It was a wonderful way to begin homeschooling. We also loved Kiwi Crate, Kidstir, and Sparkle Stories.

We all hated it when my eldest was little — we used a Vertical Phonics program and McGuffey’s Readers instead … thankfully that’s one of the beauties of homeschooling, love posts like these about items that have helped you but it’s ok if they don’t work for every family! 😀

We love Learning Ally as well! It is a lovely resource. If you do not qualify for learning ally, I would also check out kindle’s unlimited plan which will allow you to use whispernet (basically audible.com) along with the book and books on CD from the library-all wonderful resources. Thank you again for the suggestions!

I never would have picked it up, but someone i know in our homeschooling group recommended it and i was curious. It suits my boy perfectly. Funny how life does that! Glad i was open to it, because it was just what was needed. We’re almost halfway through and i thoroughly recommend it.

I would also suggest another reading program for struggling readers- All About Reading. This wonderful program helped when expensive tutors failed. There are great readers that go along, beautifully illustrated. One other recommendation for a gentle approach to literature is Five In a Row.

It never fails to amaze us how many kids and families we’re serving in the home school space. We are blessed to have so many dedicated supporters including volunteers whose voices bring books to life for the benefit of students who learn differently.

I can definitely see how using 100 Easy Lessons with a younger child, as many people do, could create conflict. I think part of our success is that Elijah is 8 and he has “bought into” the process for himself a lot more. Meaning he’s chosen to engage with it, which I think comes harder to a 5 or 6 year old.

No I know cursive! I just enjoy teaching her with this book. =)
