Anyone familiar with this program?
Do any of you use this program?

I purchased a used copy at a homeschool curriculum fair, and the woman that sold it to me described it as a "treasure" that she was reluctant to part with. I know Kimberly Hahn uses it and HIGHLY recommends it.

I like the fact that it is non-consumable and non-workbook-y. The daily lessons are short and done by the child while standing at a blackboard/white erase board. Very practical for kinesthetic learners, and children with attention difficulties, methinks.

I have only JUST started using it with 6yo dd. I'm surprised that I've never seen it discussed here before. Wondering if any of you have had experience with this program...

Thanks!

Mary

I have not heard of this one, but the fact that you said it looked good for kinesthetic learners caught my eye. Maybe I should look into it for my 6.5 yo ds. Keep us posted!

From what I understand, this has been around for a while. You might check Cathy Duffy's website or review books, because I think I read a review of it by her at one point.

I think you've gotten your hands on a good, solid phonics curriculum for cheap! Way to go!
