If you are interested I would call Memoria Press and speak with Tanya. She is in charge of the kindergarten program and was very helpful when I had a bunch of questions about the program.

Thanks, I might just call her. I think I'd really just like the phonics/reading materials because I like the other things we are using.

I spoke with Tanya this morning, who was very sweet! She said that yes I could buy individual pieces, but that they couldn't offer a discount on the individual parts. I am specifically looking at buying just the phonics and when we added up the cost of just the phonics & readers the price was almost as much as the discounted price of the whole kit. She suggested buying the kit and selling off the pieces I don't need. She said everything is resellable, even the curriculum guide, as long as you don't copy it TO sell.

The discounted price will be available through late spring and they will be coming out with a 1st and 2nd grade kit sometime soon ( I think she said late summer). Also wanted to add that some of the items from the k kit will be used in 1st grade.

HTH someone else!

hmmm, I wonder what will be in teh 1st grade bundle? THis K bundle looks like it would be good to do with my ds for grade 1 next year given his level. I wonder what the gr 1 would look like.

I was thinking of using it for k and 1st at half pace. I'm pretty sure my 4yo is going to need a slower pace (he turns 5 Aug 6), but I still want to use high quality materials. You know?

I'm glad to hear that. I usually order with our tax return and that should be in late February, so I should be fine!


Thanks!

This does look nice. I would like to hear what you all think about it when you get it. Also, if you have the reading portion, what do you think about it?

I may consider this for my daughter. I think it will be between this and My Father's World. The Memoria Press kit looks really good but I would like to add a few hands on things but not too many, YKWIM?

Mine just arrived today. I wish I had this for my older two when they were in K. This is everything I have ever wanted in a kindergarten program. I'm so excited to start. The first few weeks will be review but will quickly catch up to where we are at. I love all the practice.

Has anyone used the phonics?
