Foundations A Teacher's Manual

Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama.One of the things that I was excited about in the prospect of signing up to do reviews with TOS Review Crew was knowing that I might get an opportunity to review a curriculum level of a product I've seen in the past, the other idea that made me happy was the chance that I would learn about something new-to-me. Today, I get to share with you a new treasure to our family in our homeschool curriculum and I'm delighted to review this new-to-me program that I definitely want to stick with on further levels in the Logic of English ~ (http://www.LogicofEnglish.com). I was granted the blessing to obtain and use Foundations, Level A as well as a set of reusable resources, and the iOS Doodling Dragons App and Doodling Dragons Book. I was curious about the curriculum, but had no idea the delight that we were in for on this adventure!

The Logic of English: Foundations program is recommended for ages 4 to 7 and is designed to easily be used in schools, homeschool settings, older struggling readers, and English Language Learners. I'm certain it would make a good addition to a co-op setting. The Level A is for the beginning reader and opens the world of reading through basic phonogram knowledge, beginning handwriting skills, short vowel and consonant blends decoding. Specifically, we are using the Foundations, Level A Teacher's Manual (hardcover) and the Foundations, Level A Cursive Workbook (perforated paperback). The teachers manual retails for $38.00 and the workbook (regardless of font) for $18.00. (These prices appear to be the same for printed or PDF materials). I opted for the cursive workbook as we're planning on starting this fall with a cursive curriculum recommended in Memoria Press first grade and I was curious if we could get a good start while reviewing some phonics we already knew in a completely different fashion than we've studied before.
