We used LLATL this year for my 2nd (red book) and 5th (purple) grader! It is definitely not secular. It has bible stories and verses in some lessons. It truly is all encompassing and we will continue to stick with it!
Oh my goodness I got them confused! Lightening lit is secular and llatl is Christian. I just didn't see any religuous stuff in the first level I have. Thank you! I will mention next video
What levels of Torchlight did you look at? It is far more than a Language Arts program. They cover history, science, art, music, geography, and a theme for the year. What makes you think that Lightning Literature is not secular?
You know, you're right. I don't know why I thought it was Christian. I think I confused it with this British lightning lit program that is Christian and because I know a Christian who uses it. I'll correct that next video. I have the first year of Torchlight. I think it dabbles in topics, but I think its strength is that it is a very creative program that also covers vocabulary and, through its books, does touch on a variety of topics. I do think one may want an additional science program at the very least.
