Learning To Read by Christian Light Education || Lesson Walk-through and Flip-through

[@SusanEvans]

The fact that you tried 4 other reading programs and settled on this one speaks volumes for the effectiveness of this one. It looks like it's really comprehensive.

[@FieldsFullHouse]

We used CLE Learning to read with my oldest daughters! It is very thorough! You did a great walk through!

[@PenniesAndSalt]

Thank you!

[@christinej2828]

I have used this program to teach two of my children, so far, and recently started it for a third child of mine. I love it so much.

[@jessicam6532]

This review sold me on this curriculum. Such a solid and underrated program! Thank you

[@PenniesAndSalt]

It truly is!

[@tamijoysisemore659]

We will be starting this as soon as it arrives. My son is way older but has special needs. Praying so hard we are ready!

[@Ways_of_her_household]

Perfect timing! I’ve been looking at this curriculum and my CLE catalog came today. Very helpful! Thank you!

[@RussellsLovingLife]

When I first started homeschooling I loved having what I needed to say. It helped me to feel more comfortable teaching.

[@amberhamlin644]

Thank you for showing this! I would have never considered it. I am excited to use this with my upcoming first grader. He loves workbooks and wants his own "chapter" books like his older brothers.

[@Abiding.Farmhouse]

I'm researching CLE because I've heard such great things about it and look who I found! Yay! Watching now.

[@PenniesAndSalt]

Haha! I just did a math flip through as well! It’s our favorite for lower elementary!

[@Books.N.Roses26]

This sounds exactly like what we need right now. We have been struggling with reading with my middle child. Please switch to Cle math because of one of your videos and it was a perfect fit for her. Now it looks like we might need to switch to the reading for her as well. Also I wanted to mention that we are a My Father's World family and I taught my oldest daughter to read beautifully with kindergarten and first. But I have struggled so much with my middle girl with reading

[@EricaLucasLoves]

This curriculum comes with so much! That's awesome.

[@FieldsFullHouse]

You did such a good job sharing this curriculum!

[@alystodola]

Thank you so much for sharing this! We have tried many other things and find they are just too distracting. The good and the beautiful is far too beautiful for us! Thanks for sharing this, I’m sold!

[@OneBlessedMess]

This was such a good walk through of this curriculum!

[@FieldsFullHouse]

This is such good thorough learning to read curriculum!

[@JodisCreativeCorner]

Looks like a great curriculum. Thanks for the walk through.

[@patriciadiaz777]

Coming from THATB 😢and exited to find this curriculum!. I heard great things about it

[@MoniqueAduSustainableLiving]

Wow! That was so thorough. It was such a help to me to see this for my choosing curriculum for my son.

[@DaninaFarmsNina]

This a very informative video! Now, I'm re thinking our pick for phonics and language for my 1st grader. My plan was to used Foundations Phonics by Masterbooks but now I'm not so sure.

[@kathryngeerlings4283]

Hello! I am currently do this with my son and we are loving it. But I’m wondering what you would do after completing this curriculum. I’m not sure if I want to continue with CLE reading and LA because it’s just a lot and I’m not sure I want a program so heavy on grammar in the early years. I’m just just curious what you will do next with your son.

[@bananza1310]

This is such a great walkthrough! Thanks so much for sharing! 😊🌟

[@LivingWithEve]

I really like how they present the phonics program.

[@S.Patierno]

Did you find this super effective for your child with possible dyslexia .. my dd seems to have mild dyslexia and we too have tried so many programs.. my dd did well with rid abd staff Prek and kinder ..there’s just something magical about how structured and minimalist it is and this seems to be just as magical ❤️

[@EverydayBlessings]

Thank you for sharing this!!

[@mirandacarter215]

Thank you for doing this! I know it’s an older video but I am coming from doing All about reading level 1 with my youngest struggling reader we have tried master books and now AAR she loves the hands on but hates the fluency sheets and shuts down! I was thinking after we finish the first level to switch to CLE because of the extra practice and the LA portion. I was thinking you did AAR with one of yours also? I am so torn!

