Loved all your updates. I am on the fence about our upcoming year. I’m torn between trying a unit of Moving Beyond the Page or Lightning Literature, but LL is an investment. I’m worried about the price and it not working. I keep checking used book sites to see if I can find a used TM in our grade to see if it would fit our homeschool. It’s hard when you can’t hold curriculum in your hands and flip through it.
Yes, during the summer. During summer she does IEW and during the school year she does Lightning Lit. I think doing both at the same time would be a bit overwhelming for my daughter so I just split it.
We just started with MCT and we love it.
I’m glad it’s going well 😀
You’re so detailed, thank you!
Your welcome! I am definitely a detailed oriented person and find it helpful in my homeschool decision making
Thanks for sharing. Could you make a video about how you use MCT with your kids?
Thanks for the suggestion! I will add it to my list of topics to film.

The channel Project Happy Home has some detailed flip throughs of LL. I found her videos helpful when trying to decide.
Thank-you, I forgot she had done those.
Have you gotten to Tuck Everlasting in LL yet? Trying to decide if it’s themes and readability is a good fit for my 5th grader. 😊
Not yet. It’s actually the next book scheduled. I will definitely come back when she finishes it and let you know how it went 😃
Did she do IEW structure and style?
Yes, during the summer. During summer she does IEW and during the school year she does Lightning Lit. I think doing both at the same time would be a bit overwhelming for my daughter so I just split it.
