Looking for good LA curriculum
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 8:43 am
I recently (ok, yesterday!) posted in the curriculum section about being new, overwhelmed and excited about our decision to homeschool our oldest dd next school year.
I have looked into the LLATL program and what I've seen looks good, but I've heard mixed reviews. I haven't really seen any one curriculum that is just great. Am I going to have to pick one for grammar, one for handwriting, one for spelling, etc?
A note about Claire: She can read well above grade level, but that doesn't necessarily translate into her writing/grammar/spelling skills. I looked into using Sonlight just for LA, but the readers look like they might be too easy and then would they match up with the other LA components?
Anyone with some insights to share? They are much appreciated.
