Our local schools require some health and PE. I didn't put any on the transcript, the state school didn't care, they only cared about their requirements for college. We did do enough things in each area that I could have put something on the transcript if I had needed to. She had plenty of art credits.

Maybe the Erika Meltzer book? https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-ACT-English-Fourth/dp/1733589546/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=act+meltzer&qid=1612654802&sr=8-3 SAT has similar questions and more online practice tests to go through. https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/practice/full-length-practice-tests

I would get the LOE game book, a ton of game ideas. Some basic ideas I've done with my students: Write out letters on 1/2 sheet of paper, jump from paper to paper while sounding out. Type words in large font, shoot each letter with nerf gun while sounding out. Run toy car over word on paper, sound out each letter while driving across. Use Don Potter's word cards, relay race to get cards and sound out, see how many can do in 3 or 5 minutes, whatever time works best. http://www.donpotter.net/pdf/blend_phonics_decoding_card.pdf Reference document for words: http://www.donpotter.net/pdf/blend_phonics-card_numbers.pdf I have a video about making phonics more fun, I think I already typed most of the ideas but it's been a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b2HyvcWaZA&t=12s Spelfebet has a ton of games you can buy, she has some good bingo ones that are buried earlier after all the card deck games, but those are good too. https://www.spelfabet.com.au/product-category/games/

@Renaiis homeschooling in Spanish and English. She made the syllabary for me. I still need to work on getting it on a page about teaching Spanish syllables on my website, Covid has made a ton of things take longer.

I would start with a Spanish syllabary. http://thephonicspage.org/On Reading/Resources/SilabasYSonidos-3.pdf Then, La Pata Pita, a lovely book based on Spanish Syllables. https://www.amazon.com/pata-pita-Spanish-Hilda-Perera/dp/1941802605/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=la+pata+pita&qid=1612209848&sr=8-1 After Spanish phonics via syllables are well learned, English syllables then English phonics. syllabic phonics: https://infogalactic.com/info/Syllabic_phonics My syllables lessons teach English with syllables, would have to be slightly modified for a young student. http://thephonicspage.org/On Reading/syllablesspellsu.html

It takes time to build up higher listening speeds. It is easier for kids, though, I think. We watched some IEW online videos, he is excruciatingly slow at normal speed. I had to watch at 1.5X a while before I could build up to 2x speed. My son could watch at 2X speed immediately. Since the work we did was lesson based, not time based, he was very motivated to watch faster!! IEW also has a note taking video, unfortunately it is at 1X speed only on our DVD, that uses the tree and branch method, a lot less words to write than normal note taking. After watching him at 2X speed, he felt even slower at normal speed. https://www.iew.com/shop/products/advanced-communication-series Here is a blog showing the tree and branch note taking, the IEW video show you how to choose and use fewer words. I would think this would be easier to do while listening to audio than normal note taking. https://lindaburklin.wordpress.com/tag/tree-and-branch-notes/

"Cliff Weitzman of Speechify overcame dyslexia and language barriers to create an app for kids with similar challenges. Now, he gobbles up books at a frightening pace, and says anyone else can do it too." https://www.inc.com/john-boitnott/how-one-founder-turned-his-dyslexia-into-an-app-th.html

There are several people who print it to have more space, I'm not sure exactly, you can ask or Google. You can also cut down the number of problems: If you get at least 9/10 right, that's all we'll do, otherwise we'll do them all--pick a few of each type, including more of the hardest.

The McGuffey readers are a good way to build up vocabulary and practice reading different genres. They gradually increase in difficulty, have interesting vocabulary because they are old. Read a few passages a day. Word root study is also good for quickly building up vocabulary--I've actually found with my remedial students that playing word root bingo is faster than any program, they are paying attention (even jr. High and high school students) more and interested, I read words and definitions while they are looking up the word on their card. I have a document you can read already made as part of my root bingo. Links 2 to 4 in the teacher section of my syllables page. http://thephonicspage.org/On Reading/syllablesspellsu.html Here is a link to the PDF of the McGuffey 4th reader, 4th is a good place to start. You want the 1879 Blue and Orange cover versions, you can use the PDFs if you like but the reprints are not that pricey usually. Even the easier passages have interesting vocabulary. You read through, try to guess the words from context, then read the definitions after, for max vocab learning. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/14880/14880-pdf.pdf You can also get a kindle version. https://www.amazon.com/McGuffeys-Fourth-Eclectic-Illustrated-Readers-ebook/dp/B00HXXP1XI/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=mcguffey+4th+eclectic+reader&qid=1611785477&sr=8-3

That makes sense. Both the SAT black book and the PrepScholar software walk you through specific types of questions based on this and why the one answer is right, coming at the same thing from another direction. The other prep books are more vague and unfocused, not focusing on patterns and why.

