Silverwood Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 My son (7) is currently using CLE Reading 1 and is doing ok but still struggling. He still does not know all of his phonograms and we are having to move very slowly through the program so he doesn't forget what we do learn. I am afraid he isn't really learning how to decode words at this point, although he can read with ease the ones listed in his program. My dd (9) is using ELTL and we love it, so I am thinking of trying RLTL with ds. My questions: Is it difficult to teach children how to mark their words? My understanding is that RLTL is similar to the Spalding method in that respect. How difficult is it to teach? Does it take one year to move through one book? Thanks in advance!

Silverwood Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Also, how does it compare to WRTR (as far as ease of use and teaching)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Very easy to teach. My son understood the markings at 5. I have no experience with WRTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 RLTL and WRTR both seem very malleable. If you want to be bossed around I'd get Logic of English or All About Reading/Spelling. I did not find RLTL to be intimidating at all and have no problem recommending it. Ellie (our resident Spalding geek) would recommend you read WRTR volume 4 and use Spalding. If you PM her she's incredibly helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
