I was planning on doing both, and I did have her do the placement test. I think she would be ok with level 2. I just thought they recommended starting both on level 1. Maybe I'm thinking of the spelling. Thanks for your help! I'm fairly new to homeschooling, (finishing up 2nd yr) and haven't heard of AAS/AAR until recently and got super excited when I looked into it. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

My daughter is heading into 2nd grade next year and her reading is pretty good, but I would like to see better fluency and understanding of all the phonics rules. Do I have to start with level 1 before I start spelling? Or can I start them both at the same time? And if she's ready for level 2, can I start her there, or is best to fly through 1 then move onto 2? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

My daughter is finishing up 1st grade, and next year I'm completely changing our curriculum. I've realized throughout this year that she's very much a hands on learner. As part of the switch up, I'm looking into AAS & AAR. Anyone have any thoughts/opinions/personal experiences? Thanks! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Thank you for the input! I think I'm also leaning more towards RS, but still researching both. I currently use Horizon, and like Saxon is spiral learning. I am wanting something with mastery learning that will be well suited for my very hands on 6 yr old. :) Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Anyone use both or either of these and can offer input to each? I've heard some on each and am torn between the 2, looking for a tie breaker. :) Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I've looked more into Right Start, and spoke with someone today who also uses it. She also said she loves it. Thanks for the suggestion! I'm starting to lean in that direction I think. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I'll look into it, thanks! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Does the daily curriculum seem random, or is there logical sense to it? Right now our math is spiral, and I'm not a fan. I want more of a mastery learning. I'm still researching it and others. Thanks for your help! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I have 2 kids, 6 & 3. I've been using Sonlight and Horizon math for 2 yrs, but does not fit my daughter's learning style (she's 6, wiggly, and I'd say a kinesthetic learner). I'm thinking of changing to Konos (very activity based) for the main curriculum and I've narrowed to 3 choices for math- Math U See, Singapore, or Shiller. Does anyone have any input on any of these? I would appreciate pros and cons for any of these, or other suggestions for a wiggly, kinesthetic learner. Thanks! Melanie Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
