Does Wild Reading require a greater maturity level than Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons? You said 5-7 and Engelmann is 3 and up. Not sure if that was a mistake or if it is only for older kids.
Hi Andrew, I think that Rachel Tidd from Wild Reading, recommends starting reading later because there's a great rush on teaching kids to read before they're ready which she's pushing back against. However, I'd recommend starting when your child is showing interest in sounds and letters, whether that's three or six, it doesn't matter. The main difference between wild reading and 100 easy lessons is that wild reading is much more hands-on and outdoorsy and 100 easy lessons is pretty dry, so you have to have a kid who is fine just sitting and focusing for 15-20 mins at a time. I hope that's helpful. A kid who likes video games and apps might enjoy Homer which is also great. Feel free to also try our curriculum planner to determine the best choice for your child. https://www.modulo.app/homeschool-curriculum-guide
