I'm so excited my oldest is old enough to really understand and care to follow this. I told him this morning, you will remember this time for the rest of your life:)

my favorite is Right Start, but I'm no longer using it. I don't have the time. We switched to Abeka 3, because it is easier for me to follow the MODG syllabus. However in MODG 4th it switches to Saxon 5/4. RS gave him a great foundation. Now I hardly have to teach him any math.

I try to do the red cards once a week. Sometimes we skip several weeks, but the yellow cards are done at least 3 times a week.

Adoremus Books sells it and every year at Easter they email out a 20% off code.

I loved RS B. I did Singapore 1 A and B as well with my oldest. (That was my first go at homeschooling, and I was doing too much.) I'd suggest RS B with Singapore's IP books. That being said, I'm now using Abeka and will then go to Saxon, because it is easier for me to follow the MODG Syllabus.

I bought SSL several years ago and didn't care for it. I ended up waiting. Our program uses English From the Roots Up flash cards this year in 3rd grade. We'll start a formal Latin next year. I like the flash cards a lot. They are both Latin and Greek.

I use PLL and will use Ill with the Mother of Divine Grace Syllabus. I like it, but I also use FLL, because it isn't enough for me. Emmanuel books carries them.

I don't see sound literacy on the kindle app store :(

We are moving soon, and I recently bought a kindle. I'm not moving anything I don't have to. Thanks for looking into it.

Does AAS have apps for their tiles yet? Will they soon?

We use the Learnables.

We used Year One last year. My son loved it. This year we are doing Memoria Press along with the AO selections, and a few other things, so we are not strictly AO. I use a formal spelling curriculum, and we are also going to start a formal grammar curriculum next year.
Here are some bookmarks i made for Years One and Two:

HTH!
Wow I love these bookmarks. I was going through AO's booklists recently. I love how much of it is on kindle.

Otoh, I get frustrated by the nearly complete ignoring of the French and Spanish in most other texts. Usually just a blurb that amounts to, "and oh yeah, there were some other colonies too.."
I also find that most texts don't get into the very morbid stuff before 7th grade ish. Idk why because most literature programs sure don't shy from the subjects way earlier than that.
As a Florida girl that moved to Virginia in 2007 I could not stop rolling my eyes at the hoopla over the 400th anniversary of the first colony, Jamestown. Hello people, St. Augustine was founded decades before........

I use the Mcall-Crabbs quizzes twice a week. Each quiz takes 3 minutes.

My oldest used FLL 1 in 1st grade. He was in school last year, so this year he is going though FLL2 and will then move into FLL3. My DS2 is just starting his formal first grade syllabus this week, but I won't add in FLL 1 with him until the fall.

My DH said that I should be able to get any android app though.......Still wondering....

We began using Mother of Divine Grace this year with my 3rd grader. It uses Abeka's 3rd grade history book along with lots of living history titles. I really like the combination of a text and living history. We had studied ancient history, and we also use Classically Catholic Memory Alpha (similar) to Classical Conversations. It was no problem for us to jump in history, especially with learning the timeline in CCM. We will move into Beta in the spring and cover the middle ages which we had skipped. Ambleside is a great resource for living history titles, too.

We use FLL. I did try WWE but dropped it. We did SOTW 1, but we probably won't use the other volumes.
-
We use the Learnables. DS1 started it in first grade. He took almost an entire year off when he went back to school. I was amazed that he picked up right where he left off this year. I loaded the tracks into my amazon cloud and he listens to them on my kindle while looking at the book. FOr now, I like that it isn't a computer program we have enough screen time as it is. I bought it through the Homeschool Buyers co-op,. I probably have another two years of material before I'll need something else. He also studies the English from the roots up cards with MODG 3, and he sometimes recognizes words from French.

I'm looking at K12 2nd Grade history for that time period.
-
We spent two years on Ancient History. Then we jumped to new world/colonial/etc... with MODG 3rd. When we move into CCM Beta we'll focus on the time period we skipped over (End of Rome, Middle Ages, Renaissance. I'm looking for something I can stick with to study that period more. I was looking at K12 2nd grade history, and I think that would work well.
Does anyone have feedback on k12 history?
Thank you.

Hi,
I see that the app is available for android, but I don't see it in my app store on kindle or in amazon. Is it available for kindle?

I use FLL for my 3rd grader, though I'm only on FLL 2. We did FLL 1 when he was in first grade, but he went back to school for a year. I put the grammar definition sentences in his AAS review box and go over them frequently. I also use Primary Language Lessons with the Mother of Divine Grace Syllabus.
'Lite' Grammar
in K-8 Curriculum Board
Posted
Primary Language Lesson by Emma Serl is very 'Lite'. We have done FLL 1 and are now on FLL 2 in addition to using PLL w/ MODG. After reading many women from MODG write about how their kids are so solid in grammar in 9th grade, because of how they do it over and over in 6th, 7th, and 8th I'm thinking of going 'Lite" with the next child. That being said, I do have my DS1 recite grammar definitions.
