This is the third year I have used this program, and I just love it. It is very important to have the teachers guide for this because it is more than an answer key. The teachers guide often expands on the topic you are teaching, giving you and your child a more complete learning experience. I love the way this uses books, newspapers, journal writing, the library... It moves through real world learning in a controlled way. The only slight minus this program has is that the grammar lessons are not as clear and strong as I would like them to be. I highly recommend this.
