I don’t know. Maybe look through my other grade flip through to see how they start off and when they do so you see. It comes in more gently than Abeka in my opinion. Pentime is another great option off milestone books website. They have the child trace inside the letters. I may do a flip through soon if pentime cursive and Cle languages arts grade 1 so folks can see the inside. I have a grade 2 Cle video of language arts that you can check out to see the cursive in there.
I'm using Abeka for phonics (k-2). Looking at CLE math, l.a and possibly reading. The lessons look long. Have your children done all the three subjects ( math, l.a and reading) with CLE at one time and not felt overwhelmed with the work load?
I can’t say for sure. Norah did reading and language arts grade 2 and it was fine for her but they are so similar. I think one is great by itself. If you can do both it would probably be a benefit but the two are so similar. It’s as if they both have spelling words and phonics and all that built in so it’s your call.
Thank you! Good to know. I guess If it's too long I can always cross out problems until they get used to the curriculum. I love how CLE teachers manuals are not so wordy. It's short and sweet and to the point. Thanks again for the reviews and flip throughs.
This was VERY helpful. We currently use Abeka but I am considering switching to CLE since it is self-guided. I like Abeka but my daughter is getting bored with the Abeka videos. You stated that Abeka's spelling words might be more challenging. What about the curriculim overall? Is CLE on the same level as far as a challenge or somewhat behind?
I think Abeka and Cle are the same after grade 1 with grammar and spelling. I think Abeka and Cle don’t push writing as much as bju press does in the younger grades. Like bju press does one chapter grammar. One chapter spelling. Back and forth beginning in grade 2 I believe. Abeka and Cle are similar in many ways. I think cle spelling is good.
@@driftingforward I don’t know how to do that. Lol. I don’t even know how to edit videos right now. Haha. But the videos have title saying Cle or Christian light so that makes it easy.
Great question, I wondered about that myself. I think having kids read good books, while you point out the use of the parts of speech, grammar and punctuation goes a long way. My 3rd grade granddaughter knows spelling not from rules, but by recognizing the words from lots of reading.
@@thewordrules Yeah whatever works for each family is best! You dont even have to have curriculum. I just started with their reading and bought other items from them.
Best review and most helpful. Im not interested on just the format of a curriculum but also the content. Thanks so much
Thank you!!
I love the binder idea! I think I might do that!
Super helpful! Thank you for making these videos. It has greatly helped me in choosing the right curriculum for my children.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing, just what I was wanting to see!
Oh good!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you
Thanks a lot!
Your welcome
this was SO helpful!
Thank you. That’s motivation for myself to continue making videos like this.
Yeah, Abeka is $154 for the parent kit, and $302 for the student kit for grade 3. OUCH! $$$$
Yeah it’s pricey.
😂😂😂hahahahah
I see they have penmanship in the packets. So do you need the extra penmanship book they offer?
Will we have a problem if our son hasn’t learned cursive yet? I notice there is full cursive copy work in the 307 book.

Can you share more of the higher grades of CLE? thank you
If you see my other videos I have some other grades in there too!
@@lifewithashleynoah9893 Can you link them please? thank you

Are the pages perforated?
No. They come in little workbooks.
Do you feel like it is necessary to also include the CLE READING curriculum with the CLE LANGUAGE ARS?
No you don’t have to.
