Elizabeth86 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think I'm set on abeka, most everyone agrees it is a great phonics program. How about the whole language arts kit. Is it just fine for 1st grade? Would you make any substitutions or just go all abeka? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Depends on the child . . I'm not currently using Abeka but I have in the past. There is a LOT of writing! I have a seven year old who would love it (at least for a week - LOL!) because she loves workbooks. My 9 year old would have been in open rebellion after the first day. I have used ABEKA phonics in the past but modified it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLife Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I agree. It depends on the child and if you are planning on using any other materials for language arts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLife Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) For example, you could Abeka for phonics and spelling and FLL/WWE for grammar and writing. We are currently using Abeka phonics and spelling, Shurley 1, WWE 1. If you go with the full Abeka Language kit, I wouldn't try to add in any additional writing or grammar.
