jg_puppy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Has anyone used this program? What parts do you need? I know it uses ETC books. Does anyone know if there is a chart somewhere that has the ETC books coordinated to the levels of PAF? I can't figure out which ETC books are used the which levels of PAF.

PrincessAriel Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I haven't used it but I went to the EPS site and didn't see that they used ETC books. There were others listed but not those....just wondering where you saw that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg_puppy Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 I first read about it on a thread here. I noticed it mentioned using them on the PAF blank lesson plan. It just didn't say which ones. I finally found some information on Rainbow Resources page. This information is given in the description of the PAF sampler that Rainbow Resource sells. Additional materials needed at K level are Ready to Read and Alphabet Picture Cards. Grade 1 Level requires Stepping Up in Reading Book 1, PAF Handwriting Program for Print, PAF Handwriting Program for Numerals, Alphabet and Key Word Picture Cards, Merill Readers A-D, Skills Books A-D and Explode the Code 1-2. Grade 2 Level requires Stepping Up in Reading Book 2, PAF Handwriting Program for Cursive (optional), Merrill Readers E-F, Skills Books E-F and Explode the Code 2-3. Grade 3 requires Stepping Up in Reading Book 3, PAF Handwriting Program for Cursive, Key Word Picture Cards, PAF Cursive Wall Strip or Cursive Alphabet Picture Cards, Merrill Readers G-H, Skills Books G-H, Explode the Code 4½, 6, 7, 8, and Megawords 2. My son is using ABCD A-1 at the moment and will shortly start A-2. I don't think we will continue with ABCD because it looks like B introduces too many things at one. I love the ETC books, but they generally don't offer enough practice for him. That is part of the reason I started looking at this program.

siloam Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 There is at least one gal on the Heart of Reading yahoo group who is using it, if you wanted to join that group. I do know from her posts that the program is child paced, so you can take longer or less time on a topic. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
