I've used this series for many years now. I like the fresh covers and the content is clear, sequential and challenging enough for struggling readers. It complements my use of the Wilson Method as well.

We love the entire Explode the Code series in this house! There is never a complaint when it is time to get this book out! Often my daughter completes the assignment without me even having to ask her... which is pretty close to a miracle in this house. The lessons are quick, filled with funny illustrations, and painlessly teach phonics. If you enjoy this series I highly recommend the Spellwell series by the same author.

Explode the code series are for excellent vocabulary building.
My kids love those illustrations of the book, and it strengthens phonics, word usage, and basic vocabulary foundation for the younger elementary school children. I hope there would be this kind of series for the older children, too!

This product was very disappointing. I did not see on the description what the grade level was for each book, and I did look. obviously Book 6 is not 6th Grade. I would recommend that they level the book #'s with the grade that they correspond to. Perhaps you could put the grade level by the book # since they do not correspond.

Love ETC! It continues to be a great phonics program for my kids, and I love that I can give them pages and don't have to hover. I appreciate that it gives the reinforcement in each lesson, and the additional help in the "1/2" books. CBD has the best price that I've found - including the home school book fairs that I've attended. Highly recommend the whole series!

We have loved all the Explode the Code books. We started with book 3 and my son is working on book 3 1/2 but my daughter is almost finished with book 6. I wish it went higher than book 8 - now we have to find something that works this well. We struggled in the beginning of homeschooling because most of the material is boring, complicated, to repetitive, or to fast. Explode the Code balances all of this really well. My kids have learned so much - reading is better, spelling is much better, and school work is exciting (they will actually laugh sometimes while working with these books - what a joy). I wish we could have found them sooner.

All the Beyond The Code and Explode The Code are user friendly and kid friendly. My child loves them and they have helped her and my other children as well. Used them for several years now.

One of the best workbooks out there for reinforcing reading and spelling! My only complaint is that the pages where words have to be written do not allow much space for beginning (big) writers.
