Allie Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Talk to me about TGTB at the primer or k level for language arts. Pros? Cons? I was leaning toward using it but then saw some reviews saying it was all over the place, incomplete, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjand6more Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I know some levels have been revised. I use the older sets. Pre K-level 2. I love TG&TB for this age range. Yeah, it's a little frustrating the way the older version is laid out. Some lessons are super short, others are super long. I just work on it for 20 or so minutes a day. Sometimes we get through a lesson or 2, sometimes not even 1. It is SO gentle and my kids who have been SO resistant to reading programs have loved it. The stories are so sweet, short and fun. Even the word lists are made to be fun. I have DREADED teaching reading to the first three homeschoolers. The last 2 (with TG&TB) have been a breeze. I tried it for my 4th grader last year and we dropped it. I did not care for the way spelling was taught. It didn't seem to translate well when I tried to use it more independently. I sit with my littles through every lesson. And, some talk of certain books leading to bad character -well, since I'm the one reading that, I just skip it.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Good job with phonics, lousy with spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
