Thanks for making me aware of it! I will look into it! 😊

Jacob’s ladder is not learning to read curriculum. It is an advanced reading comprehension curriculum that develops higher order thinking skills. In the early grades the reading can be done by a teacher, it is the discussion where the child is involved. All right, just wondering if you had an opinion about it!

Hi Alexandra! I’m not familiar with Jacob’s Ladder. The curriculum I used loosely to teach my kids to read is Logic of English Foundations. I think it is an excellent curriculum, but we definitely did not do all of the activities in it. I take a very gentle approach to helping kids learn to read and a lot of it is just sitting next to them helping them to sound out words and blends sounds together until eventually they take off. The most important thing is to keep their love of stories alive, so I don’t like to pressure them at all! My youngest is in second grade and still not reading fluently, but my older 3 all love to read! 😊

I have been following you for a long time and I know you love reading and discussing books with kids! I have not seen you mentioned any reading curriculum. In particular, was looking and Jacob’s ladder and have not seen you used it. Have you explored this before and why did you not incorporate it into your curriculum?
