I am currently reading A Wrinkle in Time. I am really enjoying this book and I have A Wind in the Door waiting next. Have any of you (or your children) read this author's book? Are there any of her other books you particularly enjoyed?

I will definitely wait until the new book comes out to purchase it. Ah ... more waiting. *sigh*

Has anybody read this or is anybody here following this book? It looks VERY interesting to me.

Where would I find "Socratic Logic"?

Does it work to start with this program with no prior Logic experience or would you recommend we start with something else first? (and if so, what?)

Yes, it is for my 19 year old daughter. I am also looking for something for myself. I am not very creative however (if that makes any difference).

She's 19. She really wants to learn French eventually as well.

I know this subject has been mentioned a lot lately, but I have some questions myself. My daughter is very good at creative writing, but has no research/report writing skills. What would be a good program to use with her?

My daughter and I have no Latin experience at all and would both like to learn it. I am debating between using the Prima Latina program we already own or buying Latin for Children. Any other programs you think would be better can be suggested as well.

of Ray's Arithmetic?

I think I will look further into getting some.

What is RFH?

What level/s did you use and was it user friendly? I know I am asking a lot of questions tonight. It is just that I am researching a lot of stuff tonight. I appreciate your patience with me.

Are they good? What might you use in conjuction with them?

And do you also use it for copywork? If not, what do you use for copywork?

and just recently started posting some. I have a 19 year old daughter who was homeschooled since fifth grade. (See my other post for more information about our situation). I am also educating myself due to a poor public school education many years ago. I have been a single mother for most of my daughter's life and have been a cashier at Wal-Mart for three years and five days now.

She was removed from public school due to numerous factors including a low immune system. She was ill quite a bit of the time so we would prefer something she can do at home (whether it is in book form or online ... both are fine).

My daughter is 19 years old. She still lives at home with me since it only makes sense since it is just the two of us. She just graduated from a rather pathetic online school. It was one of those moves I wish I hadn't made. I just wanted her to graduate and didn't really think ahead to the future and how she can't do much with her lack of education now. She hasn't taken the SAT or ACT tests although at some point I think she should (she agrees). I am posting on this board because she is in my opinion gifted. She started reading at the age of 4 (on her own). She reads easily on College level now just through her own reading so much and just gradually increasing the level of the books she is reading. She hasn't even had Algebra 1 yet. She made it most of the way through PreAlgebra, but that was a while back. She has had very little science. She seems motivated enough to pick up what she missed along the way, but I have no idea where to start her (neither does she know what to do at this point). I am fairly certain none of you have older children, but maybe you know someone who does or have some advice for me anyway. I certainly would appreciate any responses. Thanks, Luanne

Does anyone use these? Would they be a good way to increase reading comprehension?

but I have to admit it is coming a whole lot easier to her than it is to me. *sigh*

I appreciate all the help. :)

The only exception would be history (particulary world history) in which my daughter tutors me instead.
