My girls have officially completed All About Reading Level 2.
Kate loved the fun paper activities that accompanied the lessons.
Tori struggles with reading confidence, so this was a really big deal for her.
What to do next for reading?
I need to find another reading program ASAP for the interval since All About Reading Level 3 isn’t due out for months yet.
Considering using All About Spelling since Tori knows the rules well. She just needs practice. Kate could use practice too, if it’s similar to the games and activities of AAR.
I reviewed Logic of English a while back and we placed it on the shelf since the girls got a little overwhelmed, so we may utilize those resources more fully, along with journaling and notebooking.
The girls are reviewing Prima Latina and love it.
They like the methods of IEW but most of their writing activities are silly to me. They still need something more formal for reading.
I didn’t use a reading program with Elizabeth since she was a very fluent reader very young. She learned with A Beka 4K and ran along after that. We jumped right in with recommendations with A Well-Trained Mind, but I don’t know what will fit these girls best yet.
At least I have a couple months to take a break before we fully get back in the swing of things.
We haven’t used a reading program really. I used the general idea from The Writing Road to Reading, which I love, with my son and right now I’m reviewing The Reading Lesson using with my daughter. Then we use the old McGuffey readers for practice. so far they are both doing great with reading! I can see where we might need to make some take to focus on spelling at some point, but I’m not seeing the need for any real reading program for us. I’ve heard more than one person say great things about AAR and AAS, though!
Honestly, I thought AAR looked so silly when I saw it all over the blogs. Then I won level 2 off a blog and it was perfect timing. The girls loved it and Alex loves it. Perfect for kinesthetic learners! It’s all about the kids and not what Mama wants.
