EJCMom Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 My DD finished OPGTR today! :party: Now what? What have you used with your kids when they finished their main phonics curriculum? Do you just have them do lots of reading, or do you move on to some other kind of formal instruction to reinforce rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jer2911mom Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've liked CLE LA 100 this year to reinforce the rules. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanikit Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Lots of reading gradually increasing reading stamina and then start spelling once writing acceptably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenR Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 My dd recently finished and we celebrated by getting ice cream and going swimming. Now we are just continuing with AAS and lots of reading. I do the nightly read alouds still and plan to continue doing that but she has picked up on her own reading. Plus she reads a lot to her older sisters. And another neat thing that happened is she asked if she could play "teacher" to her younger sister and start teaching her OPGTR. I was nervous about it but since Mira has already been through the whole book with me, she gets the format. She has been doing great teaching Stella. I sit there and "supervise" but they really do only require minimal assistance from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbakos Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Congrats. :) My ds is starting section 5 this week. He'll move on to a spelling program (spelling workout a) when finished and continue with daily reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyfulhomeschooler Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I was told to just have my son read read read when done. So that is what we did. He is now having trouble with big multisyllable words two years afer finishing OPGTR so my recommendation would be to work on that. Syllable rules and not just the easy words. I would take the last few lessons of OPGTR and expand on those. We are now going back to do that in third grade. I wish I had done it back n 1st when we finished up OPGTR it would have saved him some frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALB Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Congratulations! We did some ETC workbooks just to review and reinforce the phonics, but dropped them after awhile. I agree with everyone who said to just read! (And do spelling and grammar, too :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
