Hello everyone, I'm new here! I have 5 little ones ages 8 and under, and a new one due in June.
Anyway, my question is about All About Reading. i have looked over the curriculum and really like what I see. But, it is expensive, so before I take the plunge and spent close to $200 (as this will be to use with 2 children at this time), I am looking for some testimonies. There seem to be quite a few good testimonies for AAS, but I guess since AAR is fairly new, I just can't find much.
I am interested in hearing how people have implemented this program. Do you do a full lesson each day? Do you spread out lessons over 2-3 days and add other activities in? Is it working well?
Just for some background information. I intend to use this with my 4 and just turned 6 year old. My 4 year old is actually a tad more advanced then my 6 year old. She already can read at a beginning second grade level, but needs work with fluency, and definitely needs more work on phonics beyond the beginning stages. My 6 year old is reading at a mid first grade level and definitely needs more work with fluency. She does well sounding out 3 letter words, but anything more then that overwhelms her. I think they can likely progress well at the same pace though.
Okay, looking for throughts on this curriculum.
Thanks,
Laurie
