imagine.more Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Has anyone used AAR Pre-reading with their Preschool/Kindergarten student and combined/switched up the order of lessons? It seems tedious to go through all 26 letters in capital form, then all 26 in lowercase, then all 26 sounds separately but I don't want to rush too much if there's some good reason for introducing them in this way. I was considering using it like a Letter of the Week format and introducing one letter per week using all 3 of the lessons for that letter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2bee Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I would do as you are suggesting and introduce letters and sounds together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssavings Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I own it and have always wondered the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I tried doing it as written, then quickly switched to how you've described. It worked well that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do a letter of the week format, but it's important to keep the "Language Exploration" parts of each lesson sequential--these build on each other, so you don't want to change the order for them. For more information and to find out why the letters are introduced this way, check out this thread from the AALP Forum. HTH some! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do that then, thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenDaisies Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I started with the capitals and then did lowercase and sounds together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
