TyraTooters Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I think we need a little something extra to make it really stick. Sometimes just having him read over it is all he needs and other times he needs a little more. I don't want to pair anything rigorous with it but am looking to see if anyone has any suggestions to make it stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arliemaria Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 What level are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyraTooters Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 He's in Level 2. We are a little behind since we took a semester off when we pulled out of ps in first grade. I will be using level 1 with the first grader in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnlikelyHomeschoolingMama Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I am totally new here, but have been using FLL as well (and just started WWE). I started mid last-year with my first grader. Starting second grade three weeks ago, she had 25 lessons left in level 1 and we'll soon be moving on to level 2. I have found that I often just try to reinforce the things she is learning naturally through reading other things (talking about action verbs, nouns....asking her to remind me of the abbreviations for things when I'm writing something....etc). So far it feels very gentle which is probably OK for now. I feel like I'll worry about it "sticking" when we get into third and fourth grade writing. We also like to see who can remember the poems more accurately (she wins every time) and I will randomly challenge her to that. I would take heart, if I were you, and know that your son is probably going to be OK. If you find in the second level that it isn't "sticking" then perhaps some more practice with other programs may be in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Frankly I wouldn't add extra review or worry about it in the slightest. Those concepts are going to be repeated in 3. And 4. And every other grammar book he ever uses. :001_smile: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
