    Here's ours, but still ironing out a few details: Bible: Explorer's Bible Study History: ? Possibly Veritas or A Beka Reading & LA: Sonlight Spelling: AAS Penmanship: Classically Cursive Math: BJU 3 Science: Exploring God's World

    We used Primary Phonics for two of our dc with similar needs. Or Publisher's website here.

    Thanks! Definitely a bargain. ;)

    Loving the looks of this! Thank you, ladies.

    I'm sorry, to clarify... For the purpose of word building, hence the "drag and drop" reference.

    Thank you all! :)

    I'm looking for an app for either an iPad or Kindle that is simple. I'm hoping to find one that would support an Orton-Gillingham approach similar to All About Spelling/Reading or Logic of English. I have both of their apps, and while they're helpful, I'd love to find one that would alleviate the need for actual manipulatives for youngest ds. Something travel-friendly. Any suggestions appreciated. :)

    Roanna, I would love a copy. We have well-meaning grandmothers that are eager to understand one of our ds's gf needs. I'll pm my email addy. Thank you for offering this! :)

    I have purchased AAR 1 for our 1st grade ds, but I'd like to add handwriting. I prefer a modern or italic form, but I'm open to traditional. Is there one that complements it well?

    Thank you, Ellie. WRTR is sounding a little less intimidating... ;) I have it on my bookshelf! Worth a shot! Great info! Thanks for the additional suggestions. That's so encouraging! Since we own it, I'm going to give it a go first. Hoping it's "The One". :)

    There are three sets of card so I could alleviate that card set altogether. However, I'd need to tweak the dialogue. Food for thought... Ahh... okay. Does the manual also give you an idea as to when to introduce words and books? Yep, we are using it all. :confused:

    We began Saxon Phonics K about six weeks ago. While ds is retaining some, he often remembers the picture as opposed to the sound or even letter when he sees the letter. Is it the program? His age? What programs/methods don't use picture associations? I'm somewhat familiar with WRTR, but prefer something with a daily lesson plan. I'm wondering if I should halt everything before more confusion takes place. [sigh] This is our fourth ds that I've taught to read and we've not encountered this until now. I do like the pace of Saxon K. He is not an eager reader, but does show some interest. I also like that it has them sounding out words rather quickly, giving him an incentive. Should I change programs all together? Or just alleviate the picture association? I'm leaning towards looking for something different altogether as I have done enough tweaking in my homeschool career and prefer something open-and-go. Please share your thoughts...

    Thank you both. And Shannon... I totally appreciate your opinion and will consider that.

    Please share approximately how much time you spend on instruction. I realize this will vary, but I'm in the process of deciding if we will be able to use it. (We would be using either Level D or E.)
