How-do-you-do, I started using CLE math 200 for my eight year old a little over a month agone and we both really like it. I had used MEP with her before now, which was good, but I wanted something more than independent and MEP didn't cover some things I wanted to include in her math instruction without me having to do-it-myself and schedule it in. I'g having a baby before long and doing school myself so this was the best option for u.s.a., plus she really loves CLE math and understands information technology.
Every other subject we are doing pretty much CM, but I am considering using CLE'southward Language Arts. I have been going dorsum and forth between CLE and starting Spelling Wisdom with Using Language Well. Has anyone here used CLE's Language Arts? My eight year old is an excellent reader and we oasis't washed any grammar or spelling actually except for what she naturally picks upward from transcription and narration. She learned to read with 100 Easy Lessons and took off from at that place so neither her nor I know many phonics rules or what a digraph is, though I consider myself a pretty decent speller and reader without knowing the formal rules. That is the only thing that might trip usa up if we go with CLE's language arts because she wouldn't be starting from the offset.
She likes the CLE math so well that she said she would like to practise a workbook like it for language arts. Math and cursive are the only things she considers "school". I don't think she even realizes that the read-alouds and oral narrations nosotros exercise are school. She just enjoys them.
Communication from any who apply CLE math with either CLE language arts or Spelling Wisdom and ULW?
CLE math has been the only math we've used that has worked for my dd. She's had learning disabilities in this area and in grammar. GWG has been the best for her. I started her at Level 2 on both curriculum in 2014, and she's been moving steadily through since. She'south needs the spiral manner of teaching and bones, elementary instruction. She will be using GWG all the style through to Level 8, then Our Mother Tongue.
My dd didn't pick upward learning to read easily. SO we spent a lot of time on breaking downward words and more phonics. My son took off with reading so quickly, he didn't learn the phonics rules. It didn't affair until he began getting into multi-syllabic words. I realized it hampered him by not having had the aforementioned step-by-pace training that his sister had had, so I started him on Megawords when he was 12.
I don't know anything well-nigh CLE LA, simply my recommendation, after seeing the experience my son has had, I would suggest starting before in the programme. Perhaps call them and enquire. Information technology's a spiral type program (at least the math is), and then just going dorsum to Level 2, working rapidly through it and learning the rules would probably be sufficient. Just tell her to tolerate some of the more than youngish parts, only to glean the phonics from it. Then move on. She won't exist "behind". However, if Level 3 has the same teachings as Level 3, just presented more speedily, you could just review them daily with her for memorization and start in Level 3 (I don't know where you were planning on starting her).
True, CLE LA isn't CMish, merely if it works, use it. However, there are some other "workbook" type programs out there which she could use that are more CMish and teach phonics and movement at the CM pace of when to nowadays grammar and spelling, for case.
Go on with the oral narrations.
I don' t know anything almost ULW.
HTH
We use CLE Sunrise math at the 300 & 400 levels now. They apply Life of Fred one time a calendar week. We started with RightStart and notwithstanding apply their AL Abacus with CLE. I considered CLE LA simply did not like the samples. Take yous printed some of the free pdf samples? I did not like the spelling word lists or how they teach penmanship. I like to be able to customize more for each kid where they are at and use more CM methods. My 6th grader uses Spelling Wisdom and had used Writing Tales. My 3rd Grader uses Sequential Spelling, Handwriting Without Tears for cursive, and Explode the Code phonics ( book 8 now). They also practise oral narrations.
Nosotros've used CLE Math from the starting time, and my oldest is now in 6th form. We LOVE it.
My oldest girl used CLE LA for 4th and fifth grade. She actually liked it b/c the lessons had variety. There were simply a couple of diagramming problems, a couple of whatever else was being learned.
There were some writing assignments in the books, too. And so that was nice.
What I didn't similar nearly itwas mainly the spelling. Information technology used what seemed to me to be random word-rules. The words for a particular department (20 words per 1/3 of the book, so 3 wordlists for each LightUnit), were all related as words, but non related inhiw they were spelled. And so, you'd be studying the words cabin, hut, cottage, and building in the same lesson. To me, that makes no sense. I think the words ought to be grouped past spelling rules (which I don't know either, but I'm learning as I am tutoring my other daughter in the Barton Program).
Neither did I similar using Spelling Wisdom, for that same reason. We as well tried Sequential Spelling, and that seemed besides dotterel – the words were all listed together by families, merely no phonics/spelling rukes were given.
Then, peradventure I'one thousand but hard to please!
CLE LA did serve the purpose of giving my daughter good grammer and syntax practive, though. So I am pleased about that. This twelvemonth, she's using Easy Grammar to keep upwardly the grammar. I'm floundering a bit when it comes to a writing curriculum for her. And I bought a used spelling wkbk – A Reason for Spelling – for her to employ simply and then she's doing some spelling. Just I'm non entirely happy with that, either.
If I had it to practice over, I'd use Writing Tales Levels ane and 2.
Explode the Lawmaking is a good, basic phonics education workbk. serial.
Some other pick is Phonics Pathways.
That is good to keep having her read aloud some to you. I recall that is Tristan who uses SW daily with the copywork. We employ both SW and Writing Tales. I like the variety in WT and how they cover grammer and writing. Only at that place is only one copywork passage every two weeks. And their only spelling practice is in one case every two weeks and information technology is a list of words I create based on words they misspelled in their written narration. This is where I sometimes throw in a SW word missed, for actress do. I like WT well enough to stick with it for my dd coming upward. But the new SCM Using Language Well looks nice too. At that place are only two levels of WT out now and I utilise it for grades four-6. I am looking for what to use adjacent.
