What homeschoolers say about Demme Learning
Homeschoolers generally appreciate Demme Learning's All About Learning Press programs for their multisensory, step-by-step approach that supports struggling readers and spellers. Parents find the scripted lessons and hands-on activities helpful for building confidence and mastery, especially in early elementary grades. However, some note the programs can be time-consuming and require significant parent involvement, which may be challenging for busy families. The cost is considered moderate to high, but many feel the quality justifies the price. Overall, the materials are praised for their clear structure and effectiveness, though some wish for more flexibility in pacing.