[@stephaniebutler8028]

Hi Miranda I am 5 lessons away from finishing aar 1 and my son hated the fluency sheets. I am thinking of switching to cle also, because of the LA portion and extra practice, that AAR did not seem to provide

[@mirandacarter215]

I totally went a different direction once researching it I went with BJU press first grade phonics/la and reading, spelling. I found a great deal on the teachers manuals and got the students stuff new. Praying if works for us! My oldest will be using CLE La and reading for 5th grade brand new to it so praying I made the right choice! Why does it have to be so hard? 😬

[@stephaniebutler8028]

@@mirandacarter215 I know right. I had the same issue with TGTB and I prayed. I used HOD for 2yrs also. I will be praying and asking the Lord's guidance again.

[@holywarriorforthekingdom613]

I love your channel. Thank you.

[@JennaDanelle]

You said you have been through four until you found this one, I am curious what the struggles were. My kiddo is struggling, she was behind from public school and I feel like we need to start w foundations again, but she is in third already! She struggles w blending and sounding out letters in a word even though she very much knows her sounds for each letter. We plan to also have her tested to see what else may be an issue, but I need something new for her.

[@simplejoyfilledliving]

This reminds me a lot of Abeka!

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

This looks like a solid program.

[@BretMarie777]

Did you do the CLE kindergarten? We completed the kind 1 and now are doing the kind 2 but my kid seems bored. She already know all letter sounds and is starting to sound out words. She's about to be 6. Do you think we can skip kind 2 and start this one?

[@robynmorgan1187]

You mentioned using MFW for your older son...I have done the same and I’m considering trying This one w my kindergartener in the next few months. Could you give a comparison of the reading program from each? Did MFW not work for your younger son and why? (I’m familiar w CLE as I’m using LA 2 for my older son).

[@PenniesAndSalt]

I LOVE MFW for Kindergarten! It has and always will have a sweet spot in my heart. My oldest did excellent with it. It’s super gentle but effective and we added in explode the code half way through and he really took off. However, my son that I mentioned it not working for more than likely has dyslexia. We haven’t had him officially tested yet and likely won’t because we are using and finding the tactics that work for him. Learning to Read wouldn’t be for kindergarten, it’s meant for 1st/2nd grade. MFW is a Charlotte Mason inspired, all inclusive curriculum. If you are looking at 1st grade MFW I wasn’t a big fan of their Phonics but I LOVED the rest, especially Bible.

[@robynmorgan1187]

Thank you!! Appreciate your help!

[@chelseaann404]

Do you have suggestions for new homeschool mom's to not get overwhelmed by this curriculum? It seems like so much to do. We are going to be using this but I am already feeling overwhelmed by teaching this. I am probably just working myself up..

[@PenniesAndSalt]

It can definitely feel overwhelming. Once you get into it, it really does become less intensive on the teaching end just because you've gotten used to the activities and methods. My biggest advice would be; if it feels overwhelming, cut lessons short at natural breaks. This is a curriculum that you could easily use over a course of 1 1/2-2 years rather than cramming it all into 1. If there are parts that need to be reviewed, take time to review or solidify then move back into it. Find your rhythm and make it work for you. 😀 I hope that helps!

[@alexandraeberhard515]

I know your son is older now, but looking back would you choose this for a child with dyslexia over another program? Or is there something you think would work better then this?

[@PenniesAndSalt]

Honestly… no. I think it’s an amazing and thorough program and excellent even for a child who is a struggling reader. However, with dyslexia, a program using the Orton Gillingham or Barton method are ideal.

[@EricaLucasLoves]

Your curls are lovely!

[@PenniesAndSalt]

Thanks friend 😉❤️

[@katherinecortes7944]

Please, Comunity homeschool is possible to send me pdf. Books prekinder one? I live in Colombia.

[@laurenrasmussen7997]

Thoughts on ltr vs aar

[@driftingforward]

Are you still using CLE? if so can you share what it is like now?

[@PenniesAndSalt]

Yes, we are done with this one but we still use their math with all of my children. It’s exactly the same now. I’ve used the reading with 2 of my children and liked it a lot.

[@Klouk1217]

how does this compare to teach your child to read in 100 lessons?

[@michellecalais2482]

What grade is this appropriate for?

[@PenniesAndSalt]

1st and 2nd 😉
