Our reading journey is similar. We are struggling (soon to be second grader) and are finally trying All About Reading but I got level 2 because I figured we would get through Teach Your Child to Read before we started and I’m just not sure if she can take much more of that book. Are you familiar with explode the code? If so, do you think we could do explode the code to master first grade reading skills before starting all about reading?

@@ashleymurphy4813 I actually just filmed a video (coming out in 2 weeks) about Teach your child to read. It didn’t work well for us. I wish we would have just started with AAR (I have a review on level one for that as well). I LOVE Explode the Code. I talk about it in our June wrap up, but it goes SO WELL with AAR. You might, since you’ve got an older kiddo, be able to do the first few books to “take a break” and build more confidence with reading and then just into level 2!
