I just stumbled across your review and found it extremely helpful. We are transitioning to Foundations D after our Christmas break. I'm both very excited and a little intimidated by it. I'm sure we will get into our rhythm over time. You had mentioned you were not going to continue on to Essentials and would be discussing what you use in a follow up video. I would love to hear what led you to that decision and what you followed up with after Foundations D.
Could you tell me what you are storing your phonics cards in? Or if you discuss it in another video, could you send me in the right direction? It looks like a perfect fit!
It may not keep their attention in all aspects of a lesson, if they are an advanced reader to start, IMO. There are other great elements to the program like grammar, spelling etc. though.
Thanks for your review of this level. LOE seems extremely comprehensive. I'm curious as to why your feet it didn't work with your other two children. Are they less visual or kinesthetic learners? Was this too intensive for them? I'm only homeschooling two children and am really leaning towards this program. Cheers!
I'm wondering too, it looks very, very labor intensive. Goodness, I love Sing, Spell, Read & Write because it works with every learning style BUT it does not teach all these rules. Fun songs and lots of fun games as well. Once kids get to a certain level, I like SHURLEY ENGLISH for the writing component. SSR&W has been my go to for 35 years, though.
@@MrsCalabresesTeachingChannel Hi there! It's been over a year since I left that comment 😄 and my kiddos are thriving with LOE! I'm glad I watched a ton of review videos to help make the decision easier. Reading Denise Eide's book Uncovering the Logic of English solidified it. My oldest is now nearing Level D Foundations and is reading independently rather steadily!
