Anyone afterschool AAS? Would it work on weekends?

[BrandonMommy]

Wondering has anyone done AAS2 afterschool or on weekends?

 

My DD7 will be starting school in a second language this year. She complained last year that she doesn't know how to spell enough words and wants to learn more. So I'm keen on continuing with Spelling and WWE2 to work on her writing.

 

But I'm not sure how much time in the afternoons/evenings we'll have for homeschool.I think WWE2 will be easy for us on weekends because we've combined two days into one before, it's written for 4 days and she likes listening to the passages.

 

Not so sure if we can do AAS for two days and be successful since it seems most do it 3-5 days a week. What do you think? Any experience with this?

We do -- we're on 5 but we long ago cut the board (this speeds things up) and scaled it to 10 minutes a day 5 days a week. I think you COULD be successful at 2 days a week but for us its easier to do a very short period-- just more often.

I think you could do longer lessons on the weekends and holidays (remember there are only 180 days of school, 185 school days free to afterschool!)  So do the lessons with the tiles and introducing new topics on the weekends then do a quick 10 minute review (dictation sentences, extra practice words, etc.) two days during the week that only involve getting out a notebook and writing - no tiles.
