Happily, my old one that sort of, kind of worked (when I used it) is "up" at the end of July, so now is the time to redo it anyway. It is also the basis for my new one and I'm just expanding so more is planned than before. <br /><br />Don't want to give away too much ;)dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987916970944867015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-87936357462897171812010-07-15T16:25:34.596-04:002010-07-15T16:25:34.596-04:00Oh, I love organizational systems. :) I think I ne...Oh, I love organizational systems. :) I think I need a new one....because I'd rather plan than do. ;)Mystiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489205990532734556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-11875687610928059972010-07-14T20:38:50.776-04:002010-07-14T20:38:50.776-04:00I've liked Phonics Pathways b/c I did not want...I've liked Phonics Pathways b/c I did not want the script.Tully Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11128339420825324229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-54247648312204250102010-07-14T20:09:56.300-04:002010-07-14T20:09:56.300-04:00Hi Amanda,

People either seem to love it or hate it, and I think I would have hated it.<br /><br />I used Alpha Phonics for a while with Margaret, but she was getting so the pages of words made her cry.<br /><br />I didn't like Phonics Pathways' short vowel combination chants because be- says bee not beh.<br /><br />I skip the first 26 lessons in OPG because they're letter recognition. There are things about OPG I like, straightforward parent instructions (a script) and easy steps and rules for the student. It is dull, but I think any reading program will be. It is methodical and slow. M-girl learned to read through a combination of Between the Lions (PBS), Leap Frog videos, reading books, and OPG. N-boy seems to be mostly working on OPG and it is going kind of slowly, but steadily. One thing I *dislike* about OPG is that the script is in the middle of the student words, but I've typed up pages of the student portion without the script and can hand one page to the kids (until a certain point, M-girluses the book now without complaint) and that helps a lot.<br /><br />Hm. Let me know if you have other questions ...dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987916970944867015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-43894221077422420232010-07-14T18:50:42.314-04:002010-07-14T18:50:42.314-04:00What do you think of Ordinary Parents', Dawn? ...What do you think of Ordinary Parents', Dawn? I almost got that one, but ended up getting Teach Your Child to Read in 100 easy lessons because I heard good things about it (and it was cheaper!). Just curious.<br />(Do you mind emailing me? I might forget to check back to the blog.)<br /><br />Thanks,<br />AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15110917348013493809noreply@blogger.com
