MerryAtHope Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 We have finished AAR-Pre-1 and are starting AAR 1 with my 6 year old DD. At what point should I add in AAS 1? After AAR 1 is the time the author recommends. If your child is very interested in writing and spelling, you could start sooner. The first few steps of AAS 1 quickly review concepts that are taught more gradually throughout AAR 1. Anyway, unless you're in a hurry to add in spelling, wait until after AAR 1. HTH!

bethben Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I've waited until they are able to read easily. I started ds#3 with AAS when he was reading well - he zoomed through the first level and is now on level 3. There's no rush. Now, with my dd, I will definitely wait until she is a lot more fluent. I don't want to frustrate her. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of boys Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I agree. We finished AAR and started AAS 1 and it has been a great transistion. I don't feel we even need to do AAR2 or beyond now that we are into AAS. I am just going to use the AAR readers with AAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
