I used the IEW. It was a very good program.

My family uses Science Excursion grades 4-6 Story of the World for History Queen Homeschooling for English These have all worked well for my 4 kids.

Try Sceince Excusion for Science. It was made to make it easy on the partents. Story of the World is a great history progam that is also easy so that you don't have to do much work.

I would reccomend using Science Excusion. It is all hands on. It all comes in a box so that you don't have to go find of buy anything. It can be done with more than 1 child. It also covers all areas of science.

Have you ever considered useing the Phonics Zoo Program?

I used the course in 6th grade. It is well worth the money. It teaches you the basics for writing. Things like how to do an outline, the different writing styals. It is a great program.

I would recommed Science Excusion. I have 3 brothers and sisters and we have all used it and loved it. It teaches all the areas of science and has an experiment after each lesson. It comes with a kit that has every thing you need for the experiments.
