Mommy7 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Does FLL have enough writing in it? I wouldn't be duplicating, would I? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela&4boys Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I opt to skip the narrations in FLL as I feel there is plenty for my ds in WWE since we double-up lesons. FLL 1/2 was written prior to WWE and therefore it is left up to the discretion of the parent. Some exercises in FLL 3 and 4 are noted as "optional" by design assuming you may be using WWE alongside. Hth. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcjlkplus3 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 We are using level 2 of both this year. There might be a very little bit of crossover/duplication. WWE works strictly on writing any (narration, dictation and copywork). There is not really any grammar being taught in it at all. There is a little of the writing elements in FLL - it was written first, but there is only a little and it is easy enough to not do. I will usually skip the FLL lessons that are just narration, because we get that 2x a week in WWE and also do it for history. Depending on how the day is going, I will also sometimes skip the copywork or dictation in FLL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen in NS Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Does FLL have enough writing in it? I wouldn't be duplicating, would I? Thanks! I consider FLL to be a grammar program with some writing thrown in, and WWE to be a writing program with some grammar thrown in. So, when I use FLL, I tend to skip the copywork/dictation at the end of each lesson, in favour of the WWE writing lesson of the day (and try to incorporate some of the FLL grammar into the WWE lesson).

Frontier Mom Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I just got the book so I haven't started yet. I am using FLL 3 for my youngest and thinking it would be good to use WWE for my youngest two as their writing program. The workbooks seem rather young for a 4th grader and 6th grader, although the book says it is good for older children who struggle. What do you think?
