mo2 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I realize that AAS can be used as a reading instruction program by itself, but dd needs more than that. What phonics program would work well alongside AAS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 We used OPGTR alongside AAS for a while. It is very thorough. The only reason we quit was that dd learned best by spelling and I felt like we didn't need to be doing both AAS and OPGTR. I've kept it to pull out if and when we need reinforcement. I wrote the words and sentences on a white board because looking at the book was overwhelming for dd. We also use Happy Phonics for fun. DD loves the games.

CourtneySue Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I was trying to use AAS for teaching reading, but found it to be more complex for that purpose than was necessary. I recently bought Alpha Phonics and I don't think I've seen a phonics curriculum that is so simple and easy to use and my son is actually starting to read;-) I do think AAS is a great curriculum and look forward to using it for spelling. I love that it will help reinforce the phonics rules and teach spelling at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfside Academy Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've been very happy with Phonic Pathways. It's an inexpensive program that you can just open up and go. It's mostly oral which is a nice balance w/ the AAS which requires more writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've always thought Reading Reflex would mesh well with it. I used RR when I was teaching my kids to read--it's also based on the OG phonograms, and encourages the use of letter tiles etc...

siloam Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I realize that AAS can be used as a reading instruction program by itself, but dd needs more than that. What phonics program would work well alongside AAS? SL LA level 1 and AAS 1 lines up to cover similar material. They also schedule in Explode the Code books.
