That's a big plus for schools and co-ops where they realistically can't assign as much, but I think it's a disadvantage in a home situation where more can be done (unless there are family circumstances where something substantially lighter is necessary -- such as a child who truly needs a much lighter load).
I've been hearing moms talk about doing Form 1, and then moving their kids into Year 4 (of "AO Classic"?). I hadn't considered that as an option, but I think it makes sense.
Thank you, Leslie! Since I'm not seeing the big picture of all the forms, it is good to hear that my new tentative plan seems solid! That will be extra useful for big (and smaller!) families since it is in Form 1 that most children are still learning to read.
