Homeschool Spanish Academy
kRenee replied to Juliegmom's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
My son did Homeschool Spanish Academy for 2 years. He did two classes a week. He started in level 2 and two years later he was in level 4. He then took Spanish IV at Community College and had absolutely no problem with the class. Doing HSA twice a week did not appear to be an overwhelming amount of work & homework, but it would appear that doing a level per year is right on track with what colleges expect. -
Online Spanish Courses, looking for help!
kRenee replied to monk17's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We used Homeschool Spanish Academy with great success. Live teachers via Skype from Guatamala. They give a placement test and take it from there. They go up through Spanish 4 and it seems to be accurate. My son finished the fall semester with them and got through lesson 6 on level 4, then took Spanish 4 at the local CC and did very well. -
SOS Spanish for High School
kRenee replied to downthelane's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
No experience with SOS, but as an alternative or a follow up, have you looked at Homeschool Spanish Academy? My son had great success going that route. Live teacher via skype, based in Guatamala, not very expensive. I highly recommend them. HomeschoolSpanishAcademy.com -
I agree that repetition is key. It almost doesn't matter what spelling list/program you use. With my poor speller (when she was younger), I kept a list in my back pocket of words that she missed and I pulled it out a few times a day and did a verbal spelling test. That may not work with an older child, but maybe you could come up with something similar that would work. Also, tell him to pay attention to words when he reads. Not everyone knows this. When I read, a part of my brain is always looking for words that I am not familiar with- either definition or spelling. You can probably

Any suggestions for easy to use curriculum? I'm not good at pulling resources together so I would rather have a single source, open & go package.

I have Chalkdust Algebra 2 (Intermediate Algebra) for sale. $60ppd This set includes: Intermediate Algebra - Larson 5th edition 978-0-547-10217-7 (currently used by Chalkdust) Student Solutions Manual-Intermediate Algebra 5th edition Instructional DVD's published by Hougton Mifflin with Dana Mosely teaching the lessons. (ie the "cheap Chalkdust" if you followed that thread) My son used this package and the lesson for Chapter 11, section 1 would not play. All other lessons played just fine and matched up with the lessons in the book. The textbook is hardbound and in great condition, no writing or highlighting. The Solutions manual is softbound and shows moderate wear, but all pages intact. The DVD's actually have lessons for Elementary Algebra as well if you were interested in using them for both Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. Contact Karen$60.00
