I am using primer and beta with my kids for the first time. I have the teacher text for both but really haven't used them at all. The DVD is pretty thorough.

We all love CW here. Read it with my kids 3 times last year. (Okay the last time I was over it) But still, it's considered a classic in our house.

My dd (8) came out of PS a few months ago with terrible handwriting. I started her out with HWT 2 so she could work on it before starting cursive. She's about half way through the workbook and her handwriting has completely changed. She puts forth the effort is now really proud of the fact that she can write so neatly. :) Also, I think the 2 lined paper that HWT uses helped a lot.

We're using HWT and love it. We'll be starting cursive in the next couple of months.

I would (x)post this on the SL forum boards. There is a wealth of information and advice there!

ETC MCP phonics program MCP practice readers And various beginning readers likes BOB books, Dr. Suess, I can read series, Step into reading series, etc. So far we're using ETC and BOB books and SL k readers. I just got OPGTR from the library.

I definitely can't claim to be experienced sine we're only 4 weeks into Core B and P4/5. This is our first year homeschooling and it's been a breeze with SL. We're on the 4 day schedule. So far we're happy with everything except LA and geography. I'm starting to build my own programs for those subjects. We love the readers/read alouds.

I've read/heard great things about Artistic Pursuits. I'll be getting it for my kids as the year progresses.

For my ds, 5yo, I am using Sonlight core P4/5 with Handwriting w/o Tears (we love it!) and Math-u-See Primer and I plan on adding Explode the Code soon.
