Try the website for Logic of English. She has a ton of free teacher videos and downloads. We used the phonogram cards for years.

We loved Logic of English in both the foundations and essentials levels. It is extremely thorough in decoding words with minimal exceptions (ie. that's just an irregular word). Most words had a rule.

I would think Story of the World would be great if you mean key work outlining.

I love Integrated Chinese. It is an AP/college text set. That paired with a native speaker and you would be set. That said, my dd was 12 months and spoke/understood a dialect that the guide, who spoke Mandarin and Cantonese, didn't understand. She is almost 9 now and has been taking Mandarin with a private tutor for 2 or 3 years plus kiddie classes when she was younger. She uses a book series completely in Chinese from a nearby heritage school. We tried Better Chinese but it really helps to have a native speaker. I got some cards for when we traveled to China. They were adoption specific and really came in handy. Hope that helps!

Hmmm...The Hake/Saxon looks interesting. We already use the Saxon math so I'll try to get a look at it (and the others) at the homeschool fair in April. I REALLY with SWB was going to put out ALL tho:( Thanks for the input!!!

I agree too. Can you take it back to have it redone?

We will be finishing FLL4 this year and had hoped to use Advanced Language Lessons but now that doesn't seem to be panning out. I really would like to continue with a program that uses diagramming with minimal writing (using IEW). DD will be in 4th grade next year. Any suggestions?

I feel your pain. As I write this she is doing yesterdays math problems. It takes forever! I wish there was something more "fun" to do but the problems are part of Saxon. I love the structure but it can get a bit tedious. She isn't ready to do more challenging work since the basics aren't finished yet.

Thanks! This is great.:001_smile:
