IMO it's a rare 9/10yo who can "self-teach" with an online program. I would absolutely look into a different program for her, especially if she's already struggling. Math Mammoth is very cheap and written to the student (but isn't really "self-teaching"). There are free videos to assist you with concepts if you don't understand it or need a refresher. Saxon can be obtained pretty cheaply used, probably $30-45. If you wanted to be really budget concious, you could teach from the Teaching Textbooks pdf/text itself and then give her the problems on paper since that is included in the program.

I'm beyond pale, so I've switched to long sleeve rashguards and pants. I purchased mine on Amazon 3+ years ago and it's still going strong! Plus I've saved tons of money on sunscreen lol

Dragon is a weird December birthday, and she started K this year even though she wouldn't have been in K in public school. She's doing really well though so I think we're going to push forward with a more academic/1st grade year and see how it goes. Worst case is that she's overwhelmed and I pull back. Math: Math with Confidence 2nd. She's flying through MWC 1st, so hopefully she slows down considerably since the next level won't be out for over a year. Reading/Writing: Logic of English Foundations C. I've heard most kids slow down significantly from B to C, so we'll see. She's doing well with a lesson per day in B so far. Science: Interest-led, supplementing with GenerationGenius and MysteryScience History: History Quest Ancients Geography/Lit: Exploring the World Through Story (Level B) Literature: Lots of read alouds and audiobooks

Math: Finish Saxon 5/4 (just started) and possibly 6/5. He's math-minded but he seems to have skipped over some foundational skills so we're trying to go back and fill those gaps. I'm hoping to transition to Beast once he's back "on level" since I think it would work well for him. Composition: Writing & Rhetoric 3 & 4 Grammar: Z&B GUM Science: probably interest-led, maybe. History: History Quest Ancients. He previously was reading CC with my oldest son, but I think that is a tad above his comprehesion level, so I'm going to pair him with his sister to restart the history cycle. Geography & Lit: Exploring the World Through Story (Level D) He begged to go back to public school this year after winter break, which we allowed, but it's been a waste of time academically. The only good element is all the social time he's getting. He's very happy being around his peers every day. We're going to be moving at some point in the next few months, and then I'd really love to find a good hybrid/community school so the kids can go 1-3 days a week. The hope is to satisfy this kiddo's social needs with his academic needs at home.
