Very helpful review! Thank you!

[@LeslieMaddox]

I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

This looks like a really good program. (It's also famous, so it must be good!)

[@LeslieMaddox]

It's been good for us, but I like a consistent, predictable curriculum. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the review, what language Arts do you use with this?

[@LeslieMaddox]

I've used different things. For handwriting, I like Handwriting Without Tears. For spelling, I like All About Spelling and Evan-Moor's Building Spelling Skills. For writing, WriteShop Primary Junior is a good option. We're going to use Evan-Moor for spelling, writing, and grammar this coming up year. Thanks for watching!

My son is on the first grade level. Which other reading materials would you recommend? He is 5 and I don't want to rush to the second grade level yet.

Besides going through the Hooked on Phonics books, I always had a book list that we worked through. So we would spend a few minutes in Hooked on Phonics, then read out of his current book list book. That was the most helpful way to go about it for us. Even then, my youngest did finish the second grade level during first grade, and I really wasn't rushing it. Just going at his pace. That's the beauty of homeschooling. You can see more about how I taught reading in first grade in this video: czcams.com/video/AxC3TpD-5_s/video.html
