GO!  I bought Get Ready, Get Set, and Go for the Code for Charlie this year for his K work.  He finished all three in 3 weeks!  I also bought the level 2 book for Matthew, who usually complains and hates writing.  He gets up every morning and does 2 pages of Explode the Code with no prompting from me and actually enjoys it.  Nathan is asking for his level now so he can do it, to.   *This entry brought to you by Explode the Code. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/amysue/221475/ Tue, 17 Oct 2006 10:37:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/amysue/221475/
