rachelpants Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Does anyone have experience with both curriculums? I'm wondering if there is any difference in the phonograms or marking systems between the two programs. Thank you for any help! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveBaby Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Off the top of my head and I cant' think of any differences in phonograms. I will have to check again about the markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 No, PR is a Spalding program. It implements the WRTR almost entirely as written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 No, PR is a Spalding program. It implements the WRTR almost entirely as written. :iagree:but I think I saw one tiny difference and that is, in PR, the silent final e is crossed out (Spalding does a double underline). There may be more little differences, but, overall, they are insignificant. I read a post yesterday that said the word list is almost identical.

Ellie Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 No, PR is a Spalding program. It implements the WRTR almost entirely as written. Thre is only one Spalding. Its manual is WRTR. :-) Mrs. Beers began as a Spalding teacher (not certified, but she did Spalding with her children). There's along story on how she came to write PR. At any rate, PR is a Spalding spin-off, or a Spalding look-alike, but it isn't a "Spalding program." I just figure it's best to stick with the original: Spalding. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelpants Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thank you all for the help! I've been reading through The WRTR, but I love the idea of a complete LA program (so I am tempted by PR). My first child, DS (almost 6) will start Kindy this fall. This would be our first year homeschooling (if I go through with it :tongue_smilie:). LOL. I'm loving all the help on this forum! Thank you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z2_mom Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have read through the WRTR and just always feel like I am missing something. I really just want the spelling portions of Phonics Road. lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
