THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR OF USING LLATL AND WE REALLY LIKE IT SO FAR. WHAT WE LIKE MOST ARE THE BOOK STUDIES. EVERY DAY WE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WE HAVE ADDED ADDITIONAL SPELLING BUT IF YOU HAVE A NATURAL SPELLER YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE USING LLATL AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

My only complaint of the orange book is that it isn't broken down into days. I really like the structure of the Red books, and thought that they would all be designed as such. Otherwise, I really like the curriculum. It's pretty simple to use. My son is not in love with school at all. LLATL is actually enjoyable for him most days.
