[@hemofhisgarment4109]

we are a week into the new 3rd level gatb and we LOOOOOVE it I really appreciate the changes they have made. they deffinately have paid attention to what families were needing. love it so much.

[@lifewithginab]

We loved it too!!! ❤️

[@sjaap141]

We loved the old level 3, especially the poetry. My littlest will hopefully be doing the updated level 3 in a few years. New or old, you can’t go wrong with TGATB!

[@lifewithginab]

Totally agree ❤️

[@theculturedkidlanguages]

Ooh I love a new update with the new curriculum!! I'm so glad TGTB are updating and really listening to their community!! Thankyou for sharing!!

[@lifewithginab]

Love that they listen ❤️ you are so welcome ❤️

[@jessicabrown6943]

I didn’t know they included videos with the new edition! I bought the old edition when it was on sale. Now I want to get the new edition. We are expecting baby #9 so those videos are priceless! ❤

[@lifewithginab]

First of all, congrats on baby #9! What a blessing! ❤️ And yes, I can imagine video lessons being very handy! 🙌

[@Pollypocket25]

I’m so excited I just made my curriculum purchase for my 2 kids, level 4 and level 2! First timer homeschooling here, so excited to start!

[@lifewithginab]

That's so exciting!!! I hope you have the best year!!!

[@user-bn7dg2km2d]

Oooo i am liking what i see in the new edition. 😊

[@katiacleroux7376]

We're dipping our toes back in TGATB LA, and was set on using the old, but man oh man did they do a great job on the new version! While my kiddo was having a hard time sitting through a single lesson of the level 2 (old), she's now doing 2-3 lessons in one sitting they're so well set out!

[@lifewithginab]

Wow that is amazing!! Yes love the updates for sure 🙌❤️

[@callsign.Noctra]

This is such a tease 😂 I keep seeing review videos of the updated level. I wish theyd just release it already lol Edit to add: The video aspect is something I'm really looking forward to! I love that they're incorporating more videos into all of their subjects because it really does give me a little breather during teaching.

[@lifewithginab]

🤣😅 next week might be a great week 😉❤️

[@callsign.Noctra]

You just made my day, girl!😍🖤

Yes totally agree about the video aspect!!!

[@bsuarez1235]

I am so excited about all of these updates !! I did the original level 3 with my oldest and all of these changes are amazing. I can't wait to use this in the coming school year with my son!

[@lifewithginab]

I love the changes too!! ❤️ so exciting!

[@hyzenthlay713]

Thank you so much for this! I was so close to printing out the old version, but in color, it would cost over $200. Now I can better decide if I should wait for this one.

[@lifewithginab]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!!

[@jessicalantz4428]

I love how they've updated the writing portions! Seems to be much better instructions on HOW to do the writing. My son has struggled with writing so we have had to supplement. But this looks great!

[@lifewithginab]

I agree! I love the updates to the writing too!

[@sunflwrgrl7]

Video lessons!! That's one of the main things that is making me look at TGTB again. This was a very thorough walk through of the new Level 3, very helpful! Thanks!!

[@lifewithginab]

You are so welcome ❤️

[@peacelove3450]

You put so much time into your videos, Gina... you can just tell. The best flip through and comparison by far. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. I'm adding to the cart once it comes out! And adding some additional things you mentioned, too! 😊

[@lifewithginab]

Wow thank you!! This means so much ❤️

[@Fluffydidit]

Yay!🎉 I am so stinking excited! Just blown away with the readers. Those look perfect! And yay for Kingdom of Kind! ❤ Now I can't wait for my boy to get to Level 3! Please give us another sneak peak with a do a lesson with us video!

[@lifewithginab]

I will definitely film a do a lesson with us ❤️ I'm so excited for this one too! Can't wait to do it from start to finish ... but for now, we are just doing the last unit, and we are so happy with it!

[@korriep8543]

Such a great flip through. We are finishing up level 2 and are so excited for level 3.

[@lifewithginab]

Thank you ❤ and so excited for you!

[@kllawrence]

Nice! My son is doing excellent using the older versions. He's used levels K-2 and now 3. I added in my own scaffolding for the writing once we started level 2 and that helped him so much when he started the old level 3. I will definitely use the newer levels once my younger children start school.

[@lifewithginab]

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing and watching ❤

[@HarrisonIsha]

I have been waiting for this video! Our little one is going to Level 3 this year. 🎉

[@lifewithginab]

That's so exciting!! Hope the video was helpful ❤

[@joesgirl152]

I’m the most excited about the new binding!!! I printed and bound the 2nd grade myself ONLY because of the binding. So excited!

[@lifewithginab]

🎉❤ yes the binding looks great!

[@brookelewis8958]

My son is finishing 3rd grade, but this makes me want to do the level 3 with him anyways! It looks sooo good. Thanks for sharing!

[@lifewithginab]

Lol!! I know that feeling! Glad it was helpful!! You are so welcome ❤️

[@cherylsosciacassidy6701]

This is such a useful comparison. I love the difference in the writing. My son would be totally overwhelmed by what you showed in the old version but we might just make it with the new one. He does fine with other skills but doesn't even want to approach writing. I am also very excited to ty the video lessons. I have really liked the speaker shown in past video content. What a great way to mix things up and avoid monotony.

[@lifewithginab]

Such a great way to mix things up! Glad the comparison was helpful ❤️

[@Jessp367]

Currently watching!! So excited for this Gina 🙌

[@lifewithginab]

Yay!!! 🎉❤

[@brittanyedwards3293]

Love this flip-thru! We just finished level 3, but I’m excited to do the updated version with my next child in a couple of years!

