[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Annapolis private uses the phonetic readers from Jolly Phonics. They are maybe more interesting and readable than McGuffey. [/quote] I've heard decent things about Jolly Phonics. My counterpoint would be that McGuffey becoming eventually more difficult is something of a feature, not a drawback. It is very helpful in making older literature more accessible, via providing background knowledge, exposure to complex syntax, and vocabulary. By the time you hit the 6th reader, you're at content as hard, or harder, than anything your child is likely to get in high school, and you would give your kid a leg up if you could get him even to the level of, say, the 4th reader before you run out of steam.
