Re: Finished The Reading Lesson and Needs more Phonics

I just want to chime in a bit and say that our son really struggled with reading when he was younger. He was diagnosed with dyslexia in 3rd grade. Dyslexia really means "trouble with words". He is now 17. He is a decent reader but he does not enjoy reading. I could go into all the details, but I won...

Re: Should I be introducing English and Grammar to my 7 year old

Would you do R&S 2 if your kids are in second grade and doing Beyond? Or would you still just stick with the lessons in Beyond? Thanks, Amy

Start R & S English in 2nd or wait a year

I was debating whether to wait a year to start English 2 because many say it gets hard and is advanced. I am not sure that doing it over 2 years would reap the benefits of the program. I have thoughts of doing First Language Lessons (I think that is the name of the other program Carrie offers) this ...

Re: Does anyone use BJU English in place of R&S?

You ladies are mentioning Christian Liberty's Manual for BJ Enlglish. I am gathering that this is the answer key that they offer. Can someone give me a little more detail as to how much instruction is in the book? Is there a little for each lesson or just a few paragraphs on writing? I am very thank...

Re: Does anyone use BJU English in place of R&S?

I too am wondering the same thing. I have not used BJ English but I am considering it for next year with our girls in 2nd grade. I would also like hear from those that have used Language Arts for the Very Young and what your experience was. Thanks, Amy
