My rising 5th grader was a struggling reader/writer. I began LCI this year, but half-heartedly and only since January, since the focus has still been improving reading, spelling and writing. I'm afraid I didn't do what I should have anyway, a little overwhelmed with 3 other grades in my house. So now we're only finishing up unit II and nearing the end of our year ( I go year round with a slightly longer--4 week--summer break). I'm wondering if I should simply keep going with LCI and then on to FF or should I just start FF when we start our new year? I have 2 older kids who started with LCI earlier and will be in 3rd F, so I know that FF has a lot of review from LCI. The biggest thing is that I SO much prefer the layout of the FF--the presentation is so much more logical (to me). My perspective is a little skewed since my first 2 were accelerated readers, but this child enjoys the Latin and seems interested in learning it. I could also continue this "for fun" through the summer...possibly :-).
I'm also considering the Grammar/Comp program for him. I've done several writing programs none of which I've really been happy with and I thought it might be nice to have the Latin and Lang Arts correlate a little more. Since this is relatively new, I'd appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions.
Thanks.
