Okay, is it necessary to do follow-up workbook pages with LA Readers. My daughter is learning to read fine with magnetic letters and the readers, but the fine motor skills for writing are not quite there and some of the concepts in the workbook are a little over her head. Do we need to do workbook pages to solidify whatever concept she's working on that day? Or, can I let the workbook go? I keep worrying I'm going to mess her up for life if she doesn't learn to read the "right" way.

We don't do the workbooks, just the readers, and I haven't messed up anyone yet
I understand your fears and have them too, but try to realize that curriculum choices are simply tools to help us teach. We have to pick and choose the ones that work for us as well as to discard or not use the ones that don't.
Both of my readers started reading before the fine motor skills were there. Workbooks made no sense. With the first, I admit, we did level A workbook orally, but it seemed like busywork to me.

Hope that helps
Christine
