I used Singapore Math with my oldest daughter who just graduated from high school and loved the computer games that went with it. I noticed that Singapore has Matholia for a subscription. Has anyone used this? Is it as good as the old computer games were? Thanks!

We're using Pre-Algebra and we're not thrilled with the teacher. Sometimes she is confusing and always seems to be stumbling over words. I'm not sure what we're going to do next year. Math is NOT my thing. I'm going to talk to the my Homeworks consultant and see if she has a few lessons of the person that does Algebra before I blindly buy it. Frankly I'm surprised that they don't have someone a little better. Her other DVD teachers are outstanding.

We used it as a supplement to Reading Reflex.

Good one! I'm gonna have to try that.

Wow and I thought the last few months here had been hard. I'm so sorry. I'd take it easy. Your kids are still young. Do some, but just love on them. They've been through a lot.

Well, my dd learned the sound of the week as a preschooler and had a pretty good phonics base, but after several years and several very good OG type programs, we followed the neuropsych's suggestion and did a whole word program. We used the Amish program sold by Pathway Publishers and flashcards of the words in the stories. I was told by our resident expert at that time on this board that she would never read above a second grade level because we were using a whole word approach. She is 11 and reads 6th grade level books now, but what is more important is that she reads all the time. Since she's older now, she really does better with learning whole words in spelling and not focusing on the letters. We do lots of flashcards.

I sent my most severely disabled dd to PS for two years. It was a good experience. I found out she could do more than I thought she could. It may not be a popular decision here, but it was good for us.

I wanted to give you a hug. I have two special needs kids and we're in the process of adopting our third. It is overwhelming at times. Get whatever help you can.

Do BJU's Pre-Algebra. We're doing it now with the DVD's. I wouldn't suggest the DVD's. The teacher is not the greatest and at times even confusing.

My eldest struggled with her facts. I finally let her use a chart and she eventually got them. My youngest dd uses a calculator, but she has brain damage that prevents her from remembering her facts. Giving her a calculator was a big step, but she is much happier now. I wish we had done it sooner.

We are using BJU DVD's this year. It has been good for us and we will do it again next year.

I remember her from Sonlight a very long time ago, too.

I didn't realize that. I will see if I can figure out who she is. We were doing her Am. Art lessons when she died.

on their flyer which came in my order. Does anyone know how her family is doing? I miss "seeing" her.

I used it in combination with Art In Story and Sister Wendy's Story of Painting.
