This curriculum comes a variety of fun activities to engage the child during reading lessons. I love that Koko doesn’t even realise that he is learning while having fun. The download consists of 13 files that covers 8 weeks worth of work.
Its a perfect add on to any reading curriculum and can be used as a revision aid (which is what we used it for). Each week has its own reader and a specific lesson plan (all inclusive in the purchase). I love that its laid out for me so that I don’t have to spend too much time each week in prep. Prep is a once off occurrence with printing, laminating, cutting and gluing which took me 1 full day (with allot of interruptions, LOL). I love that it comes with a Certificate of Completion which is presented to the child. Koko is looking forward to this, we are currently working on week 5.
The only con I can see in this curriculum is that you are required to purchase picture dice, for the Roll & Read Game, and alphabet stamps, for the Trace! Read! Stamp! worksheets, neither of which we have. However, both products are a great addition to the school room and the education experience.
I like this curriculum and I think we are going to add it to our workload for the girls once they reach grade 1, to be used in conjunction with their Grade 1 Curriculum.
