Right now they are taking online Arabic and Quran lessons, but when we start homeschooling they might go to in-person Saturday school for Arabic. I also have a Noorani Qaida app and "Gateway to Arabic" Books 1 and 2 that I can use with them if Saturday school is only Quran memorization and not Arabic (I still have to find out the details). Once they've mastered Noorani Qaida I'm hoping they can study Nahw and Sarf using the free Bayyinah Intensive lessons available on YouTube. I've worked through several of the intensives myself and the instruction is very high-quality. That would be more at the middle school level. I'm realizing that "ahead" by public school standards isn't the same as homeschool standards. She wasn't in gifted math this year but her teacher recommended her for it next year. We went through the TG&TB 4 pre-test and there were a lot of concepts that she was either shaky on or hadn't seen at all yet, so I thought it might be better to start with 3, skipping over concepts she already knows, and then moving on to 4. She still has almost 2 months left of public school so we'll see where she's at by summer. I also think Spelling Workout B might be too easy, but WTM recommended that new homeschool students as old as 4th grade start with level B. Her school uses the Fundations phonics program so she has a strong background in phonics already.

This would be my first year homeschooling my 3 kids (4th, 2nd, and K, plus a baby due in November, yikes), so I am open to any and all suggestions. I have the 3rd Edition of WTM and am pretty much just using that as a starting point. According to public school, 4th grader is on grade level with ELA and ahead in math. Math: The Good and the Beautiful Level 3 (starting with this since it's free, if we don't like it my next option would be Singapore Common Core) ELA: Spelling Workout B, First Language Lessons Level 4, The Complete Writer Level 4, Cursive Handwriting Workbook for Kids (Beginning Cursive) History: SOTW Book 1 Ancients Science: still unsure, planning on using the encyclopedias mentioned in WTM plus some e-books since we have an Epic Books subscription and the kids love it Foreign Language: we study classical Arabic instead of Latin since we are Muslim; it has a similar rigid structure to Latin. She also wants to study ASL so I may sign her up for a $33/month online course called Learn How to Sign This feels like a lot, but I plan to combine history and science with younger kids. Since we are newbies I will be starting out slowly focusing primarily on math and ELA.
