We carry Learn to Read, Real Phonics, Reading Made Easy, and The Reading Lesson. You can also choose whether to add Miss Rhonda’s Readers to supplement your program. If your child is a struggling reader, we also offer Learn to Read for Kids with Dyslexia. Little Hearts for His Glory is not tied to a specific phonics program, so any phonics program can be used. 

A:
Depending on how much phonics instruction your child has had, you may need to finish phonics instruction even if your child is already reading. If your child is beyond phonics, we recommend our books for emerging readers.

We offer two different book sets for emerging readers, along with a daily schedule for using those books. Each day includes 3 questions from the various levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy to guide your reading discussion with your child. For ease of use, we sell these sets on the Beyond Little Hearts for His Glory section of our website.

For oral language, students chorally perform rhymes in motion and recite memory verses daily. Handwriting and critical thinking lessons alternate to hone fine motor skills. Phonics instruction is scheduled daily. For storytime, students listen to chapter books as read-alouds. Brief follow-up lessons correspond with the read-alouds and emphasize basic comprehension, vocabulary, critical thinking, early writing, moral connections, and personal application.

You can easily substitute those programs into Little Hearts for His Glory. Just be sure that any substitutions are not overly time-consuming, or you will quickly lengthen your school day beyond the time we expect Little Hearts for His Glory to take.
