  1. Can you give info about what slant that would be?
  2. Thanks everyone! I was feeling like I kept running into walls, but now there is hope! If you have more ideas, keep them coming. Oh, and she does have a tiny bit of speech delay on certain words. At first I thought it was her accent, but I don't think so anymore.
  3. I asked her and she said she's never had her hearing tested. She said she would talk to her mom about it. She's 39. Yes, she has dyslexia and a mild developmental delay. We started off with a "regular" reading program, then switched to Wilson which did not work at all. Used Explode the Code which was better but it wasn't until Phonics Pathways that I realized that until we get this vowel thing worked out she's not going to get anywhere
  4. Hi - I'm working with an adult who know her consonants but has trouble hearing the difference between vowels. For instance, if I ask her what letter makes the short i sound, she will often associate it with igloo but will mispronounce it as "eggloo" and tell me that e makes the i sound. I have tried switching her association words and it doesn't seem to help. I have worked with her for over a year and am almost at the point where I will have to tell her I cant help her. Please if you have any ideas I am all ears

  6. Hi - I was wanting to add a Latin American unit to Sonlight Core F - any ideas of books that would be appropriate for middle schoolers? I want to cover major historical figures as well as some historical fiction.
  7. Hi - what would be a good book that profiles different Native American tribes and has great photos/illustrations?
  8. Oh, and we are doing math because she wants to work on her money skills.
  9. Thanks! I was able to order stuff by Ronit Bird from the library! Will have to check out the rest of it later. I don't think she has issues with counting or transposing numbers (just letters). I wish I had more info to give you! :/
  10. She does - she's an adult actually. I know she has dyslexia, but not sure what else.
  11. Hi - does anyone have any good ideas about how to transition to mental math from counting on fingers. Thanks!
  12. The teacher's guide is a must for fun supplemental activities, but Continuing the Story is not.
  13. Haven't used it yet, but I own the curriculum by Lesha Myers and it looks fantastic. I can't imagine Beautiful Feet's being any better. :)
  14. Thanks all for your help - I think I will just put it off for awhile and stick to Spanish. :)
  15. Ok - I know I'm probably getting a little ahead of myself, but please humor me. What do you think for a wordy girl? K - SSL 1 1 - SSL 2 2 - Minimus, GSWL 1 3 - Minimus Secundus, GSWL 2 (?) 4 - I Speak Latin 5 - Lively Latin 1 6 - Great Latin Adventure 1 7 - Great Latin Adventure 2 8 - Latin in the Christian Trivium 1 9 - LitCT 2 10 - LitCT 3 11 - LitCT 4 12 - AP Latin
  16. I was wondering about American history activity resources for the K-2 range. I would love if there were an activity guide similar to SOTW! Thanks!
  17. Oh, and this would be in 8th grade in preparation for TOG rhetoric. We might not do full rhetoric right out of the gate, but still, it would be nice to know.
  18. I would really like to take a year off of TOG to study non-western cultures. Sonlight's Core F might fit the bill nicely, but it says that it's for grades 5-8 and my dc would be used to working at TOG dialectic level. I would think that it's close enough, but I don't know enough about SL to assess its rigor. Thoughts?
  19. Uh, it's boring. Well, at least, the first part of the book before they get out to California moves very slowly, IMO. I loved the second half of the book
  20. I'm an INTP - totally T about telling others what to do but P about getting my own stuff together. Um, yeah. :glare:
  21. Ah! I could really use these. Thanks. :001_smile:
