HK, Thanks for introducing me to CM. I googled and read up a little and agree with most of her method, except like yourself, the religion study bit. It was interesting to read that she actually taught sight words first so even young children can enjoy reading without having to decode written language first. I might try that with dd. DD has no problems reading exit,stop, open, several store names, etc irrespective of the context. I am assuming that you used manipulatives, using all senses type of learning in the primary years instead of relying on computers and flash cards etc. If yes, I am hoping you can assure me that it works as I am not a big fan of electronics. If not, I am all ears to listen to your reasons for using them in the early years. Thanks and I truly appreciate your input.
