Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I just received an email for a coupon code for 30% off of Seton reading materials, including Faith and Freedom readers! That is a great deal!
Now, if we could only get 30% discount on postage.


How?

Thanks! Did you get it by being registered or on a mailing list? I'd like to get on their notification list of sales, but I don't Facebook.

   One thing, the first reader is meant to introduce sight words. Seton suggests you start it towards the end of first grade, but then quickly progress through the other readers that combine both sight words and phonetic words that have been learned through their phonics program.


Thanks for this information! My dc really enjoy the F&F readers too, but I have to admit I was concerned with the 1st grader reader that my ds is using. I believe sight words are beneficial, but I'm big on phonics. I saw the emphasis on sight words and wondered if I should even use the other two 1st grade readers with this ds. He really needs to apply the phonics rules he is learning. Knowing that they start to apply the phonics is good. It makes more sense to me.

Lara, I registered on their website for an account and requested email info. I just registered over the weekend and have already received 2 or 3 emails.

Stephanie,

I wanted to thank you for posting that code. I hadn't read the e-mail and almost missed it.

I was on the fence about buying these, but with the discount I decided to go
ahead. I bought several, and so far my children are very happy reading them.

They are just reading them for fun in their free time, but they are enjoying them so much. And my mother, who is 75, picked one up and said, "It's Anne and David and Timmy! I remember them."

She used these when she was in school

How sweet

I'm currently using them with my 6th reader and she is amazing me with how well she is flying through them! There is something so precious about them, and I am fortunate enough to own the copies my siblings used which are hardback, coloured copies.   I'm enjoying my visit with David, Ann and Timmy again.

I just received the 2nd and 3rd grade set of readers and my 1st grader is enjoying "her" books. I'm so glad you posted the coupon!
