Life of Fred was an answer to prayer for us! My oldest hated math and there were tears almost every day... and then Fred came into our lives and that all changed! We also took a little break after we finished the elementary series and did Math-U-See for a couple years and will still be using that along with getting back into Fred’s intermediate series and then moving onto fractions and decimals. My daughter is looking forward to seeing what Fred is up to and so am I! Fred is a household name and I can’t wait to start again in Apples with my 6 year old soon 👏🏼
@@katielopes8280 I love this!
Have you ever heard of the book? Sir Circumference. Is also kind of reminds me of child craft encyclopedia. When I was a kid my parents had a child craft encyclopedia and one of it was mathematics and they would have like stories in it. Crafts related to math. Nice.
@@KCH55 we like Sir Cumference. I hadn't heard of the encyclopedia.
My favorite part is finding these at the library and I don’t have to buy them. My kids love the literature aspect of it. They really enjoy just reading life of Fred over and over again.
@@sclark7747 yes! When your library system has them available that's great!
Have you done the readers? My kids all started out with those!
Technically they are not at my library but they find them on inter library loan for me which is wonderful and totally worth looking into!
Also look into the math adventure series. The sir cumference series is a favorite of my children. So many math principles are taught in such a fun play on words way. Good stories, great illustrations, so fun. I enjoy reading these over and over again to my kids and talking about the math in them.
As for the life of Fred readers- I have not got those. I have used teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons and pairing that with bob books. That combo has helped my children become very proficient readers at young ages. Highly recommend it.
We use it as a supplement and my child loves these books.
I was very fortunate to have 6 kids f these books gifted to me.
@@Dreblueskies did you use them all?
@@FamilyStyleLearning My little one is only 8 so we are still only on Cats. Honestly Cats felt like e big jump so we just started it over 😁
Although my friend that used it before me only used LOF until her daughter got older and they still love it.
@@Dreblueskies sometimes they are challenging and then the next book is easier.
@@FamilyStyleLearning Good to know!
By the way, do you go down rabbit trails with the other subjects he covers?
@@Dreblueskies no, because we have always used other curriculums too. But I do think it would be fun to use LOF as a base and then go down all the rabbit trails. The books are just packed with great stuff.
My oldest loves LOF and we’ve paired it with Learn Math Fast. It makes math applicable to real life, which definitely pulls him in.
@@GinaRLacy I've never heard of Learn Math Fast. I'll have to look it up. Thanks for commenting ♥️
I’m doing the same…how did you incorporate both?
@@candices2582 I’d go through an entire section or book of LMF and then follow it up with the corresponding LOF. They lined up very nicely!
Learn Math Fast is another good one.
@@Dreblueskies thanks
I’m so glad you are highlighting this amazing curriculum! I just joined the FB group and there are so many positive testimonials! My sweet 2nd grader seems to have a lot of math anxiety. I think I’m going to pause Saxon 2 with her and switch to these books and see how it goes. So thankful we have so many great resources available to fit our kids’ unique circumstances!
@@katrinakim4145 Absolutely, so many options! This is a great curriculum to give kids a break from the norm and then you can see if it's something that's works or if you want to go back. We love it!
Thanks for the Life of Fred video! 😊
@@klsimmonsen For sure. Hope it was helpful.
