I searched high and low for a curriculum that would work for my super super super hyper-active son. I couldn't even get him to focus long enough to go over the letter sounds. But when he started showing an interest in learning how to read, I knew I had to try *something*. After three months of using Logic of English Foundations A, he is now reading six letter words and will sit and focus for an entire lesson. This curriculum is exactly what he needed.

Fascinating. Do you know what makes the difference between the b and the p sound? These lessons are meta learning English: thorough yet short. Unless you want to practice with the fun games but my children don’t usually need them.

Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama.One of the things that I was excited about in the prospect of signing up to do reviews with TOS Review Crew was knowing that I might get an opportunity to review a curriculum level of a product I've seen in the past, the other idea that made me happy was the chance that I would learn about something new-to-me. Today, I get to share with you a new treasure to our family in our homeschool curriculum and I'm delighted to review this new-to-me program that I definitely want to stick with on further levels in the Logic of English ~ (http://www.LogicofEnglish.com). I was granted the blessing to obtain and use Foundations, Level A as well as a set of reusable resources, and the iOS Doodling Dragons App and Doodling Dragons Book. I was curious about the curriculum, but had no idea the delight that we were in for on this adventure!

The Logic of English: Foundations program is recommended for ages 4 to 7 and is designed to easily be used in schools, homeschool settings, older struggling readers, and English Language Learners. I'm certain it would make a good addition to a co-op setting. The Level A is for the beginning reader and opens the world of reading through basic phonogram knowledge, beginning handwriting skills, short vowel and consonant blends decoding. Specifically, we are using the Foundations, Level A Teacher's Manual (hardcover) and the Foundations, Level A Cursive Workbook (perforated paperback). The teachers manual retails for $38.00 and the workbook (regardless of font) for $18.00. (These prices appear to be the same for printed or PDF materials). I opted for the cursive workbook as we're planning on starting this fall with a cursive curriculum recommended in Memoria Press first grade and I was curious if we could get a good start while reviewing some phonics we already knew in a completely different fashion than we've studied before.
