Title: Busy work, misses the mark, smattering of info
Product review: Philosophy of education is important when choosing curriculum. I am in the Charlotte Mason camp when it comes to what my children read. Therefore, I do not like this curricula. However, I do not regret purchasing it because it made me aware of why I am disappointed by some of my curricula choices. Up until now, I did not realize that this type of curricula contains exactly the twaddle Charlotte Mason wrote about in her widely embraced Education series. I have switched to Spelling Power and so far I am very satisfied with what the material is teaching my child and also very important, how it is teaching my child. No review for SP yet because we have done just one daily practice session. I am not against workbooks; I use workbooks for math. I don't expect literature quality sentences for math story problems, the math book itself -for lack of better word- is not dumbed down. So two stars for "A Reason..."
