alisoncooks Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 If I were to do OPGtTR for Kindergarten (5yo), would doing CLE's 1st grade LTR/phonics program be boring or redundant (with it's gentle start and basic phonics)? Or would it be okay b/c of CLE's inclusion of actual WRITING with the phonics/etc...? (Boring or a confidence booster?) Thoughts? I'm interested in trying OPG for the remainder of this year (DD is weak on some letters/sounds) before starting CLE in the fall (already purchased, so that's non-negotiable). TIA!

alisoncooks Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well, after doing some more reading, it looks like it takes quite a while to work through Ordinary Parents Guide.... So, I guess, new question: would it be a good source to help DD learn letter sounds more firmly? And could I either continue on alongside CLE LTR or up until that point (6 solid months of it or so)? Any suggestions? Should I just skip OPGTR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookIslandsMommy Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi there, I started with Hoooked on Phonics and LOVED it...BUT I found that my DD was awesome at reading, but couldn't match up with the writing. So what we did was at 5 years old, we started CLE Learning to Read, just LTR on its own. We spread it out over 1 year. Then this year - now she is Grade 1 (we start school year in January). We are doing CLE Grade 1 Reading and CLE Grade 1 Language Arts. CLE LTR worked brilliantly for us. I wouldn't do anything with it. The Teacher's Guide gives you step by step what to do and you really don't need anything else. Good Luck Sherid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
