I've enjoyed KISS Grammar (FREE online program) tremendously.

Play dough to keep the hands busy works for my little one.

BOB Books. The first couple of boxes are very straightforward in terms of phonics and only introduce one or two sight words at a time.
Also, my little one loved making words from our School Zone flashcards.

Thanks,
I've got a not quite 10 yr old that would love this!

My kinesthetic dd enjoys doing a science scrapbook.

I'm thinking about subscribing to a science magazine for my kids, ages 8, 10, and 13 and would love to know what your favorite science magazine for kids is.
Thanks,
Debbie

Dd is in the 7th grade and we just recently switched from MUS to MM. We had to go back to the 4th grade MM books, but it has definitely been worth it to cover some of the concepts in MM that were never even touched on in MUS. Switching at 2nd grade level shouldn't put you back far at all as Maria Miller really tries to be sure that the students grasp basic arithmetic before moving on.
HTH,
Debbie

Sure you can, wanna sell it to me???:D

My ds started wanting to learn to read at 3 1/2 he's now not quite 5 and has read through 2 1/2 sets of Bob Books and we're working on OPGTR. He thinks it's fun and is glad he can read like his older siblings. The biggest problem I can think of with little ones learning to read early is the need to distract them in the public bathroom stalls. :001_smile:

It looks good, but rather pricy.

You could do Ellen McHenry's The Elements and Carbon Chemistry.
My dd is in 7th this year and we enjoyed Ellen McHenry's The Elements alongside of RS4K Level 1. The Periodic Table- Elements with Style was also a fun read.
-
You could use the cumulative reviews to assess where to start him in the program.

Bring just a little bit of water in the bottom of the pot to a boil, add baking soda and continue to boil until the baking soda stops fizzing. It should wipe off after that. Repeat the process until all of the burnt food has let go of the pot.

Hi,
I'm Scott. My wife Debbie showed me your post because I'm actually doing my thesis (MA religious studies) on problems in the Evangelical church. To avoid misleading, we are Anglican (under Rwanda) and therefore Liturgical & Evangelical, (not liberal). I am studying with an Eastern Orthodox professor.
Anyway, wanted to share a couple of resources I mentioned to my wife.
Bradley Nassif is an excellent Orthodox Theologian often involved in dialogue with Evangelicals. One dialogue can be heard here:

Also his article here:

Hope they are helpful.

I didn't read the entire thread and am not sure what all has been suggested, but try KISS grammar. It's free! :D

Has anyone ever used this?
-
DD 7th says that she doesn't know how to put something into her own words. How do I teach that? Do I just show her several examples and hope she gets it eventually?
Thanks ; )

Ellen McHenry's Organic Chemistry program is good for middle school, and she has lots of games and additional info at her website, too, but it alone is not meaty enough for an entire year's worth of work, in my opinion. I am using it this year, but along with her Elements program, another chemistry program called Friendly Chemistry, John Tiner's history of chemistry book, a big workbook I found that drills him on the elements and matter, and a ton of other stuff I've put together. So no, it's not stand alone by any means unless you want to go light on science....
Do McHenry's programs overlap with Friendly Chemistry? What I saw of Friendly Chemistry seemed too much overlap for what it costs.

Love AAS here too, here's my blog review. If you purchase from the AAS website, they actually have a 1-year, 100% satisfaction guarantee.
We used spelling power before but it didn't work very well for us--my kids needed more in the way of spelling rules and other strategies, and more incremental teaching. I previewed but never tried SWO. Hope you find what will best fit your kids!
Merry :-)
Sorry, It's Life of Fred that only has 30 days on the guarantee:blushing:

Love AAS. Very thorough and it's got a 30 day money back guarantee as well ;)
-
Anyone else? :bigear:
-
I'm not sure EXACTLY what I'm looking for either :blush: Just hoping to get feedback from people who are in different denominations and therefore can give recommendations for something that comes from their viewpoint.

We also use a workbox type system. However, instead of boxes, we have pockets (like old school library book pockets) glued on the inside of a manilla folder. Each pocket holds a notecard (the length is cut down a bit) with a subject and a time limitation on one end and the word "done" on the other end. Once a subject is done (or our time runs out) it is flipped over and the kids and I can see the progress we've made. Also,if they need to work on their own, they can choose one of the subjects they don't need my help with while I'm occupied.
Oh, and I LOVE timers :D

I'm looking to compile a book list on church history. Looking to create a list that has books from different denominational viewpoints. Any ideas?:bigear:
The Art of Styling Sentences
in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
Posted
I've used it a bit with dd and am already seeing her use the sentence patterns she's imitated in her schoolwork. Dd is definitely a kinesthetic learner, so imitating sentences suits her.
