I forgot to mention that we're using the Explorers Level.

I'm curious as to how those of you who have used Implications of Literature schedule it? I know I could just divide the number of pages by school days, but I'm wondering if there's a different way ya'll have done it. Thanks in advance for any help!

Am I missing something, or do you have an answer key for these? (Not that I couldn't figure them out myself, but it sure makes life easier if there is one!) 😁

I thought I should clarify - I would like to loosely use interactive notebooks. Instead of just glueing in a worksheet or a picture off the internet for them to describe or use to facilitate their notes, I would like to use foldable/interactive inserts. Just not sure how that would look alongside BFSU and its flow of topics.

I love the idea of using interactive notebooks, especially for science. I also have found that my kids like BFSU books the best out of what we've tried. SO............. does anyone have any experience combining the two? Any tips? Thanks in advance!!

Title says it all! For those of you who have used Road Trip USA by Confessions of a Homeschooler, how did you schedule it? Thanks!

Oh, that would be awesome! Thank you so much

Thanks for your reply and the peek at your schedule! It was helpful - I might end up just going through one book at a time like you have here, but also am curious how to use the workbooks together. It seems like Before We Read and Learning through Sounds 1 are supposed to be used simultaneously.(??) Trying to figure out how that would work...

Hi all! I'm using Pathway Readers for Kindergarten this year (Before We Read, Learning through Sounds, etc). I'm struggling to put it in order to teach. I know it's "meant" for first grade, but I want to split it up and teach the first bit of phonics in Kindergarten and then polish it off in first. Anyhow, I stumbled upon a post on another site from back in 2010 that there was a schedule/plan for Pathway readers and Climbing to Good English somewhere. When I tried to contact the person who had posted about finding it, her email is non-existent now. Does anyone have one or something I could get an idea of how it all fits together? Thanks so much!

Does anyone have any experience with either of these books? Also considering Art with a Purpose books. The ages I'm looking for range between 5 to 10ish. Thanks!

Has anyone ever tried any of these books? http://www.teachercreated.com/books/writing?series=project-based-writing

thanks everyone for your suggestions. I think I'd like to take a look at Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading and Happy Phonics. Maybe they could go together somehow? Sooo...anyone have copies they'd like to sell? :001_cool:

Is there a program that is somewhere in the middle between All About Reading and The Writing Road to Reading? Not too much busy work, but enough to solidify the lesson and give her something to do. She knows most of her letter sounds, but we haven't gone much farther than that...she's only 4 right now but wants to learn to read. Open to suggestions... thanks

I've never used this but I ran across it awhile ago... http://gradespelling.com

Thanks. We've been using The Writing Road to Reading but are ready to mix it up a bit. ;)
