  1. We use All About Spelling. We’re only on book 2 but since we also use All About Reading, AAS reinforces what was already taught in AAR.
  2. My son struggles with math. Spiral is good because there is a ton of review but mastery allows more systematic learning which has been a better fit for us learning math facts. Right now we’re using MUS along with CTC. We spent almost an entire school year on Alpha - just learning addition and subtraction math facts. We did make progress, the most we have than with any other curriculum we’ve used (which is a lot). That said, I’m apprehensive to spend so much time on a set skill, which seems how MUS is set up. Sounds like it might be what you’re looking for though.
  3. You might look at Critical Thinking Co. Their Mathematical Reasoning workbooks are color and have a lot of review. Also, they use letters instead of numbers for the grade level. Level D is equivalent to grade 3. Also, just a heads up they have a sale right now (I just made a purchase from them).
  4. Thanks for sharing! I'm always struggling to find simple ways to work on sentence structure. Excited to add something new in this area!
  5. I find myself with so little time, reading is not something I am able to do enough of. So, I subscribed to audible fairly recently and am looking for book recommendations. I homeschool my 10 year old son who has ASD, ADHD, and Speech Disorder. He struggles with a lot, however his executive function along with coordination and working memory are his most challenging. I know with audio books in general, narration can be an issue even when the book content itself is well regarded. Also, some books, especially self-help and educational type books, are best in paper format for copying pages w/ forms, lists, etc. If anyone has any recommendations on audible books geared towards executive function, body/brain coordination, working memory, etc. for children, I would love to hear them. Also, if there are any audible books geared towards children that cover these same topics but from a different perspective, that would be great too! TIA :)
  6. Hi - First post on these forums :) Not sure about Barton - when I looked into it, it seemed premature for my DS based on a short video I watched on their site. Instead we started AAR and so far it is working better than anything else we've tried. Memory is terrible and he never "masters" anything, but we are still making progress (although slow). There is much I like about AAR, tho in regards to "sight words" - I like that they call them "rule breakers" instead. This eliminates some "sight words" that are phonetic and takes away some confusion for my 9yo DS. I also like that sight words are introduced slowly while the majority of words introduced (systematically) are phonetic.
