tammyw Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/Life+of+Fred+Language+Arts+Bundle/LOFLAB/ea075603f6e7abb04d260121?subject=4&category=11152 Strangely it is marked for grades 9 -12, only I looked at the samples and they don't seem like grades 9-12 at all. Everything I saw on the samples would be appropriate for my grade 5 student. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 There was a discussion about this previously. If I was on my computer I would search for it. Many people agreed that the content seemed too light for high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilly Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 We have the fist two books. They are definitely not high school level. They even seem light to my 5th grader, but he does love reading them. We are ordering the last two levels soon because he enjoyed the books so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have all four on my shelf. I think they'll be a nice, light, fun activity for my DD, who loves LOF and loves LA. I'd call them mid/upper elementary at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I've got them. We are almost done with the first book and LOVE it because we love Fred. My son is 7 (third grade) and it's perfect for him. It's typical Fred randomness with some language arts thrown in. He has learned a couple things (like when to use that and when to use which).

CrunchyGirl Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 LegoMan is working on a 3rd-4th grade level for grammar and I'd say they are about perfect. Being that he LOVES Fred (and I tolerate Fred), I got him the set hoping he'd simply absorb them. But we might formally work through them this summer.

Kerileanne99 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I am resurrecting this thread because I just received the set yesterday and cannot.believe.this is considered HS material. Has anyone worked all the way through? I mean, obviously with LoF Butterflies for math it is MUCH easier than say Mineshaft. But I started Australia with my very advanced dd4 (who can read pretty much anything and has playful experience with all sorts of grammar, literary devices, etc., but nothing really formal!) and I am thinking it is just about perfect. Of course, I am not worried about mastery, but... Anybody finished the set yet? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
