hands-on-mama Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Help me. I'm not sure why I'm even looking. I have already bought for next year. Although, I may need something to fill some space when my youngest finishes MFW K. I am thinking P 4/5. If I decided to go with P 4/5 for her, would it be possible to combine my oldest with her or would it be way too easy? My oldest turned 6 back in January. She does have some issues with listening comprehension though. They will probably finish Little Hearts and MFW K around the same time. Am I crazy to be rethinking this? I figured I would continue on with Beyond but now I'm confused. It would be nice to combine in a way. The IG gives me a headache though. I don't like the layout at all. Honestly, I started looking at Sonlight for a book list. Now, I keep looking at all the books. I need to step away from curriculum...

MerryAtHope Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 My kids enjoyed many of the Pre-K books for years (there were some they still requested at age 8 and beyond). So, as far as enjoyment goes, I think your 6 yo would still enjoy it. Quantity-wise, it may feel light for K, depending on what else you are doing. For a child who struggles with listening comprehension though, you may find it helpful. If you want, add on some more science or history, or do interest-led studies for something to add on. Back when I did Sonlight's Pre-K, there was no IG. I never felt it needed one. Read the books and enjoy. When I did it with my oldest, I let him pick something to read each day--he would always pick something we had already read, that he wanted me to re-read. Then I also read something new. We just enjoyed the books. Have fun with it! Merry :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofthevine Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We used P4/5 and while it was a little light for my already-reading son who loved sitting and listening to books, we sometimes doubled up on the material or just added in other books to read as a family and for him to read alone. You can keep both children at their correct LA level and math level and I don't feel that you would be holding the oldest back in any way. The books are good at stretching their ability to sit and listen, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyeska Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We loved P4/5! My dd, who was 8 at the time, insisted firmly that she be allowed to sit in on the stories. : ) We ended up holding onto that core for an additional year and re-reading all the favorites.

PentecostalMom Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We love P4/5 and many other cores. ;) I would say go for it! They are pretty easily found used and Sonlight's Love to Learn Guarantee cannot be beat if you buy new from them. There is a Facebook group for SL curriculum, the Classifieds here, www.homeschoolclassifieds.com and of course, eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
