You know, we use Rod and Staff right now (2nd grade), but will be switching to the Veritas Comprehension Guides next year for reading and Phonics Pathways to keep phonics fresh. Plus, we just started Spelling Power and I LOVE it!!
Rod and Staff has a great foundation, and is really challenging for the child that excels at reading IMO. However, I'm finding the reading part of it contains too much writing for my daughter. Also, since it's all Bible stories, I discovered that she wasn't really comprehending what she read, she had the stories memorized :rolleyes: So, we've scrapped the Reading curriculum, we'll finish this year's phonics, and then we'll only be using the English next year.
My youngest will be in K next year and I'm totally going with ETC and Phonics Pathways, then FLL for 1st.
