[Increasing writing output from 9yo]

Just wanted to let you know that I have a 9yo ds that is exactly like yours. Writing has been known to end in tears around here. My ds struggles with spelling which is a lot of his problem as well. We are using EIW this year which seems to be working so far because it doesn't demand too much writing for him....you might want to check it out. We struggle more with getting GWG completed because he doesn't like the writing involved in it.

[Keyboarding Without Tears]

I haven't used this either, but bumping it for you as I am interested in it too.

[AAS or Sequential spelling]

We switched to the dvd option of SS. We used AAS in the past, but it was getting tedious. Kids like SS better, and so do I. It is completely different teaching format though than AAS, so you should start back at level 1. I would think it would be a lot to do both.

[Best History Options??]

We are trying Veritas Press self paced history this year. DS is excited to start it. Looks like fun!

[Drawing curriculum appropriate for 10 year old?]

We just bought a subscritption for Mark Kistler thru the coop. My 3 kids love it! They are begging to do it multiple times a day.
