We have used Grade 3 Abeka readers. I don’t know how the compare to AAR however I loved the selection of stories in the books because it opened our eyes to a lot of books we had never heard of before but are now interested in reading. Some stories are very patriotic and because we are Canadians we didn’t know about a few of the people as well as people in the US might, however once again our eyes were opened to history and interesting titles that we now want to read. Some are very funny and had the girls and I giggling. They personally loved the readers and when we got GR4 they couldn’t wait to start reading them.
