You have a lot of interesting ones to check into but I love five in a row as well, don’t feel like I’ve used to to them best advantage, only second year homeschooling, so trying to figure everything out, and I plan too much I think for my young kids, two which are special needs, so still learning but as of now five in a row is definitely a favorite!

I have a busy-body 8-year-old and he needs something more tactile. There's just tooooooo much to research and try!! 🙃

Love alot of these! I have just recently looked into CLE. I got the LTR level. Since you have used it maybe you can answer my question. In looking through I'm concerned the way they have the child find how the word phonetically sounds will confuse my children when just starting out learning to read. exp. having them match "Said" to "sed". or "above" to "ubuv" (idk if these exact ones are in the curriculum its just to give exp.) Did this type of thing help or confuse your children with CLE LA and reading?

That’s great! I love LTR! No, I really don’t remember that ever being a problem. It wasn’t confusing for my girls.

I purchased CLE reading for my 2nd grader thanks to you and Pennies and Salt. Your videos have been super helpful. My question for you is would you recommend CLE reading program for fourth and fifth grade even if you don’t feel your kiddos need help with reading per se? Do you think it still would be a miss not to give them something structured like that? And perhaps I ask this question without really understanding all that’s involved with their reading program. I love what I see in the second grade, so it makes me interested for my older two. Thank you for any insight.

@ourthriftyhomeschool 2 жыл бұрын

Awww that’s awesome! I would definitely say to keep doing the reading program in the upper grades! I love their reading program and my girls are all very strong readers. Once you get into the higher levels of elementary and beyond it’s not about learning to read, it’s about comprehension and learning all the components of reading. I did a more in depth review about their reading program that might help. I’ll link it below.
