What parents say about Logic of English
A summary of public parent feedback we read on forums, app stores and review sites. It is not a set of Edulist family reviews.
Cathy Duffy lists both Foundations and Essentials among her 103 Top Picks, describing Foundations as ideal to begin at kindergarten for most children and Essentials as a structured, integrated course for students ages seven and up. Parent discussion commonly praises the logic of the rules and notes the heavy prep and teaching time.

Questions
Is Logic of English good for homeschool?
Yes. It is widely used at home, and Cathy Duffy lists both lines as Top Picks. Expect to teach each lesson yourself, so it suits parents who can set aside time daily.
Is Logic of English good for dyslexia?
Logic of English is an explicit, systematic structured literacy program, and Essentials is designed for older striving readers. Children with significant dyslexia may also need one-on-one Orton-Gillingham tutoring; talk with your child's evaluator about intensity.
