I loved this breakdown of them both. I have an incoming kindergartener this year and this Growing with Grammar level 1 seems a tad advanced for first grade imo. I also have older children as well and I know this would have been way too much for them, especially in the writing mechanics department. It almost seems like it would be great to do First Language Lessons 1st since the oral dialogue seems so age appropriate and then to go in to GWG after for more written review. Of course I’m totally thinking aloud for my own fam haha but I loved seeing a look into both of them.
Thanks for sharing! Yea I think I have a preference for the “first language lessons” for a reason 😆 she really knows what children that age can handle and she keeps it very simple. can’t wait to use it and see how it goes!
Great video! 🥰 We started First Language Lessons Level 1 a few weeks ago and my daughter absolutely loves it! She specifically loves the poetry memorization - she walks around reciting “The Caterpillar” to anyone who will listen to her…even our dogs 😂
I am now super interested in WTM's First Language Lessons, which I'll likely pair w Elemental Phonics Level 3. The LA curriculum I had picked out for my future 1st grader seemed wayyyy too much and I was looking for something simpler.
I know what you mean! There’s so much to language arts and I didn’t want something that will take up too much time considering the other elements of LA he’ll be learning! I have high hopes for this resource. So glad you found this video helpful 🙏🏼🤗

That’s great! I’m so excited to use it for the first time! I hope my son enjoys it too 🤗
