I’m homeschooled and go to a co-op and I had to google this fr my class bc I forgot how to make one😅

Do you have a comparison of semi reading program and all about reading? Those are the two I am in between choosing.

okay revisiting your video again! we just finished the explode the code A B C books and I’m wondering how sonlight teaches them how to blend before instroducing the funtale books? do they use letter tiles or a word list? Is there a program it’s similar too to get an idea?

Great video!! Do you think there’s too much of a jump to go from level A year 1 to level B year 2? My 8th grader started out at level A year 1. His past curriculum didn’t really touch a lot on writing and that’s why I started out at level A…I probably could’ve started out at level B but we’re past that now lol

Absolutely! Thank you. I needed to hear this.

please tell us how you plan your high school to get credits and a diploma here in Alberta - I have one kiddo who can tolerate all high school online to get through it and get a diploma, but another kiddo who probably cannot, yet wants a diploma. our school only supports fully online for high school diploma and graduation, and we love our school and don't want to leave and are torn...

So helpful! Thank you!

The A curriculum is advanced…although some of the kids in the virtual classroom look like they are 5 years old :) This made my kids always feel like they are in a classroom with much younger kids.

That’s a giant book 😳. Was your student able to get through the whole thing in one school year?

Thank you so much for the review. This is the most thorough and helpful review

I'm so glad to see you're back. I'd like to videos on how you use IEW for the 11 year old. I'm currently using IEW but not too sure if we're doing it right. My son who is 11 seems always take the shortest route/the least words possible to finish his writing assignment from IEW SS1A.

I would love information on homeschooling highschool in Alberta!!! I'm just starting that process and it seems very overwhelming not knowing all the lingo. Your videos on IEW helped my homeschool move forward . Thank you!

So excited to see your middle school and high school content!!

Welcome back!! Looking forward to these videos- we are just starting grade 1 😊

Hi! Thank you for this video. It’s one of the best I’ve seen on AAR. I have a slightly older struggling reader who doesn’t like babyish things. Would you say this program was very effective even without using much of the activity pages?

Could I use the letter tile app on my phone?

it was so hard to find a review for this, I could only find HBL reviews 😅 thank you so much!

Do i use this for Highschool? If so any suggestions on how to apply credits

Hi. I’ll be homeschooling my daughter in the fall. She will be in grade 6. She’s been in public school since kindergarten but struggles with organizing idea for writing. Where should I start her? In the grade 6 or lower?

Do you still have any of this? I’m pulling my son to homeschool next year and this is the curriculum we are wanting but trying to find the flashdrive and everything used in order to save money.

Send all the books

Thank you so much Karla for walking us through Unit 3, I agree with you that it is definitely the hardest units and I always go back to this video for a refresher!

Does it teach grammar too or should we look for a separate grammar program?

Karla - question for you: I love IEW, however to follow AB curriculum guidelines for high school english 10, 20, 30 we need to use Canadian content. What can we use for grades 10, 11, 12? IEW does not fit this need.

Hi. Thanks for the review. Regarding your tip #1, did your daughter play the CD while she was reading or did she read the book and play CD another time?

Thank you so much for sharing in depth of how you put all the different curriculums together. I am a new homeschooling mom and have been down a rabbit hole of curriculum research. Your videos by far have been most helpful-even compred to people with a huge number of subscribers! THANK YOU and I hope you continue to make content as it’s so helpful for us moms. By the way I have a almost 10 year old boy who is a reluctant writer and almost 8 year old girl who loves to write.

These videos are great! Would love if you posted more :)

Thank you so much for the detail, and time you put into going through this series of books. It was very helpful in deciding whether this could be a good option our homeschool. Many blessings to you and your homeschool this year.

Such a great video! Thanks so much!

Thank you for this!! I’m switching this year with all 4 of my students… I was having a hard time understanding what teachers materials I really needed for each Sss. Seems I only need one of the teachers courses and the rest I can do only the basic set. I appreciate your recommendation on the Bible hero’s, sounds like a perfect fit for my 8 year old son to get started. For a junior in high school who has never done this curriculum would you still recommend C year one? Thank you again. I’ll be viewing more of your videos! 💕🙏🏼

How much time does it take your child to do a day's portion of a lesson? 15 minutes or so? And that's completed in 5 days? So 75 minutes of work time to do a lesson?

Love your tip about reading the story on the first day - i just started doubt WW with my daughter and on the last day she was overwhelmed by doing all the questing and said it was too much and that she liked all the other days but not that one . Thank you i will definitely try doing it your way - glad i listened and i will subscribe to your channel too

Also how did you stretch it out to make it work for two years? Did you split one lessons and do twice a week or every other week?

What’s the size of the binder where the curriculum fit in?

I just started with explode the code. I just flipped through book 1 first 3 lessons. It seems like sooo many worksheets for 3 days just practicing "a". And a lot of repetition Do you end up doing all the pages eventually (like 3 or 4 days to complete all of lesson 1) or do you pick 2 or 3 for each lesson and then move on to the next lesson next day?

Thank you for your clear and concise review! I’m looking into some readers to go along with ETC workbooks. So far all I have are some of the BOB books. Can you recommend some others?

Hi, Did this change to History plus? It seems we cannot access History but once every three years?

Is the 3rd edition still good to use?

This was great and so helpful. Thanks for sharing. Just subscribed. I also have channel mainly about homeschooling and happy to be able to connect here 😊

Hello! May I ask about inventive writing unit? How does IEW approach brainstorming ideas for writing? Do they do any mind maps or is there any specific instruction other than keywords as keywords seem a bit limiting or could elaborate how this is approached please? Many thanks

5 years later… Thanks for this video and the great resources you recommend! Very helpful. 😊

Karla, where are you??? I hope you are OK. Haven't posted in over a year.

I miss you friend. Wish you are doing well🌸🌸🌸🌸Thank you for all your help!!

Excellent video!!! Thank toy for sharing. We have 6 kids and homeschool. Love from Maine ❤

This was very helpful. Thank you!

SUCH an excellent and helpful review. Thank you!

This is so good and true

I used All About Reading for my grand daughter. It was the best investment of time and money we could have made. We started at age 4 and she completed level 4 before her 6th birthday. It was the colourful activities that she really enjoyed.

Excellent video. Thank you (from PEI). Did you take the teachers course? Apologies if I missed that.
