Any updates on LoE Essentials? I am about to press the "buy" button, but still not quite sure. I want to use LoE Essentials with my upper elementary children for spelling benefits. I like that LoE teaches that "y" and "i" have a long /E/ sound as SWR/Spalding do not. There are several other reasons that pull me towards LoE. One moment I am thinking LoE and then I read something on Spalding or SWR that makes me consider those. I believe SWR has many levels to carry us through many years of spelling practice of the phonograms. However, I am not so sure that LoE will benefit us more than the 40 lessons in Essentials.
Does anyone know iff LoE can continue to be used through the years with guided practice of the program and spelling words that continue to increase in difficulty? Obviously, I can choose my own words, use Spelling Power, or maybe the W.I.S.E guide in conjunction, but I would like to think that I could continue with some guidance from LoE through a few years of spelling.
I am wondering if: abidnginhim and lorisuewho
are still using LoE. Also, what are their pros and cons.
Any help would be lovely!!!