The black book section on commas raised my daughter's score on the English portion of the ACT 5 to 6 points. My son does better on the SAT, the black book for it has similar good, targeted instruction. https://www.amazon.com/SAT-Prep-Black-Book-Strategies/dp/0692916164/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1VSM1ZZI6Y4Q8&dchild=1&keywords=sat+black+book&qid=1611776217&sprefix=sat+black+%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQVJZTUxIS1FHNTFWJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODQzNDM4QzJMWENPTUVRMkowJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA3OTA1NzcyWDlZNTMxVUw0Q1FMJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== It's also best to buy a book for the practice tests, cheaper and easier than printing them out once you do more than 2. I break the binding and tear them out. My son did PrepScholar last year, it raised his score 150 points, it costs $399. If my daughter would have done it, she likely could have had additional scholarship $, she started prepping late. She did get some merit $ from her scores, and her English score got her out of both mandatory freshman courses, which is saving both time and $. https://www.prepscholar.com/sat/l/camp_prep_sat?msclkid=eef3aa607d031ef062efca6e7919acaf&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=V1 Prepare SAT&utm_term=sat prep&utm_content=Exact 1 With a combination of the Black Book and PrepScholar, you should be able to do it. @lewelma has good advice somewhere about how she approached the SAT with a bonus student and with her son to maximize scores. She had interesting advice for the reading section, or maybe it was @Lori D. a plan to approach each reading section, it started with answering all the fact based questions for a passage, there was a specific order so that by the time you got to the ones that needed an overall understanding of the passage, you could have an idea about that without reading the whole thing.

Zaner Blozer self instruction book. "Self Instruction in Handwriting: For Students or Adults to Improve Handwriting" https://www.amazon.com/Self-Instruction-Handwriting-Students-Improve/dp/0880853794/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_1?dchild=1&keywords=zaner+loser+self+instruction&qid=1611438602&sr=8-1-fkmr3

I have a large font version of the syllables lessons I can send if you email me. At the bottom of this page as a graphic so I don't get a ton of spam from it: http://www.40l.org/about.html

I tell people half jokingly that I should have practiced on other kids with math like I did with phonics (I've been tutoring with phonics since 1994.) My daughter needed a lot of different things to do well with math, my son, who is engineering minded, would have done well with any math. I would switch to a traditional math that is not behind for now with him, something like Horizons. Or, you could try Math Mammoth, she has more explanation about how to use it, it is similar to Singapore.

Yes, www.covd.org, not just a regular eye doctor, like @Terabith and @PeterPan said.

I personally loved Singapore but I'm good at math. Right start is also good and is more scripted, it is good for seeing how math works for the younger ages, I like other things for older ages. The abacus explains borrowing and carrying well in a very visual manner. You should use the most rigorous math you can teach well. Horizons is a good traditional math program. https://www.christianbook.com/horizons-math-grade-3-student-workbook/9781580959636/pd/12056?event=Homeschool|1001343 You can have them write the first few problems and then scribe the rest for them at a young age, gradually increasing the amount they write themselves as they get older. To educate yourself on how to teach math, I like Liping Ma's Knowing and Teaching math, the old version is fine and cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/Knowing-Teaching-Elementary-Mathematics-Understanding/dp/0805829091/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1EPD7LJQX8G4F&dchild=1&keywords=knowing+and+teaching+elementary+mathematics&qid=1611387413&sprefix=knowing+and+teaching%2Caps%2C189&sr=8-3 Singapore also had some teach the teacher books, I'm not finding them on their website right now, they had some about how to use the bar model method and how to teach word problems that are good to know regardless of what program you use, I'll have to find the titles and see if they're still available somewhere. For Singapore math, they show various ways to do it, you just have to try one of each and then can do whichever way is easiest. For my daughter, she wouldn't have figured out a few of the different methods on her own. My son figured out some of them intuitively. There is one edition that has better instruction guides, I forget which, I think it was Standards and the US was not as helpful, but I could be forgetting, it's been years since I used it. You're not meant to spend a lot of time doing these type of things, just a quick see if you understand it, then do the math the way that is easiest. But if you don't understand the method, better to teach a good math that you understand how to teach.

I once had a young homeschool boy look at me in shock and admiration and say, "Hey, you're the voice my mom made me watch phonics videos of." 😂😂😂

I would try these books to teach parts of speech. For the verb one, have them act out various verbs during the reading, that helps make them stick. https://www.amazon.com/You-Were-Verb-Word-Fun-ebook/dp/B00ESEEE7O/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=if+I+were+a+verb&qid=1611382003&sr=8-1 A library we once lived near had them, they loved the series, thought they were funny, much easier to remember with the books than your standard boring grammar program. Jr. Mad libs are good, too. They come with a word list to read through and pick from. https://www.amazon.com/Super-Silly-Mad-Libs-Junior/dp/0843107588/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&hvadid=78340323433297&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=mad+libs+junior&qid=1611382186&sr=8-1&tag=mh0b-20 My 10th grade son can still not remember what an adjective is, but he is has a score of 100% in his dual credit engineering course. He only remembers after I ask him what an adverb is then realizes there is only one thing left to modify. I did a ton of grammar with him, science and math stick in his brain, language arts things need more repetition (until he's 25??) My daughter is the opposite, Language Arts and foreign languages are easy, science, engineering, math, not so much. She is good at psychology and biology, though.

