Kembia is doing a modified Kindergarten. She's pretty smart (of course all parents think most if not all of their kids are geniuses!) and kept asking and asking for school.
So I caved. She does Kindergarten math, handwriting and the book Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons.
This book. Oh how I hate this book.
Okay, that makes it sound like it's terrible. And here is the thing. This book works. It really does. Kembia is 4 we have done very, very limited schooling with her, and she is sounding out small three word sentences 15 lessons into this book.
But it's driving me crazy. Like I would rather listen to someone run their fingernails down a chalkboard. It's repetitive, and the same thing day after day after day after day after day...
I'm sticking with it because it's working, we paid full price for the book, and I don't currently have the time to look for something else, but unless you truly don't mind endless repetition, I would say look elsewhere for a reading curriculum for newbies. There has got to be something better!
All About Reading is an awesome program. Pricey, but totally worth it!
