Currently we are using SOTW Modern.
Next year we are back to ancients and I don't know what to use. I have looked for the last couple of years at HO and always planned on using it. Then I stumbled across History at Our House.
I like the sound of HaOR, sounds very independent and on the website, they say cause and effect is stressed and that is lacking in so many history programs. Then they turn around and say that only the most important history is taught. Most important according to who?
Anyway, does anyone have any opinions on either program?
TIA
What did you use for phonics after Teach Your Child to Read in 100 EZ Lessons????
in K-8 Curriculum Board

We used 100 Easy Lessons, both DS and I really like it, but they do kind of leave you hanging when you are done. There is a list of recommended books at the back of the book, but I remember not being to impressed with the first few, so I didn't continue down the list.
We didn't follow up with another phonics reading program.
We just switched to All About Spelling and to books. If you aren't familiar with All About Spelling, it is a phonics based spelling program.
For reading books I picked up the 'I Can Read Picture Book series' and the 'I Can Read Book Series'. Just search those two terms at BN.com. There are some crap books mixed in but most are really good, Frog and Toad, Mouse Soup, Amelia Bedelia, Fire Cat for levels 1 and 2. Level 3 books are really good with historically based books.
