    Pros: Very thorough
    Cons: Multiple erros
    Grades Used: 5th

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this curriculum. However, there have been several grammatical errors in questions and instructions, there have been inconsistencies between what's in the student book versus the teacher book, instructions have been written incorrectly, and answers have been incorrectly marked as well.

    Pros: Easy to follow teaching guide, preprinted worksheets and booklet for students, and created a great base for learning.
    Cons: Lots of parent time as you are teaching your child, but worth the effort.
    Grades Used: K

    My child was removed from "distance learning" at the regular school and put into homeschool during Covid for kindergarten. I loved the curriculum and the teaching guide was easy to follow. After a year of distance learning for others and homeschooling for my child, she started first grade well ahead of her peers, and she stayed there until 3rd grade where she is now at level with the rest of her peers. She has now asked to go back to home school because "school was easier" and "took less time", as I work full time her homeschool year was a challenge but the curriculum was well laid out and I know I can pick it up again. We are looking forward to jumping back into McRuffy it was well worth the cost.

    Pros: Easy to use
    Grades Used: K-5th

    I have been using McRuffy Press for 12 years. I have used kindergarten through 5th grade for my four children. I love the convenience and the fact it covers all of our needs. All of my children learned to read and developed a live of reading using the McRuffy. I recommend this curriculum to all who are just starting out. It has been a blessing to our family.

    Pros: All in one, easy to use.
    Cons: None
    Grades Used: K-3

    McRuffy Language Arts was my absolute favorite when my children were in early elementary! I loved that it included everything: reading, phonics, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and writing. I also loved that it was open and go and didn’t need much prep from me.
    They also provided great customer service whenever I needed something or had questions.
    McRuffy is a lesser known curriculum option, but I recommend it to all my friends!
