Ellie have you ever heard or seen the book called phonics for English reading, spelling, & writing streamline express by Pauline M Adamnson. I found it online and it looks exactly like WRTR and its free. Your thoughts. http://books.google.com/books?id=ngRIYg3wNIAC&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&ots=AJEuzMJnh9&dq=87+phonograms+listed+in+spalding+method&output=html_text Edited for spelling

1 letter confirmed my decision to homeschool
energy2c replied to energy2c's topic in General Education Discussion Board
So true Ellie and they sure do get a lot of our tax dollars. Our schools are so bad we made the national news yesterday. -
The process is not bad it's just getting everything rolling. Thanks

I'm in the beginning stages of starting a charter in my area. I have serious doubts but I'm mainly scared all efforts will not be enough. I need any tips you all can offer. I live in a major metropolitan area if that makes a difference. I've posted on FB, my church's FB page, and made a yahoo group and nothing. I'm still waiting on the marketing package from AHG. Thanks!

Nart: 50 spots!! Wow around here we are lucky if they have 10 per school per grade. Lets not mention that all the good ones are at least 1hr commute during rush hour. So glad your son got in. It's so much pressure and the testing for the kids as young as 4 is just crazy! -

Thanks everyone I'm so happy to start this journey officially., full time I pulled my daughter from preschool in December. I'm just amazed how far I've come because I just heard about homeschooling 5 years ago when my daughter was born. -
1 letter confirmed my decision to homeschool
energy2c replied to energy2c's topic in General Education Discussion Board
It is incredibly stressful beginning back in October which is when the process starts. Some families won't know what school they will go to until well into the summer. My husband was committed to evaluating yearly our hs situation but after this process he is all for it. -
was the right one. Prior to making the decision to homeschool my daughter for kindergarten I had her do the testing for selective enrollment and lottery in our school district. That was back in November and today the letter came in. My daughter got wait listed in all the schools with no shot at a decent school. The entire application process is so unbelievably complicated. Parents are so stressed out wanting the best schools for their kids and only a few hundred given a shot at "good/great" schools. I'm so blessed the decision to homeschool is available for us and we are no longer on the crazy train of school applications.

Does WRTR cover all spelling rules covered in all levels of AAS?
energy2c replied to energy2c's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
DiannaC, I've heard of that but haven't looked at it yet. We are currently 30 lessons away from finishing OPGTR and before that we finished teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons. I'm not worried about the reading but needed something cheaper for than AAS. Do you use that program with an emphasis on spelling? -

energy2c replied to energy2c's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Thank you Ellie, you have great advice ill start from the beginning. I'm trying to find resources on how to implement it. I bought WRTR and returned it because I was overwhelmed but I'm determined to give it a 2nd try. -

energy2c replied to energy2c's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
If my daughter already knows how to read is it worth going over all the phonograms again in the book? I'm mainly looking at this book for spelling but we could always use more reading practice. -

energy2c replied to energy2c's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
As part of AAS I have the cd with phonograms sounds and letter tiles. I know 4th edition also has perforated cards. What else would I need to implement the program? I've read through many threads about WRTR but I guess I just have to read the book thoroughly to learn how to implement it. -

When to start new curriculum if you school year round?
energy2c replied to energy2c's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
We are on lesson 39 in RS math. I'm not worried about working ahead except in certain things for appropriate age content. I want to work at her pace because if I hold her back she gets bored easily. I tried MFW K as suggested from their company and it now sits on my shelf unused because she was way pass that. I only worry if we work ahead how that may impact the HS transcrips. If we do end up working those classes earlier who knows where she'll be by then. -
When to start new curriculum if you school year round?
energy2c replied to energy2c's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Thanks for the answers many ideas to think about. I'm trying to schedule out breaks around my husbands furloughs. It's hard given that they change every year. I have curriculum I want to add because of course it all looks amazing! But, my main goal is not to kill her love of learning. Just want to make sure I'm not forgetting something or that I'm teaching it in a timely manner.
