we used it several years ago and DS loved it! He retained almost all the info, as well. I thin that would be a wise choice with your other curricula. homemama

This sounds like a great idea! I want to bookmark this thread, for all the great suggestions. homemama

You might want to check out Spelling Power. With SP, you only have to buy one book for all your spelling. It is rule based, but the kids move through the levels at their own speed. You can choose what activities to use and there are no worksheets! You can find it at Rainbow Resource or CBD. homemama

You inspire me Ellie! I love to read your posts here and at homeschool reviews. Keep on keeping on! fun@home

YES! :-) The DVD really worked great here! We watched this instead of using the book. Times Tales was worth every penny! :-) homemama

This is so sad!! She was sooo encouraging! My prayers go out to her family! homemama

This is very helpful! : Thanks for sharing! homemama

Prayers going up for her and her family... homemama

DS is an only and will remain an only. I'm almost 49 and too old to have kids no adoption in the future either. I agree with the previous poster, "endless chatter" . DS is 11. homemama

Thanks for letting me know! Hopefully, it will be back soon. homemama

O.k., I just checked and I previously had oodles of good feedback and now it's all gone! I'm about to hyperventilate!! What has happened????? homemama

Well, the new forum wouldn't take my password, so had to get new one! Now, the system won't let me change passwords to something that I will remember. Waiting for help on this one. Maybe, they'll see this post! homemama

I can so relate!:tongue_smilie: My son is a math hater too! I am looking at trying the ACE math Accelerated Christian Education. They have a placement test online that would place your son. homemama

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug Praying for your family.... I would suggest the Bible with family devotions, picking out scriptures filled with hope and contentment. homemama

This thread is worth another bump....:001_smile: homemama
