Staceyshoe Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 My son is close to finishing up McRuffy phonics. He really enjoys the workbook pages with the little word sliders, cutting and gluing, word matching, word find puzzles, etc. I don't plan to continue with McRuffy because the next level looks like it requires a lot of writing, which he is nowhere near ready for. I've thought about switching to OPGTR, but I think he will miss the workbook aspect. I can hunt around for printables on Pinterest and such, but I'd love something a little more open-and-go. If the sequence is a little different, that's fine. I don't mind skipping around within a workbook. But coming up with everything on my own would take more time than I feel I have. Is there anything you recommend that would have some little workbook pages to supplement OPGTR but doesn't require a lot of writing (circling, drawing lines to match two columns, and a teeny-tiny bit of writing letters would be fine for him)?

kama Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Lots of people us ETC (explode the code) along with OPG. There is quite a bit of writing but it also has activities like circling drawing lines ect, I just have my daughter do the writing pages verbally with me.

skeeterbug Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 ETC books A, B, C. You can always skip some of the writing, or use letter stamps for some of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceyshoe Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 This might be the first time I've posted a question and received a unanimous response here. :) I looked up some samples of ETC online, and it does look like exactly what we need. Thank you both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Another vote for ETC. You may also like the pre k workbooks you can find at WalMart. Evan Moor Skills Sharpeners have more cut and paste and color activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Similar to ETC (and from the same publishers) is Primary Phonics. The workbooks are inexpensive and they have lots of repetition/practice. I like them better than ETC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
