Nm. Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I’m debating between the original FLL 1&2 or separate 1 & 2. Is there any difference in the layout/ appearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 If I recall correctly, the older book tells you what kind of reading passages to use, but you find them yourself. I did that for the first year, but then shifted to the newer edition for the second year so that I could spend less time on prep. One hidden danger I discovered was keeping track of the books. I did prep in the summer and by the time we got to the selection in the spring from Swiss Family Robinson I couldn't find that book anywhere! I decided I must have donated it. I tried to use the library's copy, but the page numbers were different, so that took some extra work. Then somebody found my copy under a chair in the basement... It is humorous now. Anyway, the newer editions include the reading passages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm. Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 @Miss Tick I have from the library the older one 1&2 and don’t see that so far, but I def could be wrong. I don’t see Swiss Family Robinson at all. Mostly just poems and very short fables. It’s a small but thick book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I'm likely misremembering then. Apologies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I haven't seen the newer edition, but the older edition was very easy to use. I don't recall needing to look up my own passages (Miss Tick might be thinking of WWE - the all in one version vs. the individual years). With FLL, the only thing that wasn't great was the quality of the pictures used for picture study. But you can easily just google it and get a nice, full color image on your computer in seconds. FLL was truly open and go, so easy to use, and very effective (at least for my kids). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homemommy83 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I had the original then moved, and it got lost. I bought the new ones, they are much larger sized. Both are nice, but when I found the old one I was thrilled! I love the smaller compactness of the original and the great memories doing it with my older children. I love that it is two in one as well as I tend to not use it until my children are reading well, which could be in Kindergarten or in 2nd grade...leaving me never feeling behind.

Nm. Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Oh that makes sense @Miss Tick , the old WWE was not user friendly. I do feel like the old one is easy to speed up based on how it’s set up with just key words/ phrases bolded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
