I love your walkthroughs!! Love the light units and how the teacher guide can usually be needed or not. But I agree this one is gold!! It really has it all. Love the activity books too!! And the introduction to poetry!
I made the mistake of only buying the workbooks, not the activity books or teacher guide. Halfway through Book 3 we went back to start over, using the full program. It's so much richer!
I have a child that is five but knows his letters and numbers 1-20. He’s starting to read three letter words. Should I put him in learning to read or k2? I’m not quite sure.
Does he already write? They start to learn to read in K2 and it also covers many other things like learning phone number and address, visual discrimination, reading CVC words and color words, grouping objects, Bible stories and songs, fine and gross motor skills, etc. There’s only 90 lessons total so it’s really up to you. This is more like an all in one kindergarten program if you use the teacher manual. It has all kinds of fun ideas for games, crafts, field trips, etc. LTR I think is more strictly just that. So kind of depends what you want too.
Educational Roots he is already writing letters and numbers. I’m teaching my youngest daughter the learning to read program. I like the handwriting without tears program and he finished the preschool book early. I wasn’t sure if the k2 would be too easy for him.
@@EducationalRoots Little man turned 4 in March. Is that book too young for him? I want to compare it to the K2 books. I want to start him on something now. I'm thinking about piecing together easy peasy, learning without tears manipulatives, and CLE.
Tara H No, actually I’m not. Sorry! I plan to use The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading and Easy Peasy for learning to read. I’ve had great success teaching my other kids to read that way.
Great flip through. I have a question. If I was going to use the get ready for the code set from explode the code. Would you suggest that set before or after this Kindergarten 2?
I’ve used that before, and this covers the same things as it really, so I don’t think I would do it before or after. Maybe at the same time or just jump into book 1 after this.
@Educational Roots I was thinking the same thing. That it looks like it covers the same. Thanks for confirming. Maybe I'll do it together to stretch it to a full year, 5 day a week program.
Do you think this is enough math coverage for the grade? Or do you add in other math games, worksheets, etc. I was looking to pair with Masterbooks Level K, but don't want it to be overkill.:)
I would highly recommend this to any homeschooler! So great! Open and go and truly solid. ❤️
We agree!

Awesome... I did a video on this also I'll be sharing... Mason will be using this this year.. I really like it so thank you for sharing my friend!!
Mama's Little Lambs I didn’t know you will be using this too! How cool!

TabRam88 Ram Hi! Their kinder 1 is what some might call preschool or pre-kindergarten.
Please enter me for this as well!

If you use this curriculum as intended by the teachers guide is this supposed to last you a whole school year?
If you only do it a few times a week, then yes
This was super helpful
I'm so glad!
Do you have the " Doing my best" book?
Jamie G Yes I do

Jamie G Juliette has done that series this year. I think it’s perfect for 4.
Jamie G I have a video on it
Are you planning to use Learn to Read? Or have you used it already? Thanks, for the flip thru.
Tara H No, actually I’m not. Sorry! I plan to use The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading and Easy Peasy for learning to read. I’ve had great success teaching my other kids to read that way.
I've used Learning to Read. It really is a great program. Very heavy in phonics. My 6yr old loves it though. She has blossomed with it.
@@aliciaedgar4211 Good to know. Thanks, for sharing.

@@HerChildrenCallHerBlessed That’s a good idea!
Could this curriculum be done without the activity books? I know it’s not recommended but could it be done if needed? 😉🙂 thank you
No, but it could be done without the teacher book (but I don’t recommend that).
Do you think this is enough math coverage for the grade? Or do you add in other math games, worksheets, etc. I was looking to pair with Masterbooks Level K, but don't want it to be overkill.:)
I add additional math, but it could stand alone too. I guess it just depends on what you want. :)
I think a simple calendar and use the 100 board in the spine of the books well...count bys...add 10 to a number...finding patterns.
Thank you!! Enter!
Yes, goldfish is more up my alley too. Ha! Sorry, buddy, I'm not going fishing to teach you the letter F.
Jamie G Lol! Right! I hate fish and all seafood!
