we used art read for my daughter (now 19) and son (16). they both liked them and did well in math. (daughter was a national merit finalist, although she is stronger in english than in math) she would watch the videos and do the math pretty independently. my son is finally whizzing though math as well with the videos. (i sit with him to keep him focused and he calls out the answer to each question as he does it and if he gets it wrong, he corrects it right then.) We have gone from taking 1-2 hours per lesson to 30-45 minutes with 0-2 mistakes per lesson. they seem to like the dvds and he is pretty clear in his explanations.

Sorry, just now seeing this. When I purchased it, there was only the option for groups, as I recall. It's been about 7 years. So it may even be totally different now. I did it with a group of teens in a coop and they loved it. It did get pretty chaotic and we probably had too many students (around 20).

I used it probably 7 years ago with an informal coop group of teens and pre-teens. It was fun to do as a group, so I would suggest maybe finding a few friends who could do it with you, either in person or via zoom. You are allowed to copy the pertinent pages. They all enjoyed the process and problem solving, even if it did devolve into the ridiculous at times.

My 9th grade son is taking both Wasko Lit 1 and WAH High School 1 this year. It's been a good experience for him. My main concern was that he read the books, especially for a first year HS course. Each week they take a quiz on the reading and answer an essay question before class. The class discussion is live, although you can watch it later for up to two weeks after the class. There are two papers due for the course. The writing course is not live, but the feedback he has gotten from his instructor has been very helpful. They have a paper, or a re-write of a paper due each week along with a quiz on the reading materials. They do three versions of each paper. My daughter took a writing class last year for a semester and is doing a full year class this year for her senior year. She has enjoyed the classes and appreciated the feedback. They had a sale last year around the first of March where if you enrolled in lit and writing there was a bigger discount. I would definitely recommend the courses.
