Product Overview
Along with review of prior concepts, Level 4 increases the complexity of diagrams and introduces new material such as demonstrative pronouns with a scripted format that simplifies successful teaching.
The required Student Workbook makes it easier for busy parents to spend more time teaching, and less time preparing. Level 4 reviews all prior material at a 4th-grade pace; students in 4th grade may begin with this level. Fifth-grade students who have had no previous grammar instruction should start at Level 4 before progressing to Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind.

I will have both a 3rd and 5th grader next school year and it will be our first year homeschooling. I think they’ve had only basic grammar in their public school. Could I start them both on level 3 to build a solid foundation (and to simplify my teaching) especially for my 5th grader? Or should I do FLL 3 for my 3rd grader and FLL 4 for my 5th grader?

We’d suggest starting them both with FLL3. You could purchase one copy of the Instructor book and two copies of the Student Workbook so they would each have their own copy to write in.

We have a 7 year old and a 10 year old. This is our first year homeschooling. Neither have had grammar teaching (that I am aware of).

We’d recommend Level 3 for the 10 year old.

Question
Nikki –
I just completed Level 3 with my 3rd Grader. We started Level 4 but I am realizing there is a lot of review. She is very good with language – would you recommend continuing in Level 4 or moving on to what comes next?

Press Minion –
We’d recommend continuing in level 4. The review is good for building a solid foundation, and there’s some new material in there too. The next level, “Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind,” is definitely too advanced for a 4th grader.

I have a foster child that I am allowed to homeschool. Lots of gaps in her learning. Where do I start? How would I figure it out? Placement test?

Answer Desk –
First Language Lessons Level 4 is a suitable starting point for students in fourth grade and up. It will review all prior content at a fourth-grade pace.
Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind is a middle and high school program that starts back at the beginning for review (parts of speech and so on).

I have a 9yo and an 11yo who have done level one of fix it, where would you recommend they start with FLL?

Level 3 reviews all prior material at a third-grade pace, Level 4 reviews all material at a fourth-grade pace.
I would lean toward starting the 9-yr-old in Level 3, so that he’s at a more appropriate age when he starts Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind or a similar program.
The 11-yr-old can start in Level 4 and then go to GftWTM. Depending on how strong he is in language arts, and what else is on his schedule, he might be able to go directly to GftWTM, but be aware that it’s a pretty big jump. If you got that route, know that he may only get through the Basic Lessons, perhaps a bit of the Intermediate (and that’s fine, it’s mastery we’re after).
It does work a bit differently than most programs, so you might want to take a look at that playlist on our YouTube channel, in particular video #3. If you’re still unsure, please email [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help you.
