[Help, I can't remember the name of a book]

Yes!  Thank you so much!

[Help, I can't remember the name of a book]

This winter I was trolling the forum when a "how to" type book was mentioned again and again.  It was about how to study great books; there was an adult and a junior version, I think.  For the life of me I cannot remember the name nor find the old threads. Does anyone have any clue what it could have been?

[George Washington biography recommendations??????]

I need to find a biography of George Washington for my middle school co-op.  Has anyone know of one that is not so textbook-ish?

[RightStart Math Games Kit]

the kit includes all the appendices.

[Curriculum that uses Bible as reader]

rod and staff uses the Bible (paraphrased to grade level) and has corresponding workbooks

[If you have a visual-spatial learner , which curriculum works best ?]

AAS works wonders for my highly visual ds. Not only is he becoming a great speller, I think AAS is helping to remediate his poor auditory skills. Spelling words are mastered both visually and kinesthetically making the auditory component (dictation) relatively easy. He is forced to practice auditory skills but in a very non-threatening way.

For History, we also draw, color, map, timeline while reading SOTW - I try to find library picture books to show him before we begin to give him a visual framework.

Science - Apologia Lapbooks! - Live and Learn Press makes a great one.

Thanks for this post - I was desparately researching new math programs for him, but now am going to check out Mammoth and Singapore because of these great responses. Thank you!!!!

[Questions on Voyages in English 2006 edition]

We started last month - very easy, but covers the basics and kids love it. Definitely start with the 2nd grade book. I have a 1st and 2nd grader so we use both books; the content is extremely similiar - the 2nd grade book just uses higher vocabulary, longer sentences, more practice problems.

[If you've used the Victory Drill Book]

I didn't find the TM necessary as it mainly covers classroom ideas: scheduling, communication with parents, grading, incentives, remedial plans, and even bulletin board ideas. The drill book itself is great - really helped with fluency and my kids loved it!
