Mama2two Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Anyone using and can share some thoughts for AAR pre/level1? What age are you using it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's officially for preschool and kindergarten, but I've heard kids as young as 2 tagging along & doing a fair amount, and kids as old as 9 with significant delays benefitting from it.

Arboreal TJ Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It depends on the child. When my DD was 2.5 she was begging to do school so we started AAR Pre1. It was slow glowing at first but it's clicking now. She may be ready for AAR1 next Fall at age 3.5. My boys started AAR1 just before they turned 6, they didn't do the Pre1. My boys would NOT have done well with AAR1 if we had started much earlier. I don't think you can go wrong with the Pre1 as long as you don't have expectations. I wouldn't start AAR1 until the child can identify letters and most of their sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellen Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I agree that it depends on the child. In addition to learning letters and letter sounds, there is also rhyming, syllable counting, and recognizing letter sounds in words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I use it primarily with my 5 year old but when I was babysitting still I was using it with the other kids as young as 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 My dd started it at 3.5. She'll be 4 next month and should finish by summer. She's pretty motivated to work on it. With my son I started it when he was closer to 4. Love it!! It has helped with Pre-reading skills so much and now my son is making slow but steady progress through Level 1. I hope to start Level 2 sometime this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByGrace3 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Totally agree it depends on the child. My 5 yo used it at the beginning of K. Finished in about 6 weeks, but it was very worth it. My 3 yo just started it but we will go slowly. It is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
