Now that I have a few more moments, here are some details about us. I have been doing a bunch of reading I love the classical concept, but don't think it fits my teaching personality at all. I need to get a copy of TWTM to read still (it's on the list)
DD1 (will be 5 in June)has been receiving preschool services under the Autism heading for about a year now. She is socially shy and behind in areas of pretend play, interaction and using language age appropriatly (will scream if she's upset vs saying "stop it" "you took my toy", etc. and also has some idiosyncratic language going on). She is on track or ahead with things like knowing letters, sounds, memorizing a new book after 2 times reading it, counting.
Given her personality a workbox style will probably work best for her since it would be a visual indicator of what we have to do in a day (more work for me, but that's not a new thing). I think Unit stiudies would be fun for her and she'd respond as she has several interests we could explore (outer space, racecars, dinosaurs, birds, flags (geography), maps). I would like to be able to stretch her reading options a bit. We have tried to start the Little House books, but she's only 1/2 into that.
