“Every possible instruction has been included, along with many teaching tips for struggling learners, hands-on learners, or children who are having a difficult time with their speech. I found these tips and activity ideas invaluable. I learned so much...I felt fully equipped to teach my kids and to help them if they struggled with a concept.”Lexi, homeschool parent and blogger
“My kindergarteners are far surpassing what my kindergarten students have ever accomplished in the area of reading, writing and spelling. Their favorite subject is Logic of English. The program is not only in-depth, it is fun and engaging for my students. It is well laid out and extremely easy to teach. My substitutes have also enjoyed teaching the program.
“...I could not teach in a school that doesn't use LOE. Every day I have the joy of watching 'light bulbs' go on in my students' little minds.”
Julie Knollenberg, Kindergarten Teacher
