Hi There,
First of all, no I am not being paid for this long post
I bought LR Deluxe and LM and I think we got Way more than our moneys worth in my opinion.
Search my name and read some of my posts. Actually, they use some of my comments on the text testimonial page and then link it to my full longer post of some of our experiences.
I do agree with Skylark that the software is truly excellent and the printing option is going to be more and more useful as we move through the program.
We started Wyatt at 10 mo?? and if we have another little one..We think of it as a long term 6-8 year investment.., yes, we'll use the print feature, haven't yet.
Think of the convenience of just opening your box and having 8 sets ( i think?? ) of categories printed for you. What i didn';tknow when i bought it , maybe I missed it or they didn't promote it??
was that for every word there are 4 different presentations of that word. different font and colors. Also, there are 4 different pictures to go with that word. So you do the math, I may be wrong so someone pls correct me... 8 sets x ?? 10 words per set x 4 text presentations x 4 picture presentations= ??
That's a lot of combination's which is fantastic. The flap cards keep them together and usable. What else are you going to do with all these self printed cards? Without a "container" the Thin paper, either way,will be torn to pieces or eaten really fast
.
tape them or glue them all to cardboard or thicker stock? thats a LOT of "time" that i just choose to 'Spend" playing the learning game or cuddling ( actually we do a lot of cuddling while we're learning ) or playing with cars.
Just open the box, choose which of the 4 options u want, and slide them in. Done, ready to play. How we use them...
We have them spread out on the floor, also in a little box he can go through and take them out and in the binders.
There are going to be a lot of words being learned in the next few years so we actually specifically requested that Brillkids sell MORE of the flap cards, flash cards and the binders and we bought I thnink 3 of the new separate sets.... plus.... so 5 extra binders and 80 or more cards??? cant remember.
We can take the binders anywhere, car trips, leave one a each grandmas house etc.
We actually would like them to sell the whole curriculum printed out as another separate package so i don't have to do all the printing.
They are great quality and frankly, the reason...one of the many reasons, we love the whole program is that it's ready to go right out of the box and we can spend more time playing the " learning game". thats what we call it.
With all the things in life we all have to do, spending a few extra bucks on organizing the plan for the next few years instead of a night out at a nice restaurant or whatever...just was an easy choice for us. And i can't work at the moment due to car accident so money is tight. Long term, years.... Absolutely worth it for us. Flexibility and easy to review previous lessons.
oh, i almost forgot the books, very smart way to present the story. It actually teaches reading at the same time that we're reading a story. They work into the story the words we're learning in the software and it isolates/highlights the main words. Now the Aesops fables are out and they are great too, we have them all.
So, that's what I think about that. Hope it helps you all
Good luck and welcome to the community
