He loves language and is advanced in that area, so we started last year and that's his favorite curriculum. He is always excited when it is time for FLL. We just started the part that includes copywork, and being a hater of anything that involves writing, he is showing a little bit of resistance to that part of the lesson, but still does it, just because he loves the book. I have started putting a lapbook together to double up as a record and notebooking of his accomplishments and what we are learning. I only have good things to say about the book. .-= Joelle´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Joelle/717530/" rel="nofollow">Weekly Wrap-up</a> =-.

Our previous program included a consumable workbook and was very colorful - the kids enjoyed it - but it took a lot of time to do the actual lessons as well as the workbook, and often they just ended up doing the workbook, which I felt badly about. I mean, I could have just gotten the grammar workbook for a lot cheaper...right? So, we're going to see how this goes. I also purchased the very inexpensive teacher's guides by Catherine Andrews and Mary Jane Newcomer from Amazon.com. They have answers and extended activities for the lessons in the book. Some people may not need or want the teacher's guides - and they certainly aren't necessary to teach the book, but they certainly are nice to have. .-= Mia´s last blog ..<a href="http://miazshomeschoolminutes.blogspot.com/2009/08/hand-shadow-puppet-show.html" rel="nofollow">Hand shadow puppet show...</a> =-.
