SWB! If you're around could you answer a qu. about FLL 4?

Hi Susan,

I have FLL 3 on hand (have not used it this year), and saw that diagramming is introduced. Does FLL 4 build on that or could a student dive into FLL 4 without any previous knowledge?

Thanks!

and when, oh when will FLL 4 samples be ready???:toetap05:

Susan, I am not clear on how Writing With Ease coordinates with FLL. Is the new book intended to be used alongside FLL 1/2? Or, can it be used with FLL 3? I think I read that Writing With Ease is to be used with first graders, but then I saw on the Peace Hill site that it can be used with older beginning writers.

Thank you! I just now saw your post, lol. I should start subscribing to at least my own threads :-).

Hey Donna,

I've been reading up on this alot too. There is a nice lengthy thread on WWE if you search back a bit...perhaps a few days ago were the last posts.

From what I've learned, there is a corresponding section in WWE for each level of FLL 1-4. You can use this in place of the writing portion of your FLL level or in addition to that pending what your child needs. So, WWE is for all FLL levels.

Editing to add in that thread link. It's 16 pages and counting:
