Thanks for all of your input ladies! It seems like he probably will be ready for it, I'll just have to take the $7 jump to get the 1st workbook and see if he likes it. He really enjoys all the X-ing out, and drawing lines to matching letters, etc, hopefully they'll be enough of that element in the regular series as well.
B&W's no problem for him, I've been letting him to the primers in colored marker but I think I make make him switch to pencil after the primers, if we do end up buying all EIGHT of the regular books I'd like to be able to erase and re-use the series instead of re buying. And if It doesn't work out then we'll look into something else.
Thanks again, you're all awesome :laugh:

Oh and about our schoolig in general, during baby's nap we do the 26 abc flash cards(goes by quick!), 4 ETC pages and 4 Kumon maze or tracing pages, then sometimes a random math or pinterest activity :) Takes about 20 minutes.
We're also just now jumping into FIAR/BFIAR but I don'e tell him that's "school" we just do it whenever.

I'm wondering if my son will be ready for Explode the Code 1 right after finishing the primer series. He's almost 4 and we're midway through book B. I was truly surprised at how quickly we flew through the 1st book A (at a rate of 4 pages per day).
Has anyone gone from the primer on that could tell me of your experience? I've heard that they're copy/trace work intensive, but I don't mind doing that for him, I'm trying to teach him to read right now, not write.
Oh and as a note he knows ALL the consonant and short vowel sounds very well, so right now he's getting all the ETC exercises correct no problem, but I appreciate the deep reinforcement.
1st post,long time lurker! <3

More good ideas, thank you! We also own Happy Phonics but haven't used much of it beyond the abc flashcards and lowercase- caps match games. I'm just psyched for the day DS reads out his 1st cvc word, however it comes about!
