We recently had the opportunity to review Eclectic Foundations Language Arts Level B from Eclectic Foundations and I'm very pleased we had this opportunity. I do believe we have found our language arts program! As a classical educator, for the most part, I had been a fan of the McGuffey Eclectic reader for some time but then I was "wooed" by fancy and new programs. I was probably swayed because I really didn't know how to make the McGuffey Readers work for us other than as a reader. ENTER ... read more
