This year I let him work at his own pace and we completed 2nd grade work, therefore, I’m going to refer to him as my 1st/2nd grader. I struggled to know where to begin with my 3rd grader, however the literature suggested that everyone, no matter the age, start with Level 1 because there is no way to know what they may have missed and it’s better to start from the beginning to give them a good foundation.
