scoutingmom Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Is there any feasible way to have a student do FLL 4 independently? It is getting dropped because of my lack of time. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I wouldn't think so. It really requires someone reading directions and instructions to them. What about switching to Hake? I've heard that one is more independent. We are going to try it for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 No. It is very teacher intensive. If you need something your kid can do on their own, FLL is not it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm using FLL4 this year with two of my kids. I can't see how you could consistently do it independently. There might be a couple of days here & there they could do by themselves (poetry days, short passage days), but the great majority need someone to read the TM stuff. It only takes us 15-20 minutes on most days to go through a lesson. We do it for 25-30 minutes & get through more than a lesson per day.

SilverMoon Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 No. There's no instruction in the student book. All the teaching is in the TM. Junior Analytical Grammar is written to the student, and there's an optional DVD if that's not enough. My DC ran this entirely independently, grading their own work as they went. I graded the tests, and if it was clear they hadn't spent the time actually learning the concept they repeated the chapter. Rod and Staff English can also be done independently, but it works best with a mixture of teacher led and independent work in my experience.

scoutingmom Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Well shoot. I really like the style and what is taught, and it's gentleness, but teaching 4 levels of math, 3 levels of spelling, 1 learning to read, and then helping with various other subjects as needed... I apparently don't have the time even though it is quick. I also bought WWE and haven't used it at all. Grr.

Peaceful Isle Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I use it with my son. What about doing half a lessons day? It would take only about ten minutes. Some lessons you could split up into three days. The lessons are only meant to do three times a week,so it wouldn't put you behind that much.

scoutingmom Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sigh.... maybe I just have to be more conscious of timing spelling and FLL to let it get done.... Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
