BJU Press Vs. CLE grade 4 Reading homeschool curriculum

This is the Christian light education reading program for 4th fourth grade homeschooling and the non Jones university or bob jones press or bju press grade 4 reading
This is a flip through an comparison of the two different homeschool curriculums. Inside look of the books and workbooks and readers and teachers guide.

Thank you so much! Some of my viewers recommended that I check into Christian light reading and like you, I always research curriculum before I purchase it. I love the BJU...but I really like the CLE too! Your flip throughs were very helpful! -Janelle

We are first time homeschooling since Thanksgiving... thanks to covid. My 3rd grader is doing CLE Language Arts. She is dyslexic and ADHD and she is able to do it by herself. I just ordered the CLE reading. If she walked in the room and saw that huge BJU stack it would overwhelm her and it would be a fight to get her to do it.
YES!! I'm always looking for flip through videos. Thanks for posting...ordering 4th grade soon. 🙂

We are doing the bju reading 4 now, but the older edition. I'd say the teacher guides are more important than the answer key. I have yet to use the answer key but I use the teacher guide with every lesson. It's nice not having to come up with all the questions plus there are lessons woven in there that aren't in the reader.

My 4th grader did CLE lang arts in 3rd grade. I switched her to BJU for 4th grade....she hates it and is requesting we switch back to CLE. She has dyslexia and add and the whole layout of CLE is just better for her.

If a child needs to be able to do it on their own, which would you suggest, BJUP or CLE?

How did you use or assign the extra readers that you purchased?

I’ve heard some say that the CLE stories are boring in the reader. Did you find this was the case? I have a reluctant reader so I’m trying to capture his attention. I like how the CLE will have them read alone and then to me the second time. I think he may feel better having read a story once himself since he hates being corrected.

The flip through videos that you do are so helpful! Thank you for doing them! Does the BJU Reading 4 come with the 3 chapter books and teaching materials when you order the parent led option?

Under BJU subjects are these books under the reading section or under the English section? With some courses the lump everything. It talks about a CD too. What is that for? I loved the books that you showed but I need it for 5th grade. Do you have the link to the area to buy this curriculum. Great review by the way!

How do you feel bju reading compare to abeka reading at level 3, 4, and 5

We are currently using CLE. How long does the BJU take compared to the CLE? CLE takes forever!

[deanbrown]

Can you tell me how many lessons are in BJU reading? I'm considering taking 2 years to do it rather than pushing ourselves. Thanks!

Great video. Thanks for showing the website too. Other review videos don't take the time to do that.

I'm interested in reading BJU. Did your daughter/ children enjoy and how long does a lesson take ?

[marygibson]

I’m so glad to see this! I’ve been wanting to try BJU press reading for our kids and haven’t done it because I hadn’t really been able to find enough information before spending that much on a curriculum considering it is just an extra for what we already use in our house.
Now that it’s been 5 months, would you say the teacher guides are useful? I’m thinking they would take up too much space for the amount that you would actually use them. I can’t see consulting them for elementary reading, but if they are needed to teach them I would buy them.

[emmahammond]

Which program did you decide to use? I'm undecided. My daughter has been doing CLE reading so far but she said the stories are super boring. I'm just afraid BJU is going to be too teacher intensive. Maybe the stories are more interesting though?

What kind of computer is that ? Very helpful video!
