ABEKA curriculum~PreK?

Question

Does the AEKA curriculum for 4 years old teach them how to read (3 letter words) or simply teach letters/sounds etc...

Answer 1

It mainly teaches letters and sounds.  If I were you, I would go ahead and buy K5 and just move through it very slowly.  I looked at both programs at a curriculum fair, and it didn't appear that K4 was worth the money as much of it is repeated in K5.  

I am going to start my daughter in Abeka K5 this fall.  She'll be 4 and a half, and we'll just move through however slowly or quickly she needs to.

Answer 2

It doesn't teach them the three letter words too much in depthg, mainly focuses on the sounds and letters. Theres a fantastic book that thought me to read, and i plan on using it with my children. I can't remeber the author, but its called "Teach your chidlren to read in 100 easy lessons". I starts with the basics(sounds, letters,etc.)and continues that by the end of the course the child is able to read 1-2 page stories. its a fantastic book that covers everything to get them ready to go. i used this book when i was about 3-4, and I became an extreemly voracious reader. hope this answer helps!
