This is exactly what I’m doing with my newly 5 year old instead of jumping straight to K level. We’re loving T so far and we’re running through it since we do more than 3 days a week cause the books are just really engaging and fun.
This was so fun to see! I just started Simply Classical C from Memoria press with my preschooler and we love all the books but he always wants more, so I've been picking some from sonlight lists. We just got Milly Molly Mandy as well.
This is very similar to how I would like to do preschool/prek. We have so many books already and I’ll just piece together what we have and do other academic things. 😄
Loved looking into this! We are wrapping up the first half of Level T next week. My daughter is 3.5yo now, so I took the Level T and split it over this year and next. So when we start the Prek Level, she will be turning 5 and we'll do that whole Level in 1 year at that time. :) We didn't use any of the extras beyond the books either. We DID do the "baking a biscuit pizza" with the "Pete's a Pizza" book in Level T. Both of my kiddos loved that!
Well I’ll just comment on ALL your vids now I guess 😂 this is such a good plan. I love this bc I was so torn between doing preschool or level k for my 4.5 year old. But this idea alongside Abeka to learn to read may be what we do next year 🤷🏻♀️
Most people on the Facebook group recommend doing PreK with age 4-5, then do level A before K. So level A in kindergarten age 5-6 followed by level K at age 6-7. Haven’t gotten there myself but just fyi!
What Facebook group? I wonder why the K is more advanced than A… and if Sonlight will adjust that? I’m starting Sonlight pre-k with my daughter in the fall.
Hi! Yes, that is my plans as well ... I'm thinking, Level T - Level P - Level A (w/K read alouds) and then Level K (with A read alouds)! What level are you currently using?
I recently purchased level K for my son, who turns 5 in July and my daughter who will be 7 in June. We are only on week 5, but I feel like it’s too much for my little guy and he is not getting much out of it. He is learning his letter sounds, but the storybooks are hard for him to follow. Im considering purchasing the 4-5 year program for him even though he’ll be considered a kindergartener in the fall. There are so many options and my head is spinning from trying to decide what to do 😣
This fall for my 5-kindergarten and my first grader who will be 7 I may do the read aloud in the pre-K level and supplement my 1st grader with Abeka history, science, health readers
It is so hard to decide, but you know your kids best! I would say that HBLK is a bit advanced for a 5 year old ... my 7/8 year old got the most out of it! More than his 6 year old sister. You can always come back to level K :)
Once you get into the thick of it I’m curious how long you spend reading each day. I keep going back/forth on the early years Bookshark. Books look great but it just feels like a lot.
If you click on "What's Included" tab when looking at the package there will be links for each item individually including the teacher guide. It's not free - I think they are usually like $60 or $70.
