Tmhearn Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I have seen general recommendations to continue phonics through the 4th grade. Does that mean through a 4th grade reading level or through the year of the 4th grade? I'm not sure where to go next. We completed OPGTR. We are about to do ETC Book 8. We are about to start Spelling Workout Book C (1 lesson a week). We do FLL 2 (3 lessons a week). We do WWE Year 2 (2 lessons a week). We do read-alouds and silent reading daily. I try to mix the history we are studying with something more fun for the reading. She doesn't really have any specific problem areas right now. I think her reading is pretty solid for her age. She is reading Ramona the Pest right now. She can read 5-6 pages at a time before she tires out. I think that's normal, right? Should we do Beyond the Code? I've read mixed reviews. Should we start Latin? Should we do a root word study like Dynamic Literacy? Thanks for the help! Taryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 How old is she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmhearn Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 She just turned 7. She is entering 2nd grade. I guess my main question is, "What should be replacing the time spent on phonics instruction?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
