Hi ladies,
Have any of you used the Little Angel Reading Program? I am using it but my question is: do you use the daily lesson plan 'in full' for each child? It seems very comprehensive, which I like, but with three young readers at three different levels, my whole day could be taken up by teaching according to the daily lesson plans in the teacher's manual. Any suggestions?

Thanks and God bless,
Margaret

I am teaching my fifth child to read with Little Angels. We love these readers!

I use the lesson plans in the beginning with each child till they learn all the letter sounds. It has so many helpful ideas for different learning styles. After they have the sounds down we just use the readers and a bit of the workbooks each day.

Hi ladies,
Thank you very much for the quick response Bridget. We are on Reader A for the 5 and 6 year old and Reader C for the 7 1/2 year old.

Okay, so this may be one of those: will the second grader miss something if I don't walk her through the whole lesson as outlined in the Teacher's Manual? I have the same paranoia about MCP Math. I buy the Teacher's Manuals and then realize I have four kids ages 7, 6, 5 and 3 and they are not all on the same page. So it is hard to do repeated classroom style' sessions for four different grade levels as presented in the Teacher's Manual!

The TM is great is someone is stuck on a concept.

My older kids (15, 13 & 12) used LARs and they are reading college level material for their school work now. I guess I didn't mess them up too badly not using the TM 100%.
