I'll do my best to include all details, if you have questions feel free to ask.
My son is 7 and will turn 8 on September 30th. Many states consider him a 2nd grader, but our state has him being a 3rd grader. I do not use all Memoria Press. I have recently discovered it and we are trying out the literature guides and introduction to composition. For our other language subjects we are using First Language Lesson Level 3, Spelling Workout C, Zaner-Bloser Cursive and Song School Latin. I love the literature guides, but I am getting the feeling my son may not be ready for the grade 3 literature guides and introduction to composition. I see they are listed for grades 3-4 and he is really grades 2-3. He has phonics down solid, we used Abeka and it was very thorough. We are doing Farmer Boy right now. We are completely overwhelmed to even think about doing any writing, so we do it orally. He seems very tired reading on this level and going through the guide even orally. He doesn't ever have to sound out words, he reads it perfectly, but not smoothly or easily. What would your suggestion be? Do you think dropping back and doing grade 2 literature guides would be our best bet? What about introduction to composition? Should we just wait until next year? Do you suggest any writing for grade 2, I didn't see anything?
Thank you so much!
