My daughter is wrapping up her prek year and she also went through Delightful Handwriting (which I loved!) And completed Delightful Reading Level 2. Since she still had some more time before she started kindergarten we have held off on moving onto Delightful Reading Level 3 and will continue to hit home some of those phonetic basics and then will move onto Delightful Reading Level 3 probably after Christmas of this year:) We also LOVE the poet study and picture study resources from SCM!

[@peggystarling]

I’m so glad to hear that those went well for your preschooler! That gives me a little more confidence that hopefully my preschooler will be able to handle it. 😃 I’m not sure why Delightful Reading isn’t more well-known. It’s wonderful!

[@alyssamurchie483]

@@peggystarling I think people might be more aware of some of the other "big programs" out there and are drawn to those. It's hard to find reviews/testimonies on DR and so maybe your channel can help change that 😍

[@peggystarling]

Yes! ❤️ I’m planning to fully review it. I’d love for other families to find out about it because it’s been so great for my daughter!

[@haileylindberg4365]

Is there a video that explains why y'all switched from MFW to SCM? I'm thinking of making the switch. I'm praying an researching and discussing it with my husband. I would love your input and experience.

[@peggystarling]

I have a video on my review of the MFW kindergarten curriculum. I’m not sure if I said why we switched. Overall I loved MFW. I think it’s the best boxed curriculum. I’d consider using it in the future if for some reason SCM doesn’t work out. I have a video coming out soon about why I’m switching from SCM math- that definitely wasn’t working. I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you might have! I’ll also pray for you and your husband as you make a decision about it. ❤️

[@natashatipikin]

May I ask what math curriculum you choose to go with?

[@peggystarling]

Hey there! At the beginning of the year I was using Simply Charlotte Mason’s Elementary Arithmetic. I ended up switching and I’m MUCH happier with the new choice which is Math U See. I’m working on a video to explain the switch. 🙂

[@robynloew]

I really enjoyed your video! I watched all of them. I just wanted to let you know that the music was really distracting. I think it was too loud. It was hard to hear you over some of the music. 😊

[@peggystarling]

Thank you for the feedback! I’m working on making the sound in my videos better and using less music. Learning and growing!
