  1. Hi everyone! I’m looking for some support and advice for a working homeschool mom! Next year I am planning to work at least 2 days likely 3 per week, and will send my DD to a “school” (aka daycare!) where the kids teach themselves using the ACE/PACEs curriculum which I do NOT want her to use (For obvious reasons!). The school/daycare doesn’t care if she uses another curriculum as long as it’s independent. The kids do Spanish/PE/recess then have a couple blocks of an hour each they have to do their independent work. I think this will work really well with our math curriculum (which is Saxon) because there are oral lessons and worksheets, so we will stack up oral lessons and hands on learning our home days and more worksheets the “school” days. For the language arts and other subjects I don’t think this structure is as ideal however. She will only be in 2nd grade by age next fall, and will be a young 7. Anyone have any ideas of curriculum that could be oral/teacher intensive a couple days a week and independent for a little one the other days? Specifically reading & writing, Latin, science, history, geography etc. Anything that could be meaningful to her alone, not just busy work. Thanks in advance!!!
  2. Thank you all so much!! I ordered All About Spelling because it seemed like an easy transition from Spell to Write and Read. Hopefully it works for her 🤞. In SWR you “spell to read” (which obviously didn’t work in our case ha!) which is why we don’t even have a “phonics” program per se. Now I am wondering if I should have bought All About Reading instead 🤔. I am still intrigued by Spelling U See and Sequential Spelling so glad that there are more options out there!
  3. Hello all! I haven’t been part time homeschooling my 6 year old this school year, and now with the pandemic we’re full time homeschooling and may never go back. I’ve been trying to follow suggestions from the WTM book to guide my homeschool choices for the last 6 weeks but we are really struggling with writing and spelling. My daughter was in 1st grade at school this year, just for reference. She’s reading around late 2nd grade early 3rd level, very fluently aloud. However her spelling is just nonsensical. Words without vowels, etc. “Salt” she spelled “slt” yesterday, “whole” “hoo”, etc. we have been using Spell to Write and Read because that is what our local part time classical school uses. But when we go over the rule cards and phonograms some days it’s like I’m speaking in Chinese to her. We’re both frustrated. I am having a hard time figuring out what the disconnect is if she reads so well. SWR is also confusing to use/lesson plan, so I wonder if I should consider a new program? It combines phonics and spelling, so I hate to spend money on something new if we’re almost done needing to review phonics? How long do we go over phonograms? But I’m so green at this I don’t know what to expect with her development, and I don’t know what she needs from me for the next year. I wish I could just teach math, science and history all day 😭.
