Thanks! I get this now. I've got to try this!

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Do you just do exercises with a metronome going in the background? Or do you time exercises with a metronome?

CLE vs Right Start Math
MorganTrinity replied to MorganTrinity's topic in The Learning Challenges Board
I love you people! OneStep, thanks for the detailed description! I really think CLE would be a good fit for us now. Like you, we need simple pages with lots of white space because our brains short circuit easily. Also, timed anything makes DD cry. OhE, I am on my way to buy a Ronit Bird ebook. I'm typing on my iPad right now! Current plan: Order CLE in two weeks when I can afford it and explore RB until then. -
I have Right Start A & B first edition. I thought that manipulative would work well with my severe dyslexic, dysgraphic almost 7 year old. The problem is I find it overwhelming. I can't put my finger on it, but I think I need materials much like my daughter - SIMPLE! I have been look at CLE Math first grade. It looks great but I am hesitant to make another mistake! DD also is working with Barton Level 3 and she has made amazing progress. I want something like that for math! Also, she only tolerates short sessions about 20 - 30 minutes. I want to hear opinions and personal experience. I had buying stuff I'm really great hopes for and then it turns out not to be a good fit.

I know this probably is not the way to think about it, but I've already sunk money into it for this year so we have one more year of it. I know ***bad mommy*** thinking! You are all right, she learns with stories. We do a million audio books! With CC, I like the Essentials and Challenge programs so much. I like the look of them because she is an incredible story teller so I think she could be an incredible writer. I'm just going to have to get her there another way. BTW, it is so nice to talk to people who really get my kid!!

Thanks for the replies!!!! She is only six, but the other kids in CC her age seem to pick it up easily. I find a song for EVERYTHING or I know there is no hope of her remembering. We just recently got an official diagnosis. She is seeing a therapist that I we will not be able to afford for long. The therapist is using the Lindamood Bell method with her and then I intend to start Barton and take over. Even though she is still little, I suspected dyslexia for a while. Ambidextrous, visually spatially all over the place, the dyslexia is so obvious, especially in hind sight. If we ever get anything to stick, I will definitely be using the memorization box idea!

My child does not seem to remember any our Classical Conversations memory work!! Last year was our first year in Classical Conversations. We went over the memory work last year by having her repeat each weekly memory topic three times and listening to it in the car. She was having problems remembering especially in geography. I just got the cds for cycle 3. She doesn't remember the presidents song that we worked on pretty hard last year. She has been diagnosis with dyslexia. I think this may play a part. Any suggestions? Thanks! ***Cross-posted in K-8 board, but I think it should go here.

Do the PDF's from Peace Hill press work on the Ipad?
MorganTrinity replied to mmpmelmack's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I use SOTW activity book PDF on my iPad through iBooks. I just printed out the student pages I needed and I read the summary and questions for that week's chapter off my iPad.
