Hi All-I know I register as a "visitor" and feel a little conspicuous here, but haven't spent much time on forums and boards until recently. I hope some of you might be willing to share some thoughts. We've homeschooled for 9 years-I never wanted to homeschool, initially that is. But I had a child that I just knew would not succeed in a classroom, and out of much concern for him, kept him home to homeschool. He is my oldest. We got him tested early on, and he registered learning disabled in two major language categories, but with significant strengths in Math. I could summarize the next seven years, up till now, by saying, we've spent all these years trying to help him learn. We've focused in improving weak areas by targeting some special curriculum, while challenging him in his areas of strength. Overall, I'm pleased with where we are. Different tests have been suggested for him, but basically, it comes down to more money-which we don't have. So, we just keep faithfully plugging away here. With that said, we're trying to add Latin now, which we wanted to do years ago when I first read The Well Trained Mind. But after starting school with him, realized that language would be very hard for him and have had to step through most carefully. It seems that now that we're almost in high school, I might be able to successfully add Latin to his work. It can't be high maintenance, nor expensive. But I believe in the benefits of knowing some Latin. Do any of you have some helpful suggestions for me? I have read Duffy's reviews of Vocabulary from classical roots, but I guess this wouldn't really qualify as a Latin program would it? He is currently studying the English from the roots up cards and learning them fairly well. But thats about all. I should mention that I have younger ones that I can start as well, since their learning is more stable. So, something that I can get use out of with more than one child would be great.
