Martha in GA Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I am drawn, for some reason, to BJU Reading for my ds and dd, grades 4 and 6, this year. I've never used a reading curriculum before (I have two older children as well). While my children do read for pleasure, and I read aloud to them, we don't really discuss the reading very much, we just enjoy the books. I'm having some trouble getting over the price of the program, too. Is a reading program of value? Is BJU a good program? Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemyblessings Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I'm wondering this as well.:lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Once a child learns to read, I can't see any value in a basal reading program. You can get practice with vocabulary and reading comprehension from content books on history and science. I do think it's worthwhile to begin learning how to talk about literature -- about plot and figurative language and character and such... By older elementary or middle school, it's a good time to start that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
