Is there a master list somewhere of all the phonograms, advanced phonograms, spelling and grammar rules, morpheme cards and what level they are used? Maybe the scope and sequence has that information?
This curriculum is the most overwhelming to research ever. I’m trying to organize it in my mind, but it’s a struggle. I like that it has handwriting and grammar. But I can’t decide is phonic instruction for so very long is necessary for us.
I am teaching my kids, I am only on Foundations B... it's not confusing at all when you go through it day by day. My kids (who have been put through some other programs by me, unsuccessfully) have really enjoyed it along with myself and besides the actual getting to sit down and do the lesson, we look forward to it! I am a little dyslexic myself so I wanted an Orton-Gillingham based method, which this is (and the popular All About Reading/Spelling). I really like how sequential it is and how it explains so much and things just make sense. Many, maybe most, people don't learn to read, write and spell with this method and do just fine; but many others struggle with spelling or other areas which, if they had had this type of instruction would not have otherwise had that difficulty in their future. So not necessary, but may be avoiding a future difficulty or just giving a lot of tools in a person's language tool box. Good luck and God bless!
You (or anyone reading this) might like LOE Foundations (or essentials) online. The textbook makes my eyes cross, however the online goes down a margin for you. (A clickable side bar of each unit) and you play as many sections as you'd like. It checks off as you complete. It takes away that visual text clutter. It's visual and auditory but in a way- also hands on from the clicking through. It's working great for my ADHD 8 yr old. I have foundations C now (did B) and all we have is a dry erase board to do spelling analysis. No need for the extra parts unless you're doing handwriting too. Although you might want the readers if kiddo is still learning to read. My kid can read those easily so I do not purchase that. We are just doing foundations because the games are more fun for his age and it's to get him used to the program for Essentials next year.

Great tips & tricks!
Thank you 😊

How many card boxes of each size do you have? Would 2 of the Michael's multi boxes be enough?
