That was a great breakdown of ELA! We loved LLATL when we used it a few years back. Thinking of trying it again. 😊

Will you make one about piecing ELA together also? My 5 year old is past most of the phonics in 1st grade programs.

Thank you soooo much for this video. I just bought lightning literature level 1 for my first and second grader. I am both scared and excited to try something new. 😅😊… Should I add All about Spelling and Essentials in Writing with Lightning literature? Or would that be overdoing it?

For the first grade Lightning Literature, you said the child will not be reading the picture book but the parent will read as read aloud. Will that change at any point within level 1?
