If I just wanted it for the 5th?
It's just one program for any grade, so you can use it for both of them. In the beginning, your older son would go through the program at level one just like your younger son. You can read through the package choices and decide what you really need. So far, we have not incorporated Grammar Works, which is the grammar program to compliment Reading Works.
It can be a little overwhelming at first and I don't think I could do the program justice trying to describe it briefly, but if you contact the Pattersons they will answer any questions you may have. The contact information is on their site. They offered to talk to me over the phone several times and they are really nice people. Jay Patterson taught The Writing Road to Reading for struggling kids for years, then he and his wife started doing workshops and people begged him to write a program. He shares years of research and experience in the material and it was very encouraging!
