THANK YOU FOR THIS! We did Simply K, and now we’re in the middle of Foundation Phonics for the second half of Kindergarten. We LOVE Masterbooks, and after all of my research I don’t see any other box curriculum that is so truly open and go. With an almost one year old breastfed baby, open and go is mandatory for me! I was getting nervous that I might need to switch curriculum for 1st grade because of all of the reviews I’ve seen saying that Masterbooks is not enough, but this review was the most helpful and thorough that I’ve seen. Your videos were the reason I chose Masterbooks for Kindergarten and now this video is the reason I’m sticking with Masterbooks moving forward. Thanks again.

This is the best review/how to/tips/flip through on LLFLE!!! Excellent! You covered my questions/concerns. Thanks!

This was the single best review I’ve seen. Thank you so much. You answered all my questions, and put all my concerns aside.

Great review. As you were explaining the copy work portion, I thought of an idea. The child can make their own grammar flash cards.

Master Books really needs to offer thorough walk-thrus like this.

Oh my goodness... awesome review. Thank you!

I know this is an older video, and I'm just coming across it now, but this was incredibly helpful! I'm strongly considering Masterbooks for LA but was, in some ways, preparing to suppliment. However, I felt like I'd be supplimenting too much until I stumbled across your video. I still think I'll go a different route for spelling (thinking BJU spelling), but that's it! Thank you for clearing up all the myths and sharing all these tips!

Great video! We have been using levels 2 & 3 this year with 2 of my kids. You pointed out a few things that I can do better. The gentleness to writing has been absolutely excellent! My kids' confidence in Language Arts has grown, which is saying a lot!

I used this with my older daughter and I’m going to use this with my younger daughter this coming year. I rewatched this to support your channel and to refresh my mind about this course. This is such an excellent thorough video on LLFLE! I do supplement spelling with Spelling You See. I hope you are doing okay 💕

You convinced me to give this another try. Thanks! Praying for you! ❤

I so wanted to love this program. We used it for two years and I did k-5th between all my children over those two years. It looks from the overview as if everything will be covered sufficiently- but reality was, it’s not. My children were so frustrated by the presentation of this program and how MB tried to pace it. We ended up abandoning the spelling early on - it didn’t work for us. The words didn’t go well with a spelling rule presented. K was more like pre-k for children who have gone to preschool ( mine had for fun). The phonics presentation in first didn’t work for us and I ended up buying a different program. I would strongly suggest calling and speaking to a rep regarding placement and use and then really look over the books when you get them and make sure it will work for your children.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. As you said no other reviewer goes into these many details. I feel much more confident about my decision to use this curriculum.

This review/tips video was a blessing! I have been back and forth, trying to decide what curriculum to buy. I’ve been leaning towards Masterbooks but like mentioned, all of the negative comments had me second guessing. You clarified everything I had been wondering about. Thanks so much!

This is an extremely well-thought-out and helpful review. It answers all the questions I had about the program and has convinced me to go for it!

this was a great review! I really appreciate it!

This is a wonderful video that helps SO MUCH with breaking down Masterbooks and utilizing the WHOLE BOOK in a very logistical and simplified way. Thanks

Thank you so much for doing this video, this is exactly what I was looking to see if this program covered!

Wow 😮 i wish I would see your review two years ago 🤦🏼‍♀️ but I will start spelling activities immediately with my daughter who is doing level 6 .! Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for this amazing walk through of this course! This is so helpful in exploring whether this would be right for my child❤

Great flip through, very thorough!

Great review. Thanks for the tips. I am currently using TGAB and am so overwhelmed with how long it takes at time. I am considering switching. Thanks for this info

I really needed this. Thank you so much! I’m even more excited to get this curriculum now.

What a terrific review! Thank you. So helpful. I'm ready to order it :)

Another great option is Spelling City. You can plug the word into that website and play free games and even take the test online.

So grateful for this! I was planning on using this for next year but still had unanswered questions after watching all other reviews. Thank you!

Thank you! Since I bought the pdf version and didn't print the whole book yet, I was not aware the spelling words were in the back.

Wow! Thank you! Awesome review 👏

Thank you! This was a very helpful review. I appreciated the detail and did not mind the length at all. :)

This was a super helpful flip through. Thanks!

I bought the DL version of level 4 and rearranged the book into a binder. Great minds think alike! Lol

This is a brilliant review! i used this curriculum this year for my 2nd year old...and worried he wasn't getting enough writing...i was a bit on edge about continuing for the 3rd grade....but your review on the composition was great!

This is a fantastic video, thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this video. It is amazing. I was about to change curriculum but these tips are perfect. 🤗

Awesome review!! Thank you so much for this video!!

Great review !!

Woah! When you said thousands and thousands I was curious and had to come see! You weren’t kidding! My word! Congrats!

Excellent review/how to Best one I've seen, thank you!!!

Very nice review! Thanks for sharing.

P.S. I am not using this program, and have no plans to, however, I just wanted to say that this is the best review/flip-through I’ve seen of it.

That’s exactly what I was setting up to do with spelling. Great minds. I’ve never done LLFLE before but I’m excited

Thank you!!

Best review I've ever seen

Thank you for this video!! I was hesitant to buy because there isn't as many sample pages on their website to get a good feel for it. This was tremendously helpful:)

I really wish I would have watched this "how to" before we completed this program this year. We could have done it sooo much better:(

Great review!

I would like to see a Tips and Tricks video how you work in the bible and poetry memorization in the course.

Thank you.

Awesome review!!! I just purchased this and you have confirmed for me that it is a great match for my granddaughter. It seems to allow many opportunities for me to include the accommodations I have to include in her instruction. This has been very thorough!

This was really helpful, thank you! We have used both this and LLATL this year. My big dilemma is....which one to choose because I really like them both 😄. Have you decided between the two?

Is the Bible Story book, that goes with this, necessary? Can I use another Bible story hook we already have? Or would you say it is better to purchase it?

Has anyone used LLFLE alongside All About Readinh and All About Spelling? I was considering getting level 1 for my son but the reading in there is taught completely different than AAR teaches.

Weird question: Do pens or markers smear on the pages? Some workbook pages are too "glossy" and causes smears.

Does this program review previous lessons while teaching new ones?

do you know if the levels correspond to grade level? level 3 = grade 3?

I have the PDF version. I took the teacher sections "out" via Print to PDF

Great video! I am interested in level 2 for my daughter and my concern is that there is not enough reading and phonics instruction. Can you let me know your thoughts there? Thank you!

When I look at Christian books to order this it says you also need the 101 favorite stories from the Bible? Did you find it necessary?

Great review. You are fantastic! However, I cannot, I’m good faith, do this program again. It looks easy but it does a very poor job of teaching concepts, things were mixed up and there was not enough practice or review. I felt lost, as the adult, in doing this curriculum. And the way things were presented were confusing, and non sensical. Thank God, I was not using LLFALE for reading, the program is horrible for phonics and spelling. I recommend All about reading and spelling. Thanks for this!

Does it include vocabulary?

When I ask my child to write a story she constantly asks how to spell many words or she'll say I can't spell it. So do I just help her spell out every word???

Uh oh. I'm not second guessing myself on using this. We've started level 2 and I'm still tempted to use Learning Language Arts Through Literature because it SEEMS to have more literary analysis using great books and not just the Bible. I know LLFLE has a reading book list but what should we be doing to enrich their learning with those books? Do you know what I mean? I really want to keep loving LLFLE.

Are you still suplimenting spelling with bju? Or finding you need to supplement this with anything else?

I don’t understand how anyone can use this unless you are buying a grade ahead and more likely two grades ahead. It is so behind.
