Writing the Road to Reading

Posted in School

I think this might be the best reading course there is. I love it, my girls love it. They both (Katelyn and Breanna) work together at the same time, on different levels and it totally WORKS! Unit studies did not work last year, but if this is an indicator, we are going back to them.
Katelyn is much farther then Breanna, but we do a  review for 5-10 mins which is Breanna's main lesson, then we do 5-10 mins on the next lesson, Breanna either does her writing then or pays some attention to Katelyn's lesson. Then Katelyn does her writing and reading and when Breanna is done I read her an earlier reader. Katelyn is reading some of them, but only to her sisters when she wants too. She is still a shy reader and doesn't like reading as much as being read to. Think she can get wrapped in to the book if someone is reading it instead of her reading it still at this point.

Course math is going well, and Faith and Life is an incredible religion course too. Science and History we are starting to add some. I like the classical approach, but will probably stay with what I have.
Danelle is doing more and more with us, I think by Jan she will need her own books.
