I think All About Reading has a level before Level 1 doesn’t it? Thank you for sharing what you used! I have enjoyed Primary Mathematics 2022 for Kindergarten this year. I wanted to use MWC but then I had extreme fatigue to the point I literally couldn’t lift an arm 😅 So I thought I needed a simple book or workbook and no Teachers manual nor hands in activities and It has worked out okay.
I’ve looked at AAR pre reader level and I want impressed, especially for the price. It was very similar to the letter of the week curriculum we used this last year. I appreciate the suggestion though 😃. I’m glad you found a math that works!
