I am currently using Explode the Code and the I am Sam readers with my two dyslexics, and it is going very well. I am wanting to add in spelling, and I am wondering if All About Spelling or Spelling You See would be better for a dyslexic?

What do you recommend using for a high school art elective?

My daughter did the online WTM French 1 last year, and had an A in the class. I am considering switching to Breaking the Barrier French for this school year. Do you think we could go straight into Breaking the Barrier French 2?

I found MLFLE to be behind most other homeschool programs. The 6th grade level barely had any pre-algebra and most other programs do, so we have had to do a lot of that this summer to prepare her for 7th grade.
I think I heard that Masterbook's Principles of Mathematics is a two year pre-algebra program (7th and 8th). I guess if someone was going to continue on with POM it wouldn't be a problem, but I know not everyone will want to move on to if after MLFALE.

They are both solid programs. The more important thing is to pick one and stick with it. Singapore must be implemented correctly in order to fully benefit--use the HIG, teach the concept, use the textbook and workbook. (I'm mentioning this because a common mistake people make with Singapore is to just use the workbook.) CLE is incredibly thorough and the review is excellent. I started my kids with Rightstart and moved them to Singapore at Level 2. My math-minded DS has done very well with Singapore and I have no regrets about his math education. My DD has always struggled to retain the concepts and needed more repetition. We supplemented with Math Mammoth along the way for specific concepts (long division and fractions) as Singapore was not enough for her to master them. She did MLFLE last year. I'm switching her to CLE for 7th grade and we have had a lot of gaps to fill in this summer. If I could go back, I would have started her with CLE and done that the whole way through. But for my DS, Singapore has been perfect.
I was trying to choose between MLFALE, CLE, or Singapore for my 2nd and 3rd graders. Did you not like MLFALE?

A few things. One, it has them thinking about sounds in a different way, breaking down each word into phonemes, and sorting them by phoneme, underlying the phonemes, etc. That is really important for orthographic mapping. Two, it gives more practice on fewer words at a time than say, AAR. AAR fluency sheets were a full page of all different words. That was NOT enough practice for my DD to map each word in her brain for it to become automatic. Because each word was only seen once per page. The Abecedarian fluency pages have the same 8 words over and over, shuffled in various orders. That provides the needed repetition for her to actually start to map that word n her brain so she becomes fluent with it. It's also MUCH less frustrating for her. SO much less.
Did you use and would you recommend the Abecedarian reader for B, Aesop?
-
My two dyslexics (7&8) have done AbeCeDarian A, and are now halfway through B. Abecedarian is working really great for them, but we are needing some more fluency practice than their program offers. What books/resources would you suggest for building fluency?
-
Does anyone use and like this math curriculum? Do you think it is a complete curriculum?
-
I would love to hear your experience with either Horizons Math or CLE. I am trying to decide between these two for my 7 year old. Thanks!
-
I am trying to decide between The Good and the Beautiful year 1, or Beautiful Feet Around the World with Picture Books. Which one do you think would be more interesting for a second and third grader.
Thanks!

They came out with a new elementary Dimensions series. http://www.singaporemath.com/Dimensions_Math_s/219.htm It's been all over their facebook page too. Samples can be found here...http://dimensionsmath.com/sample-pages/.
I realize no one has probably used it yet, but just looking at the samples I wondered if anyone thought it might be a better option.

Math in Focus using the group buy at Homeschool Buyers Co-Op.
Why do you like Math in Focus more? I actually have MIF 1a here, but I thought Singapore Standards or their new elementary Dimensions might be more homeschool friendly to teach.
-
I got on the Singapore website this morning to order Singapore Standards, but I see they now have a new Dimensions Math available. Which one do you think is better, and do you think one looks easier to teach?
-
Thanks! I will definitely get the HIG. What manipulatives do we need to teach with the HIG? I have liking cubes, a base 10 set, and an abacus here.
-
Has anyone used Singapore Standards just using the textbook and student workbook (not using the HIG)?
Chemistry....Open Tent...WTM.....etc.

I am considering using Open Tent or The Well Trained Mind Academy for Chemistry. Has anyone used either of these? I would love to hear any feedback that you have. If you have used another online Chemistry that you love, please share! My daughter is familiar with WTM Academy and other online courses.
