The problem with a "Christian World View" is that not all Christians will agree with it. But TTP (The Truth Project) does do a nice job of laying out a particular Christian view. If you like Focus on the Family (or Summit), it would be a good option...however, if you want something that is similar but designed for late high school/early college I think Focus on the Family's True U would be a better choice. True U has three videos dealing with Does God Exist? Is the Bible Reliable? and Who is Jesus? To be honest, it is probably more apologetics vs worldview, but there is a decent amount of overlap between the two. The audience is made up of young college students and they are definitely the target audience. Perhaps it is not a complete worldview curriculum, but it does answer three very important questions that a Biblical Worldview must address.

I have read it, though it has been a few years. "The Bible, Rocks and Time" is probably the best book out there from Christian geologists supporting a traditional old earth perspective. That said, I would hesitate using it as a spine for a high school class. The writers teach at a university level and although they write for a large audience...I am sure that it is mostly geared to a college-age audience. I do think it is an excellent book for the "teacher" to read and to make use of in various ways. You could even assign sections or discuss some of his evidence and conclusions that run counter to YEC geology. For those who believe in an Old Earth but not evolution, the authors only deal with geology in the book.

It is a simple, one page a week, list of words. Here is a link for it at a customized Amazon.com store http://astore.amazon.com/comppoin-20/detail/1576907503 Here is a review from Amazon.com This is a great resource for a list-based spelling program. There are 196 lessons that allow you to go at your own pace. The first 20 (for the second half of 1st grade) have ten words per lesson. By 3rd grade it has 20 words per lesson. The core of the book is made up of 3000 of the most highly used words (according to an American Heritage study). In addition, 100 picture nouns have been added in the early lessons in order to make reading comprehension and sentence practice more feasible. The reason I like this resource so much is because it is simple, just one sheet covers the lesson for the week (and you have permission to copy that sheet for your learners). It also includes basic phonics and variant forms. The end of the book has lists of grammar rules and various phonetic charts. Another reason I like it is because it helps with reading...each week our kids are exposed to high frequency words that they are bound to come across in the course of their independent readings. The only downside is that, because of the approach Dr Fry has taken, words are not grouped together by similar phonemes or morphemes. Nevertheless, this is an excellent resource and one that we use with our children.

K9 is nice since it is free, but it is also nice since it is highly customizable. For instance, you can block social networking as well as a variety of other items. Plus you can block (or unblock) any individual website you desire.

With our first born daughter, we tried everything to teach her to read. Nothing worked until we gave her the first Pathway Reader. I picked it up at a local bookstore. It didn't look impressive (no advanced graphical designs), but it was cheap. It lay on the bookshelf for a few months before we tried it. However, from the beginning, she loved it. Her younger sister (who started reading at four) has followed her steps and is giving her a run for her money. ;-) If you want something phonics-based, you'll likely be disappointed. But if you want some simple readers that promote good values...these are a good buy.

Since you mentioned ID, I assume you might be more sympathetic to an "Old Earth" perspective. Answers in Genesis represents the "Young Earth" perspective very well. For the ID side of things, for Grammar stage there isn't that much out there. Though Michael Carroll's book on Dinosaurs is well done. Depending on the age and maturity level of your child, a video of "Icons of Evolution" could also work as well. Down the road, you might be interested in The Design of Life: Discovering Signs of Intelligence In Biological Systems by Dembski and Wells. Ultimately, the best approach, for the grammar stage, might be to let the Creation/Evolution controversy remain in the background (for the most part) and explore together the incredibly intricate creation. That is, treat science as a time to discover together just how well designed the universe (or a species) is. When your child sees just how incredibly complex life (and the inorganic world for that matter) is...then one can begin to work through the mechanisms for how God did it all. For me, the who (that is God) did it question looms far larger than the when and how questions. Lastly, another website to check out... http://www.reasons.org

I'll admit that Dr Fry's Spelling Book isn't usually on the top ten list of spelling resources here. Nevertheless, it is an excellent resource if you want a simple way to use a list-based approach to teaching spelling. The Spelling Book is made up of 196 lessons (one page each) with between 10 (for 1st Grade) and 20 (by 3rd Grade) words to memorize. The core of the book is based on 3000 of the most highly used words (according to American Heritage) and 100 picture nouns (which help with reading and sentence production). You have permission to copy the book and each lesson is self-contained on the page with the words to memorize at the top and then various other optional things like basic phonics, sentences, variant forms etc. We've enjoyed using it with our dd8 and dd6. We've scanned the book and print out pages as needed. One of the benefits of using a high-frequency word list is that it also helps with independent reading, since they are being exposed to words that occur the majority of the time. Spelling book is a simple approach...do a page a week and don't worry about anything else. Because it is simple, it can't do everything other programs can (ie. it doesn't group words together based on common morphemes for example), but what it does do, it does very well.

One of our daughters is in 3A and the other is in 1A. I suppose it does depend on your level of math ability, but we haven't had any need for a teacher's guide yet. I have heard that some find them helpful by the 5a/b level. Keep in mind that the level of math in levels 1-3 is relatively simple (nothing that a fourth or fifth grade level of math couldn't handle). One thing we have found helpful, is that periodically our daughters will hit a "roadblock" and tears will soon start falling which are closely followed by loud protestations concerning the difficulty of math in general. On these occasions, we take a break from Singapore for a few weeks, do some workbooks (Schoolzone, Spectrum, that kind of thing) and then come back to Singapore usually with no difficulties. I do second the point that you need to use both the textbook and the workbook (chiefly because the textbook will show both of you how to do it!)

Our children our still at the Grammar Stage so take this lightly... Grades K-6 Singapore Primary Math. Supplemented with Schoolzone or Spectrum Workbooks to give them a feel for the "American way". Grades 7-10 (11) Singapore New Math Counts (unless one of them is exceptionally gifted at math, although even then I think I would be inclined to stick with NMC and just go at a fast pace.) Supplement with PSAT, SAT, and ACT prep workbooks. Grades 11-12 Transition to a traditional Trig and Calc textbook (possibly seek dual credit at a community college.)

We have just begun with Latin for Children A. We are doing it for our 3rd Grader primarily, but our 6 yr old is getting dragged along for the ride. So far, she is doing very well. She did start reading at age 4 and can read chapter books now. I still wouldn't use LFC if she was my oldest. I would prefer for her to have a more thorough grounding in the English language first, but I have to admit that she is doing very well so far.

We are using the Bible for Children curriculum from Classical Academic Press http://www.classicalacademicpress.com/bfc_primers.html for our 1st and 3rd grade daughters. We initially bought only one student book thinking that it might be beyond our 1st grade daughter, but she wanted to get involved in it as well. Both daughters have enjoyed it thus far. We went with Bible for Children because it goes through the Bible (volume 1 (the only one currently available) goes through Genesis to Ruth (plus Job)) and our church is using a values oriented curriculum which we didn't feel was provided a sufficient grounding in the Biblical story. If finances are a concern, the teacher's manual isn't absolutely necessary for those who have a pretty good understanding of the Bible. But it can be helpful at times. Check out the link above...it should give you a good feel for whether or not this curriculum is something you might want to try.
