If anyone has suggestions on a comprehensive program to teach a child learning English for the first time, I would love to hear from you. I bought a few little phonics programs but they don't offer enough practice. We also have log ins for some ESL stuff but it doesn't provide the ground work that seems to be needed (letter sounds and such). The programs I have really don't teach much of this either. Right now we are working on writing and tracing. She is very slow with writing but she is super meticulous! She always makes sure that her work is great. I figure her fine motor skills will come with lots of practice. I guess that means lots of paper this summer!
Again, please contact me with any experience or ideas!

I use this book to teach my sister and one of my "students". This one is the basic one. I like this book, it is not hard and it does a lot of practice in every single unit. It has about 120 units. It has some really clear categories and also starts with the most basic grammar like "present tense", "simple tense" things like that.
Also the explanations are really clear. They tell you how to use the grammar, when do you use it and some common mistakes that we will make. :)
Also there is a whole page of practicing in every unit.
I love this book. I think it is awesome. :]
I hope this would help. :))
I've never used it, but heard Rosetta Stone works and they have a homeschool editiion.