[@lifewithginab]

Thank you so much for watching ❤

[@chinkypanda73]

It looks great and I love how they changed the spelling portion. We are finishing up the old level 2 and we didn’t buy in time for the old level 3. I am excited to start this with my oldest this year. The only thing I am hesitant about is that the lessons appear to be much longer.

[@lifewithginab]

They take us about 30 to 40 mins to complete. They seem a tad bit shorter than the old level 3 edition. As the levels increase, the lessons get a bit longer... I remember the first week back to our regular homeschool, it took us some time to adjust from level 2 time frame to level 3. I hope it works out for you ❤️

[@samibuck]

Thank you for the review and comparison! My daughter still has about 20 lessons in level 2 to finish up next school year, then we get to start the new level 3! I just want to buy it already 😂

[@lifewithginab]

You are so welcome! And so exciting!

[@andreagreen1467]

This is such an amazing comparison! My son is about halfway through old level 3. New edition looks so much better for him for writing. He hates writing. I like that it prompts them and helps them start. I'm thinking about switching to the new one lol

[@lifewithginab]

Thank you so much! We love the new edition and made the switch! Love the writing in this new edition!!

[@tiaagoo4713]

[@lifewithginab]

That's exciting!! You are so welcome! And than you for the feedback ❤️

[@nicolentwiga7049]

We are trying out the new level 2 this year. Itll be our first year using TGTB soley (we used AAR too before). Nervous but excited. This flip through of level 3 makes me more excited because it looks so good and i love the progression. I think having the phonics/reading at the beginning of the lesson and seperate from the course book seems like it will give more time for the grammar/writing component. I also love the gentleness of the writing!

[@lifewithginab]

I so agree with all your points! I've also heard amazing things about " AAR" ... how did you like it?

[@nicolentwiga7049]

I love All About Reading. Really thorough and sequential. I like the way they teach decoding rules. It is very repetitive though and my daughter is ready to try something new. It's also a bit pricey for just phonics!

[@lifewithginab]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! So appreciate it! ❤️

[@lifewithginab]

My son really likes the new edition essays! So far from what we've used ... the essays have a more gentle approach but seem effective!

[@yamibindiver]

Wow those readers 😍 love what they're doing with spelling and the challenging words. My daughter is almost done with level 3 but she really loved the kingdom of kind story, I might just get the readers, hope there's an option for that. Thank you for showing us the new edition❤

[@lifewithginab]

You are so welcome! And I hope the readers are available separately too!

[@jessisblessed6689]

They are available separately! I printed off the workbook, spelling book and answer key but didn't want to have to print and cut out all the books, so I decided to order just the books and I was able to do that!

[@bryndendevenny9875]

It looks like there's going to be a BIG jump from level 3 to level 4 now, especially in the amount of writing required!! I tried level 4 ELA with my kiddos this past year and we had to leave it because it was too much for them!! My youngest just finished the new level 1 and i'm excited they'll at least get to go to level 3 now! After that I feel like its a bit overwhelming!! Have you done the higher levels to compare? How big of a jump will it be from new level 3 to old level 4?

[@lifewithginab]

I haven't done any higher levels but my son is jumping into level 4 soon. So I can definitely give an update on how he does from level 3 to 4! ❤️

[@MTZ.Rosales]

How exciting! We will be starting level 2 🤞in july or August. Depending on how fast we finish booster cards B as they recommended on the placement test. We are currently on AAR level 1 and plan to continue that curriculum. We will be incorporating TGAB 🤞 he enjoys it. Im so thankful it is free as a pdf so we can give a it a try! Idk maybe one day if he absolutely enjoy it I'll purchase it but for now free is always a plus!

[@lifewithginab]

Free is ALWAYS a plus!!! ❤️

[@heatherchancey1861]

Can’t wait to order!! I did order the spelling rule flash cards already; do you think these will be helpful or not?

[@lifewithginab]

They are super helpful! If my son is learning about a certain spelling rule, we play a game throughout the week and referencing the flashcards to make a list of words that follow the spelling rules! Super helpful, and the spelling rules go so well with this level, too!

[@Jessp367]

Those readers!!! 😮😍

[@lifewithginab]

I know right?!❤❤❤

[@audreymaldonado5655]

I love those readers! Do they assign chapters of the readers in the lessons? (Like one chapter per lesson?) or are they more free use like level 2?

The video lessons seem to stop at level Three. Four and above does not have them, they do have the odd video or audio narration though. I wish they would have continued with the video lessons with 4 and 5.

How similar are each lesson old vs new? We are part way through the old edition, but the new edition looks like my little one would do a lot better with it! Would we be able to stop the old one at the end of a unit and start the new version at the same unit or would we need to restart the whole book?

[@lifewithginab]

Great question! So I started unit 4 (with the new edition) and we were using the old edition and went up until the end of unit 3. The new edition is much better in my opinion... the books, the lessons are much straight to the point... we love the video lessons, the writing and spelling. It's quite different the changes in my opinion! And the transition for us was pretty good starting at unit 4. It does feel easier and much more gentle and I'm happy about that. I think my sons favorite part is definitely the videos, and the new books!

Ugh I know the feeling! But you know the books are my favorite part of the curriculum and they will be available online so maybe even reading those books is a great compromise ❤

[@juliahannigan5989]

I wish this curriculum was not so incredibly expensive to ship to Canada. I just can't justify paying $100 in shipping

[@lifewithginab]

Wow $100? It costs me 45 Canadian but usually I order just once a year... so the curriculum total (curriculum and shipping) in Canadian for me would be around $184 Canadian including the fee I pay for that weird fee at the front door)... which if I went with something else that I would like, it would probably cost me much more. Maybe it depends on where you live in Canada? Sorry it cost you so much... that's definitely frustrating!
