  1. Mthfr. Also there is a cheek swab genetic test that tells you if you have comparability with psych meds.
  2. I can't vote because option three doesn't apply. My thoughts are adequate grammar and don't worry about supplementing for 1 year.

  5. Have you guys seen this?! https://www.google.com/amp/s/allinonehighschool.com/2014/08/03/free-computer-courses-for-homeschoolers-only/amp/
  6. I just tried to view that site and the box to subscribe was huge and annoying. I didn't see anything on there about the PP, but subscribed anyway to make the box go away. I still don't see any lessons, and after about 2 minutes the box came back! If anyone sees anything else, please share!
  7. I have it. We are doing it next year. I have fumbled through it and while some books are out of print, it is just as easy to stick another on the same topic in its place. There is a fb group too.
  8. How about simply, by the end of x grade, I expect x,y,z to be developing/developed. Hopefully knowing that children learn and develop at different rates. And please... don't start anything formal with your 3 year old.
  9. We've made some changes. Still need some ideas for what to do after MM7. Does anyone have any good online basic computer classes? Just maybe basic Word skills?
  10. I am looking for a history/geography supplement for my 6th grade daughter. She loves to draw, and I think this might be right up her ally. She prefers to work alone and then talk things through. Has anyone had success or tremendous failures using this curriculum independently?
  11. maybe suggesting that she put a few notes down would help.
  12. That's a big part of it for her, I think. She is super quick with most things. Things that take more thinking or more time such as math word problems and reading comprehension, she just shuts down. I do this myself though. I took an exam yesterday. It's really just a test taking strategy. If I have to think for more than 20-30 seconds, I circle the question and move on. I finish the exam and go back. I give my self another 60 seconds or so and then move on to the next circled question. I repeat the process and give myself a little more time each "round" to think it through until I'm either finished or out of time. She can not skip questions. She will sit there stuck on number 2/25 until I stop her, and then it's a huge melt down because she can't change gears to another subject since she's still mentally on number 2. I don't know how to help her with that! I didn't realize how much ADD was affecting her school work. :(
  13. I will look for that one too. She likes "detective" stuff.
  14. Her spelling is generally good, and she can read fluently. She glosses over details. We tried EM reading comprehension 6, and she found it so boring. She can usually narrate back to me, but hates to do it and hadn't had much practice in the test format. I think I will use ELTL to help me gauge that.
  15. Sorry, they were too big to upload, so I had to share them through google.
