Likes: I liked the brevity of the lessons. They are the perfect length for the attention span of that age group. They are simple enough to use for non-readers and writers, yet have some additional work for those who are more advanced.

The picture studies are excellent for pre-writing skills. My daughter especially liked the poetry memorization that added variety to the lessons. The lessons are scripted, which can be helpful for some teachers. I especially liked the fact that I could use it for 2 years, it was non-consumable, and I didn't have to buy a workbook to go with it.

Dislikes: Some of the lessons became very repetitive at the beginning.
