Logic of English ***** I have found this a comprehensive program that is very labor intensive. One lesson can easily take three hours to complete. Which is why I break it into bite size portions each day. I also found shipping to Canada to be astronomical. If you have shipped make sure you do it through a shipping service across the river. It is worth the cost if you follow it closely. Not a curriculum you can veer off from easily. -A.Flinn
***** Logic of English ‘Foundations’ Review I will start off by saying that I struggled in school with reading and spelling. When we decided to home school I was more confident to teach algebra than reading. I even thought of sending our kids to school so that someone else could teach them to read. Then I heard a presentation from the Logic of English and I knew right away we had found what we were looking for. We were chosen to be a part of the test group for LOE Foundation, and it was truly an honour. I was amazed at how quickly and easily my son caught on to the rules and phonograms. Friends and family are amazed at his reading and comprehension. The program is designed for ages 4-7. My son was 4 in JK when we started and has been able to follow along at a good pace. We did 5 lessons a week about 45 minutes a lesson. My daughter started this year in JK as well but was 3 (turned 4 in Nov) and has been able to keep the same pace. Many of the beta testers did less than 5 days a week and did wonderful at a pace that worked for them. There were also a number of testers who had children we had learning disabilities or were struggling readers and all of their feedback was positive. There are games and activities that my kids love and they will play them outside of ‘school’ hours. I often see them writing there phonograms or pointing them out in the things they see around them. Denise Eide and her staff are very helpful and professional. It’s truly an amazing program and I highly highly recommend it. Not only are our children reading and understanding how to decode words, I have learned more in 1.5 years of teaching that I did in all of my schooling combined! I am now confident in my ability to teach our children. If you have questions I would gladly answer them as best I can. We LOVE the Logic of English!!!
