I noticed on the sample CM schedule beginning reading was only listed three days a week. Is this what folks follow? do you do more or less and how has that worked?
I work daily with my “learning to read” student. I did the same with my oldest. It is best to keep the lesson or reading time short though. That is my opinion and experience. I would not recommend only 3 days per week.
I do daily too …when I have my act together (seldom ever happens for more than 3-4 days in a row). So, I guess that’s somewhere in between in reality. But also notice that those schedules show a variety of possibilities, i.e. the “science day” schedule has reading every day.
I have a learning to read child right now. We do reading lessons Monday-Thursday because we only school 4 days a week. But we have hit the point where she can read enough that she is trying to read things. So everywhere we go she is reading signs and looking a books and gets really excited when she can read a word. I guess you would call that life learning
