Hi,
I am using All About Reading, which I love. However…I want “more”. I love the ease of use with AAR and AAS but wondered if I could do Delightful reading also, for the “real book” aspect. AAR gets done and one thing I have learned over the years is I need to use what will actually get done 🙂
Thanks,
Kim
Well, I haven’t used AAR or AAS so I can’t speak to specifics. But Charlotte encouraged variety in the reading lessons. It seems like there are so many tools that can be helpful in learning to read fluently that a combination approach of various tools would probably be a good thing. If you think the both programs contain elements that would be helpful, feel free to pull from both.
well I’ll be – I didn’t realize how Charlotte-esque I was being with my younger two that I am teaching to read right now – I thought I was just being spastic
. I don’t have experience with any of those programs, but I am doing a combo, ahem, varying my reading lessons with them. We have a phonics workbook that we are going through and some days we do an exercise on the marker board with it (they get completely overwhelmed looking at too many words on a page, so I just write the little tidbits to sound out on the board a little bit at a time). This is where we work on sounding out things and recognizing the patterns in our language. But their favorite part is the “real book” aspect of reading. We use the Bob Books for actual reading experience (we have the Pathway readers too, which we will move to next). We move faster with the books and I help them more there so they can enjoy their reading. They even ask to read those books. They have a good many speech issues, so we work on more of the sounding out at the board with the other book. There is lots of back and forth and I see a benefit from both approaches – I think they complement each other rather than confuse – I think doing both, and offering the variety is a huge help. So all that to say, if you want to use the other, go for it – if there is something you feel like AAR and AAS cover that DR doesn’t, keep using it. Was that answering what you were asking, or remotely helpful?with my first, we just sat down and read, he didn’t need any phonics, he just got it and figured it out on his own 🙂
