Hello 'Mrs. Bean',
Little Flower K5 uses Saxon Math too. I like their booklets. My sister-in-law gave me a Leap Frog DVD called 'The Word Factory'. She bought it at Walmart for $8. My 'Missy' loves it and has learned so much the first day we watched it. I would pause it at the word they would spell and have her write it in her comp book, then spell it, and then sound it out. I would then play it and she would hear if she got it right or wrong. She caught on about half way through the lesson. Thanks for the webpage. Good luck and God Bless!!
