blessedmom3 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I am considering CLE LA for 2nd grade . I am looking at their samples and I am not satisfied with their Penmanship . Also , the spelling seems too easy. Anyone is using CLE LA with another program for spelling and/or penmanship ? I like better New American cursive for handwriting.

Tree House Academy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 We are using New American Cursive with CLE LA 100. I am okay with their spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedmom3 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Rebecca, Does your child leave the penmanship pages from CLE blank or does he complete them too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 He leaves them blank for now. My older son is doing CLE LA 3 and I have him go ahead and do the writing (it is more like copywork at this point) but use his own style of cursive and not theirs. I do not grade it closely...I just make sure it is legible and neat. If I can read it and the letters look nice, then I am not going to freak out over slant (or lack thereof), curly doodles on the letters, or anything else. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm using CLE 2 with my daughter and I'm not using their penmanship. My daughter has been happy with A Reason for Handwriting, so we're just continuing on with that. Prior to CLE, I had been doing SWR with her, so CLE spelling is quite a change. She is a natural speller though, so I think it's going to be okay. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
