it!! My best friend is using SL core A with her same aged kids, and I much prefer what we're doing. But she prefers what she's doing. Really, it's a personal decision based on personality of you and your kids, but no reason to change if you're loving it! FIAR is certainly "enough", combined with the 3Rs for K and 1st! I blog some about FIAR, if you're curious. Link in my sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you are loving it, I'd stick with. Save SL for later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
