Am I concerned for nothing? R & S?

This year I'm combining my dc in Beyond. My dd will be in 1st. If things go as planned, I will continue to combine them. That puts dd in Bigger in 2nd grade. Would it be okay to have her not start R&S English 2 until she were in 3rd grade and doing Preparing? We currently do Spell to Write and Read and they have grammar incorporated and suggest adding in extra grammar in 3rd or 4th. I just personally would prefer to hold off for extra grammar until 3rd grade. Will this somehow mess up future HOD manuals by my doing this? I know things may change, but just want to know if I'm going to somehow mess something up. 
For ease of use, you wouldn't have the schedule for it in the current guide you were using, but then you'd have the previous manual to look at for scheduling purposes if you wanted. It's pretty much a lesson a day in R & S 2 anyway, so not that hard, but for the half-speed levels, it may be nice to refer to the plans for those. I don't think you have anything to be concerned about by holding off to do R & S 2 in Grade 3 along with PHFHG. HTH! 
Thanks for the response. I was just worried that maybe I was somehow going to mess it up. I didn't think it was necessarily tied into a certain guide. Again, thank you.
