We ended up using All About Reading with my second son, and that made a huge difference (in a good way)! Logic of English looks like a great program too! The only reason I chose AAR instead was because AAR seemed a little more simple, and that’s what I felt like we needed.
Thank you for this helpful review! My daughter, (6 in September) is a reluctant reader, like your son. She can read a bit, when she wants to put in the effort of sounding out words. However, often she just lacks the interest. Teaching a child to read is fairly new to me, as my older son, (now 8) learned to read fluently, levels ahead, at just 4. I literally thought that's just how most kids learn, lol! Anyway, THANK YOU! Now going to deep dive into researching the Ornton (sp??) method. I hadn't heard of him, before your video. Much more intrigued with All About Reading, now that you've shared your experience. Also, you are an excellent communicator! Very organized delivery of information! 😊
Hi Paige! It’s so wild to me how differently kids learn! Haha! Or even just their level of motivation! The Orton-Gillingham approach is just a multisensory phonics technique, and they are two people that came together to come up with the approach. We have loved All About Reading though and I know Logic of English is well loved by many as well. Both are more expensive, and we did add more games into level 1 of AAR, but they have a bunch of free activity sheets on their site, so that was super helpful! Something that helped my son get more into reading was setting up a reward system. I have a video called, “help motivate your kids to read” about how we do it if you think that would be helpful! And thank you for the compliment about being a god communicator! I really appreciate that one! And thanks for taking the time to watch and comment too:) Good luck!!
@@kristenheuer5676 we finished off the year using the Good and the Beautiful along with this. We used this with my oldest and he attended an in person charter school the following year. But with my second child we started out using All About Reading and are still using that with him. I wish I would have done AAR with my oldest as well because its been great!
Thank you for this thorough review! Exactly what I was searching for.
Oh good, I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing, I never heard of this curriculum 😊
You're welcome! It's definitely not as well known!
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion. :) Did you end up using both All about Reading and Logic of English with your child or another child?

Good* not god 🫠
Did you continue on to level 2? Do you have a flip through of it?
We did not. We ended up not using all of level 1, so I don't know much about the next level, sorry.
@@karifacer what program did you use after this?

What are cvc words
CVC just stands for "Consonant Vowel Consonant." so words like "cat" or "dog" are cvc words :)
