Same. And it definitely takes way less than an hour.

Wow, I love hearing from people like you who actually worked in a school as reading interventionist. My daughter is 7 and reads for hours, so the curriculum has definitely worked for her.

Why one and 3 and not 2?

How religious is it? Would you recommend it for a non-Christian theistic family? (Jewish, Muslim, Unitarian, etc)

@@mujtabaalam5907 Probably because she is doing it with two different kids at different levels. It is overtly Christian, but I know there are social media groups for Jews using TGTB or other religions using TGTB.

You got it. Its best to be prepared.

What do you mean by way too much? I use TGTB and think it's great.

​@@mirsaesGosh, it's almost like every family is different and what works for one won't work for the other. SMH

@@katie7748 Really? I never would have guessed! Being vague is not helpful to anyone when chosing curriculum. Thanks for your non-informational and sarcastic comment.

Yes! Agreed!!

Same here! exactly

Me three!

Me too

As someone who went through IEW and went to college at 16, placed into college level English and got an A with not too much stress or effort in my first English class I can say it works. All my siblings and I did great in college, however, I HATED it. It was super annoying doing all the openers and clauses and the KWO got annoying too, but it works. I learned to write super well and looking at specifically writing curriculums for an 11 year old I am now tutoring I will reluctantly admit that IEW seems to be one of the best curriculums when it comes to writing.

I agree Bethany! Love rewatching this video!

We use and love AAR!!💗

Seems like you could get sample pages to try

I so appreciate your comment! I feel that is so strange that in Rebecca's videos about curriculums, often she makes comments abouts the TG&TB as not a being a good fit because it's written by an member of The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints' author. As you have mentioned, Christianity has such a wide range of different beliefs, but what brings us together is the love we have for Christ, and His Atonement Sacrifice for us. Now, being a member of the LDS Church, I have no problem using a CM curriculum, even though she didn't go to the same church that I go, but again, the love we have for the Word of God, and for Jesus Christ is what we have in common. The TG&TB is a great curriculum, it is beautiful, it has great Christian values, and that is what it's important. Regardless of religion, I don't think that any curriculum should be used alone to indoctrinate our children. They are to teach academics, and to serve as a reminder of the Christian values we learn inside of our home, and give us the opportunity to discuss them with our children. I do have some of TG&TB material, however it wasn't exactly a good fit for more older child, so I moved on to try others Christian curriculum. I know that it might sound bias, but I have to say though that TG&TB has nothing but beauty, and great loving Christlike values. It can not be said, it isn't a Christian curriculum, just because the author doesn't go to the same church you go. I see that as prejudicism, and this is not a Christlike attitude.

Thank you to those who have voiced the fact that TGTB IS Christian based! The Church of Jesus Christ religion IS a religion about Christ - the same Christ as taught in the Bible. We believe and teach from his teachings from that very resource. Not saying anyone should be pushed to use this curriculum but at least give the credit of a great curriculum with an amazing and wonderful tone of full Christian values and material. Sad.

I’m not LDS but I am a Christian who learned not to judge to certain denominations or groups as not “True Christians” because we don’t share the same doctrinal views, it’s not up to us to decide that anyway. God will be the final judge in all matters. If someone tells me they follow Christ then I treat them as a fellow brother or sister in Christ. Now regarding TGTB a lot of people discover Jenny Phillips is LDS and immediately throw the baby out with the bath water. There is nothing in TGTB that pushes any agenda other than the Bible. And thats one of the many things I love about it.

We must follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and not of another man. The Holy Bible is the infallible Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 4:4; Matthew 24:35; Revelation 22:18-19), and Jesus IS the Word that became flesh (John 1:14). Yes, Jesus loves everyone and He did not come into this world to condemn the world nor to judge the world (John 3:17; John 12:47). Jesus was sent to the world to save us. But in order to be saved, we must look to Him and believe in Him! Believe that He is the Son of God, that He is the Christ. And we must be born again (John 3:3). The seal of our salvation is the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). I say all this just to say that I do not know what you believe in your heart. Only God can judge that. But I do know that when you abide in Christ, your life will produce good fruit. I know that you will pass through trials and through tribulations and through injustices, because if they did it to Christ they will do it to us that believe. However, I once heard a very powerful preaching that said: There are two types of Christians: Those who are truly saved, And those who truly believe that they are. I highly suggest that you ask the LORD to reveal Himself to you. Ask Him to point out anything in your heart that offends Him. Pray that He would deliver you from any unbelief, from all deception. In Jesus’s name. We can not be confident of our salvation because of any works or sacraments. That is a big deception and lie of the enemy. We cannot be confident of our salvation just because we feed the poor and are kind to others. No. The Bible is clear. For three years now, the LORD has had me praying about the deception in the church to be exposed. That we all may be united in the name of Jesus Christ alone. That we would forgo anything that is not pleasing to Him. I have been praying for a reverent fear of the LORD to return to the church. For those who call themselves Christian to not lean on their own understanding or wisdom, but to fully deny themselves and to trust completely in the LORD. Many love and blessings to you all!

I respectfully and humbly post the following link to explain why some folks say that LDS isn't Christian. reason why some argue this point of view can be found here: www.namb.net/apologetics/resource/comparison-chart-mormonism-and-christianity/
