Also remember that you get whatever the highest percentage is. So if enough people drop their commitment down to 40%, it will jump to 50% and we'll ALL get it. That would be supremely helpful.

do you live in my house? subscribing...

Remembering the letters but mixing the order is often a sign that your child is a visual rather than a phonetic speller, and needs to work on visual memory techniques.
You might take a look at the spelling chapter in Jeffrey Freed's book Right-Brained Learners in a Left-Brained World (check your library -- lots of libraries have the book). He has an exploratory activity that will clue you in to whether your child is a visual speller or not, and then explains some very simple exercises and techniques that require only a few minutes a day to put into effect. They utterly transformed my dd's spelling; the improvements were apparent in a couple of weeks and just snowballed from there.
ok, I just looked this book up on my library website and it's for an add child? my suspected right brained learner is not add. :/

Does anyone know what books correspond to the new download links?
mine are individually labeled
-
just got an email with brand new download links. i got most of it downloaded before, are those still good?
-
ok, I have a suspicion that this fits my 4yo. Is there a test for it? how would I determine for sure?
-
So glad to see I'm not alone. The teacher kept insisting they were good books and though I didn't argue, I couldn't imagine by what standard. My kids read twaddle for fun, but ugh...
nope, not alone. i bought the audio cds cheap. after the first day listening, my kids and i had a chat about name calling and such. after the second day, their behavior was on the downslide. no more jbj for us!

i am downloading with no trouble this morning. :)
-
what ages do you play these with? amazon recommends 10+. my oldest is only 7.

They seem to be working really hard to get this fixed. I haven't been able to download any of Erica's files yet, but I'm sure, one way or another, all the files will be downloadable very soon.
I keep reminding myself about that patience being a virtue thing...:tongue_smilie:
i was able to download expedition earth and the classic lit files in about 5 minutes last night. then i started the one with truth in tinsel and it's still not halfway done. :/
-
Yes, this is for all downloads.
Angelmama1209, I committed to buy at 40% where it's at right now because I don't want to lose out on this deal at all. I'll take the 50%, but will gladly pay the 40% price as well. It's the best math program we've ever used!
i actually went in at 30, just crossing my fingers for 50
uggghh! That's what happens when you go online at 3am! :tongue_smilie:I meant the cost of PRINTING...not shipping!
lol!
-
I don't know. I'm hesitant because of the cost of shipping. Also, we've only been using mm for three days and while I'm loving it, I don't know if I'm committed to using it for the next several years.
shipping? :confused: they're all ebooks.
I'm in, just crossing my fingers it gets to 50%.

My kinesthetic kiddo is only 4, so we are just venturing there, but check out 1+1+1=1 's word play ideas.

Which level are you doing? I've found 1 and 2 can easily be done in 5-10 minutes (even squeezing in more than one lesson), but 3 and 4 get much more intense and involve a lot more writing on the child's part. Even then, I'd say one lesson runs us about 15-20 minutes on average.
My main problem is just trying to figure out when to do what with whom and how to re-engage one after they've run off while I'm working with the other one and my youngest interrupts asking for gum 50 times and so on. . . :lol:
ok, thanks. we just started level 2. And OMG! That second part is what I'm going to be dealing with when we hit full swing this year. Yikes!
-
I thought I read the download links are available for 2 weeks. Why don't you just wait a few days until the frenzy dies down.
-
uh-oh! i must be doing fll wrong! it only takes 5-10 minutes and i find it one of the easiest subjects. it was the one thing that was guaranteed to get done every day during my pregnancy. :/

i believe you're supposed to do 3 4-year cycles of sotw. 1st-4th, 5th-8th, 9th-12th
-
I could have written this post except my word is FOCUS!!! Ugh! Glad I'm not alone, though.
-
has anybody matched these up with sotw?

From your signature, it looks like your DC are young. It sounds like this is more a case of gauging when is the appropriate time to read some classics vs. others. The Red Badge of Courage is a high school level work. The Jungle Book can be enjoyed by elementary-aged children.
What a lovely gift your father is giving your family! But think of it more as a "heritage" gift -- one in which many of the books will be saved for some years to be enjoyed later at the proper age due to theme or jargon/vocabulary/sentence structure (Red Badge of Courage, Pride and Prejudice, The Scarlet Letter) while others (Jungle Book, Wind in the Willows, Black Beauty, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Princess and the Goblins, Call of the Wild) can be enjoyed now.
Other than a few lovely retellings (e.g., Sutcliffe's Black Ships Before Troy), we pretty much stuck with unabridged (which means saving many of those classics for middle school/high school) and enjoyed all the many wonderful age-appropriate classics when DSs were younger -- you really don't want to miss out on some of those works that are sheer magic for younger children by striving for works meant for young adults! (See the 1000 Good Books list for ideas.) Enjoy your read aloud journey together! Warmest regards, Lori D.
thank you so much for this link! i am literature illiterate so this is super helpful for me.

if you are unsure about LoF, check your public library. Ours carries most of the LoF books. Of course, I own several of the books already (elementary-Algebra), but it helps for me when I haven't gotten my shipment of the new books yet and my ds wants to go ahead and start the next one :):001_smile:
LUCKY! Just checked my library system- nada. :glare:

As someone else has asked....do we really begin with Apples? DD8 is using Abeka math and she's already been doing simple fractions, long division, and is beginning equations. I'm just afraid that Apples would be way below her level if it talks about adding, subtracting, etc. Although, I guess I could get Apples for my 5 year old.
I believe from reading several threads on this that it is recommended to start with Apples no matter the level to get the story from the beginning. Apparently each book builds on the one before. So even if she knows the math, she can whiz through them and get the story as well as review. :)

got an email that it is now up to 30%!
Singapore users: help me get it!

I can't help you, because I NEVER GOT IT EITHER!!! So glad I'm not alone. :/ I keep reading about how wonderful it is, but I just didn't GET it.
