I read WRTR and used SWR, same concept only simpler, but imo, they simply take too much time. I still teach reading through these concepts, but with a simpler program – a combination of Alpha-Phonics and All-About-Spelling. I’ll admit I haven’t tried it the CM way, but that’s because I’m a phonics and rules girl.

I do intend to buy the Delightful Reading Program for sale here soon because I’m interested in seeing it all work, though.
