How many packets should I buy

Jo,

The phonogram cards I like to continue to use, but that is my preference (and you can buy separate whole sets of phonogram cards instead of buying extra packets). I am sure other people pass them down. The rest of the cards I re-use for each level.

The first step in each level has you review the cards from the previous level--so for that level you would need to "borrow" the cards from your younger child. Otherwise, as long as your kids are working at least 1-2 levels apart and have mastered the previous level, you can pass the cards on. The exception might be if you have a child who really struggles in spelling and needs lots of review. But you could certainly try it out and see how it works for you--and if it doesn't you could pick up an extra packet with a future order.

There are a few consumable items in the materials packets. All levels have a progress chart and completion certificate. Marie has made these available for download in the "groups" section for each level, so you can print extras. Levels 3 and 5 each have a booklet--you can get extras of those from AAS for $2.50 each.

That's really helpful, thanks :) - where would we be without forums??

LOL, I have gone to a few curriculum fairs, but part of how I knew what to look for was because of forums! I agree, LOST!
