SewLittleTime Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 When is level 2 coming out? How many levels will there be? What is the time frame for those levels being released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom&nana Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well website says that Level 2 is due to be released September 2012. I have heard that there will be 8 levels. I think they plan to release 1 or 2 a year, but again, that is just what I have read before at the forum over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SewLittleTime Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 8 levels? Seriously!? I'm trying to decide what to do with my princess. I don't need another reading program. But yet, I do. :lol: The thing is I'm bored with what I have. She is a different kind of leaner than her brothers, and I think she would love the puppet in the pre-level. She is very bright, and I don't expect that she will stay in the pre-level long. My other concern is that she will move quicker than the levels come out. I love AAS and the reading program looks just a good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) The 8 levels include pre level 1 so the last one in the series will actually be level 7. Levels 1-4 are supposed to be the completion of the phonics portion. Levels 5-7 are supposed to work on comprehension and fluency. We recently started level 1 and with level 2 being released in Sept I think we will hopefully not go faster than they finish level 3. However, even if we only get to level 2 and have to switch to something else, I will still be glad that we got to use the multi sensory, writing-free, synthetic phonics stuff for the lower levels.

Thanks for this! I think I'm going to go ahead and give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicMom Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have also decided to do this with my son, who needs something writing free and hands on and i know he will love the puppet but will, too, move ahead quickly through it. so i'm happy to hear that there will be more levels with this style... random question though... does anyone know if they use a white board for the pre-reading? it doesn't SEEM like they do until level 1, but just curious...

OrganicMom Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 question... AAS seems to have alot of phonics... wouldn't all the AAR levels have a lot of overlap? does it have any overlap now? I have only done AAS 1 and have not purchased yet the pre reading level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've completed Pre-1 and are about 75% through Level 1. You do *not* use the white board and tiles in Pre-1. You *do* use it in Level 1. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
