Likes: We've used this program the past two years with 2 children. It's gentle, introducing a little at a time. We've used grades 2 - just starting 4th. It seems to review the same topics throughout the year, but with greater depth than the previous year. This bugs my son a little, as he thinks he already knows it all, but it really does build on the previous year and a bit of review is good. There is a lot of writing, but we usually do a good bit of it orally with only odds or evens of the written work. This program gets the job done simply and thoroughly.

Dislikes: There really isn't much we dislike about this. It could be a lot of writing, but that's easily remedied by doing half the problems or doing it orally.
