jerrysgal4ever Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I'm planning for next year and right now my two main choices for LA are WOL and Shurley. My 2 girls- 9-year-old daughter is very bright/gifted and quirky, possibly ASD or ADHD, and 15-year-old daughter who has significant learning disabilities in language arts- reading at a 3-4th grade level, and spelling 1-2nd grade level, and writes very primitively. I am almost thinking to use the same level of whatever with them. This year we are using TGTB- younger in level 2 and older in level 3. It's been going fair but I'm not totally happy with it. 9-year-old refuses about half of it, hates the readers, doesn't want to do any of the cutesy spelling activities. (Although I am fairly certain she's be okay with the recitation/jingles in the 2 above programs- she likes singing and memorizing). I don't see too many recent posts about either of these 2 programs so if anyone is currently using them, I'd love some feedback, pros, cons, other options. Thanks so much!

Green Bean Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) I asked about WOL a bit ago. I didn’t get a single positive response. In my perusing, WOL looks like a slimmed down Shurley. It’s on my short list for 5 yr old in a few years. If your 9yr old is gifted, look at Michael Clay Thompson Lang. Arts. Here is a recent thread: https://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/709750-wow-talk-to-me-about-michael-clay-thompson-language-arts/ And my thread asking about both: https://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/716663-cap-wol-and-mct/ And the website: https://www.rfwp.com/mct-language-arts HTH!
