When you refer to pacing and completing all 4 of the books in a full year by doing one unit a day are you referring to all 3 of the levels (a,b and c) too or just 1 level?
Hi. It is recommended to complete all 30 units of Essentials at one level, so either level a, b, or c. You keep with the same level through all four books. Once you would complete all 30 units, you can start back at unit 1 at the next higher level. I hope that helps! Here is an article that may help. support.logicofenglish.com/hc/en-us/articles/4600880333979-Essentials-Levels
Does the online Essential program teach everything for the student or is it more of a supplement for the student to do after one on one instruction with the parent/teacher? I did Foundations A-D with my daughter and it was a fabulous fit for her. After finishing Foundations we did other curriculum for LA, but since leaving Logic of English, I don’t feel like her spelling skills have improved much at all. I think my daughter would really benefit from the phonogram, grammar and spelling parts of these lessons, but I am worried about the time commitment as my plate is very full teaching four special needs students. (I am hoping my younger two are going to be ready for Foundations soon!) If I could have my oldest daughter do Essentials completely online that would be a huge incentive to go back to Logic of English with her next school year. She will be 6th grade.
Hi! Here is a great article to review in the LOE Help Center regarding teacher involvement. support.logicofenglish.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409424885787-Teacher-s-Role-in-Essentials-Online You'll need to help your daughter navigate the course, monitor her progress (especially verbal activities), download/complete the assessment with her, and just help her along the course. The course videos do teach the full lesson, along with the activities, but you will need to guide her along.

@@homeschoolpeace thank you so much!!! I ordered Essentials 1-7 on Monday and it arrived today. I’ve been looking through it and I am SO excited to get started Monday. I absolutely LOVE Logic of English. Why I didn’t think to come back sooner and do Essentials with my daughter who thrived in Foundations, I do not know. But we are here now, and I am looking forward to this new journey! I’m going to teach the lessons for now and if I need help, I’ll keep the video lessons in mind. I might need to outsource some of my daughter’s Essentials lessons when my sons start Foundations, but they are not quite ready yet. Thank you again for your input. I greatly appreciate it.
Hi … great video. Trying to compare TGATB, All About Reading and All About Spelling to LOE Essentials. Are you familiar with these? If so, how do they compare? How does the online version of LOE Essentials compare to the books or can you dona combination of both? Thanks.
I really enjoyed All About Spelling for my kids. We used it for a time but then found it was just too cumbersome during that season of my life. It is a well rounded program loved by many though. They also have a excellent customer service and purchase policy.
Essentials is the second program of Logic of English. You would be most likely using Logic of English Foundations, not Essentials if you are teaching a younger child how to read. Logic of English and All about Reading both teach phonograms. Logic of English (Foundations, idk about Essentials) uses moving games and card games to teach. All about reading uses flash cards to teach the phonograms and words. They also have paper activities where you read words and match them to a picture. Logic of English teaches reading, spelling, and handwriting concurrently. All about Reading teaches only reading. You can purchase all about spelling to get the spelling instruction. The readers for all about reading match the words they are learning. They have more attractive pictures and are a little easier than the readers in logic of English Foundations.

Hi! You would not use Essentials and Foundations at the same time, with the same student. You will want to go with either Foundations or Essentials. Both teach the basic phonograms. The main difference is the age in which the programs are designed. Foundations is more playful, 4 years old to say 7-8 year olds. While Essentials is more for around 8 years old and older. I hope that helps!
