Is this the same Saxon Math so many home schooler’s use but public schools said was “too expensive”. Seems there was also a Saxon Phonics that our school did buy. Or is this something different? Just curious.

You’re correct about Saxon Math being a popular choice for homeschoolers. As to the phonics, I can’t say.

Yes he had a phonics program also. The math program was very structured and repetitive-and very good for most children. It came in consumable work books and most districts didn’t want to pay every year for consumable workbooksfor each child. Also the fact that it was not created by a ‘real’ educator was a thorn in the side for approval in a union run school district.

Saxon Algebra, Saxon Phonics....anything educational is this John Saxon. He wrote or co-wrote about 12 books.

Niki Hayes and others are now engaged in a project to keep the name and legend alive. I’ll be helping.

Her site is saxonmathwarrior.com.
