A home for their hearts Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Has anyone used AAR level 2 with an older student? I'm considering using it with my ds12 but I'm wondering if the activities in it would seem to babyish for him? Could we use it without the activity book?

Arboreal TJ Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 You'll want the activity book for the fluency pages, just skip the activities if your DS doesn't enjoy them. Whether it seems babyish or not will depend on the 12 yr old, I think he may enjoy some of them. I personally am done with the word flappers, but everything else I enjoy doing with my kids. I have a friend remediating a 9 yr old with AAR1 and she praises the program! (FYI the 9 yr old is her son and she has a BA in Elementary Education.)

I am actually using AAR 1 with my ds8, (he's almost 9), he seems to enjoy the activity pages however I'm not seeing a lot of progress with his reading.
