I use this series for both of my kids (6 & 8). Sadly it stops at EtC 8, but we have been very happy with the process the series takes the kids through. My daughter has dyslexia and it was a bit rough in the beginning, but have seen great strides as we are now n EtC 2.5. There are 1/2 books between the main books to help with transitions if necessary. My son didn't need them, but my daughter did. Great to have the choice so there is no unnecessary boredom or if needing an extra stepping stone.
I have been using this series with my children, including Get Ready for the Code and Beyond the Code, since it was first recommended to me six years ago. Having one child with learning disabilities who needs visual ques and repeated reviews, I have found this series to be a great tool. I would recommned it to any student who enjoys a workbook type study. It reinforces spelling and vocabulary skills with minimal teacher involvement. The wacky drawings often get colored in as a reward for time spent on the lessons!
My daughter loves those books. They are not designed to teach anybody to read. They are made for extra practice with spelling reading and vocabulary. I really loved them and we are doing the whole series. Just keep in mind that the books that are half numbered, are just more practice on the same level as the book before. So if your kid found book 2 to be a breeze, it would be a good idea to skip book 2 1/2. Go to 3 and so on. If they need extra repetition, that is different .
I have three kids who were born in Ukraine, and I home school them. The whole Explode the Code series is fantastic for teaching in a fun, low pressure way. I even used them to go way back to the beginning to fill in the holes with stuff they missed since coming to America. I am grateful to have this resourse.
Love these easy to use workbooks
We love these books- they have helped my 6 year old become a great reader and speller. Would recommend these books to any emerging readers.
My daughter loves these books and has done them all. We both wish there were more beyond book 8.
This is a great series for homeachooling. My kids can't wait to bust these books open everyday.
