Is this a good program for math drill? I am considering this for my son for next year to help cement math concepts. Thanks! Rebecca

teach this? How do you know if your child is ready? Thanks, Rebecca

After all the planning posts on a prior board(before these new forums) I started planning six weeks at a time. We had our most intentional school week ever and I will continue to plan! It did seem like busy work to me but it helps me be mentally "there" and "prepared." I found I will do what I write down. Also, it helped me include some things in our school that are very important to me but that I always seemed to push aside- like reading to the two year old and playing that certain christian children's cd. Also, I really enjoy it. I love looking through the books and choosing (for my younger ones) what we are reading and making notes on connections. I appreciate the step by step post above. I am saving that one for me! Rebecca -don't have signature yet. Homeschooling 2nd, first, k, pre-k, and almost 2.

Yes, I am using these this year. I am using level 2 and level 3. I have been very pleased with them. Both my son's are doing well with these books. They are mainly Bible verses- but that is what I prefer. I believe level 3 is all Bible verses... I highly recommend them and plan on using them with my other children as well! I like how they have you have your child go back and "edit" their work. This has really helped my sons' pay more attention to their puctuation. We do not do the Bible lesson portion as we do other Bible in our school. We do read the verse one day, discuss, and allow the child to ask questions, do the copywork, edit/correct the copywork, and then illustrate the verse. Sometimes they need a little help with ideas for their picture. Sometimes their picture is not as "beautiful" as I would prefer... but their handwriting is coming along nicely. I hope this helps.
