Is there a website that I can go to that I can print off FULL lessons for free. I have a friend that is starting to homeschool her son and I told her I would try to help her find some stuff to print off that would get him through the rest of this year so she would not have to buy any books until next school year. He is in the 5th grade and only has about 3 or 4 months of school left. I have found lots of sites with printouts but they are just about all worksheets, not FULL lessons...... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.....

by the way thanks for the blog link.

Thank you everyone for your help. I showed my daughter the video demos and she wants to go ahead with the bju DLO and so do I.

Can anyone tell me anything about BJU's distance learning online courses or their dvd program? Do you like it? Do they give a lot of homework? ETC....... My daughter is going into the 8th grade and for her 8th grade year I want to put her in a dvd program of some sort but I am having trouble deciding between ABEKA and BJU.

wow this is a great list. Thanks.

Thank you

I have been looking into bob jones to. I have enjoyed watching their video demos

I checked into the Bob jones curriculum and I am going to try to go ahead and do the individual online english course for my daughter. It is very much different then the abeka academy. Thanks to each and every one of you for your help and advice. I appreciate it very much/.

Thank you for your help. I am going to look into this more before I do make a decision. I did not like the ABeka Grammar book this year. I didnt know how to teach it because there were only a brief discussion about it in the book before each lesson. I did Bob jones english with her last year and liked it better, it is more explanitory to me. I may just go ahead and use the bob jones english with her. I willl also check out their dvd program. I may call them and see what they have. She did not go through her whole english book last year because it was so big and we started homeschooling after she had already gone through 9 weeks in public school but she seemed to like the bob jones english better than this Abeka.

Thank you for your help. English would be the only thing that I will be enrolling her in.

Thank you for your help.... I really appreciate it. Is the Abeka dvd academy worth it.

Anyone know of any other programs besides abeka that offers a dvd program for individual courses?

I am homeschooling my DD who is 12 (soon to be 13) and will be going into the 8th grade this upcoming school year in August. I am just going to be honest I am NOT good at teaching English. As a matter of Fact I dont even know where to begin. I am not good at math either but that is taken care of. I would like to put her in the 8th grade English video streaming in the Abeka Dvd academy but I would like to find out more about how it works first before I do it just to make sure it would be right for my daughter. I know that they combine the Grammer and composition, literature and Vocab,spelling and poetry but how do they teach all 3 at once in the dvd's? I guess what I really want to know is does the teacher on the dvd give assignments for them to do in all three books everyday or are they alternated? THanks in advance for your help.

I think there is alot of busy work in the books. I am going to try a different strategy with her and see if we cant make things more fun for her.
