primaknits Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 My son is over half way through the second book of Sing, Spell, Read, and Write. I was just wondering for those of you who have already "been there", what curriculum did you use next? We are using Horizons for math, and it would be nice to stick with an author I know but I want to make sure that the transition from SSRW works well for him. Thanks!

Kathryn Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Which level? We did K/1 and at the end of it, my son was reading long chapter books on his own. He didn't need any more reading instruction. We've used Sonlight Readers since then and we did use some ETC books to review, but only because he saw them and liked them. We didn't use the spelling part of the program for long, so we moved into AAS last year. We also didn't use the writing part (either penmanship or the prompts), and for that we use HWT, WWE and WWW.

Jess4879 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 We used level K/1 and then moved on to AAS, HWT, BJU English and ETC workbooks (only because my DD loves them!) We also have a couple other elements we've done for Language Arts over the years, but I can't think of them for some reason. There is a SSR & W Level 2.

primaknits Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 We are using the K/1 level. :) I'm kind of new here and don't understand all the abreviations you are using for the programs you have listed? I know what BJU is, and I've heard of Sonlight but I don't know what the rest are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sorry, what we use: All About Spelling Handwriting Without Tears Sonlights Readers Writing With Ease (if I had to pick one writing program, this one) Winning With Writing We also do grammar: First Language Lessons (if I had to pick one, I'd pick this) Growing With Grammar Oh, and ETC is Explode the Code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherinTenn Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I've used SSRW with both of my children, and then we started using First Language Lessons, and Writing with Ease. My dd 9, flew threw SSRW, and took to the rest easily, but my ds 8 took longer. He doesn't like to write (still doesn't). He enjoyed FLL, because we did that orally,but WWE has taken him longer to enjoy. I am just starting AAS with him this year, because I want to reinforce the rules with him, and he has been kind of a lazy reader.