You can try 1/4 cup then 1/2 cup the 3/4 cup of coffee and see if that helps, some of my friends with active children who they or their husband don't want to medicate have tried this and find that helps, the level that helps is different for different children. Also, you can use my nonsense word game instead of the word lists. It takes longer to do the same amount of words but is more fun: http://thephonicspage.org/On Phonics/concentrationgam.html You could write a few of the words from each lesson on index cards and have her run across the room to get them and sound them out, or a group of them and see how many she can run and get and read in 2 minutes. This sometimes helps and sometimes gets students too worked up. Also, you can pause just reading and have her try to spell one out on the white board if focusing on word lists is too much. Or, jump up and celebrate after every 10 correct words, again, can help or can be worse, try a few different things and see.

You're welcome! Yes, read all her stories and sentences in other work for her for a month. Get audiobooks or read books to her. No sentences or stories of any kind, the context and sight words in them triggers the guessing habit. I would do just a few minutes a day of nonsense words and 30 minutes a day of phonics program and word lists. It's better to do 15 minutes twice a day, and spread out the nonsense words as well. So, you could do 25 nonsense words sometime, then later do 25 nonsense words then a 15 min lesson of syllables, then later 25 nonsense words and a list of words from Webster or We All Can Read or another program with word lists. The only sentences that are fine during this period are the nonsense word sentences from We All Can Read, and if she guesses from them, stop them, too, although I haven't had a student yet who did. With the 25 nonsense words (or 10 or 15 for a really slow reader, do about a minute of them), stop for any that are missed and immediately re-do the missed word, you want to build up the habit of being careful and accurate while sounding out the words. With Webster's Speller, I like to have 2 or 3 tabs going--1 at an easy level, 1 at a medium level, 1 at a challenging level. I put pencil check marks on a completed row. For example, you could have a tab starting on 2 syllable words in table 26, one in the 3 syllables words in table 68, one in table 90, 4 syllable words. Start with tab 2, read a few lines, go back to easy words in tab 1, read a few lines, go to tab 3, read a few lines, continue for the time period like this but end with easy or medium tab words. The pencil checks (or slashes in the middle of a line if you need to stop in the middle) make it easy to start up again and figure out what's been done. Working on word lists is much more efficient than reading stories--the same words are repeated over and over in sentences and stories. The most common 220 words are 50% of any running text, the most common 1,000 words are 90% of any running text. It's worse than logarithmic, too, the new words keep getting less and less frequent as the percentages go up. The math for this is complex, similar math is used for encryption. (It's called zipf's law.) So, if you're working with word lists, not only are you helping break the guessing habit, but you're learning about 20X to 100X more efficiently than when you are reading from a book. Zipf's law, with graphs and equations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf's_law

The perfect level of celebrity, LOL, mildly famous in the homeschool world. As an introvert, that is the highest level of celebrity I want or need!!

Small world indeed!! My remedial students all make changes like that. I have lists and lists of similar errors on the MWIA tests and in person. Word lists and nonsense words only until they stop guessing and the phonics becomes automated--when they can sound out nonsense words or any word in isolation quickly and easily. I have extra nonsense words on my syllables page for after completion of the syllables program, here is a direct link to them. Do a group of them at the beginning and end of whatever you are working on, an extra one some other time in the day as well if possible, they should only take a minute, do a group of 25 at a time or however many lines can be read accurately in a minute or less--work for accuracy, speed will come with time and accurate practice, slow down if need be. When you finish, you can start again with page 1, they will have been forgotten by then. http://www.thephonicspage.org/On Reading/Resources/ExtraNonsenseWords.pdf I would work through my syllables program a few more times, and all the word, word lists only, no sentences, in the complete Webster's Speller. On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Websters-Spelling-Method-Teaching-Reading/dp/1496153278/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Noah+Webster+spelling+book+method+potter&qid=1611377554&sr=8-1 PDF: http://www.donpotter.net/pdf/websterspellingbookmethod.pdf The book We All Can Read also has a lot of nonsense words and is a complete phonics program that goes to a high level, designed for adults and older children. https://www.amazon.com/We-All-Can-Read-Teaching/dp/1893609308/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=we+all+can+read&qid=1611377626&sr=8-1

I would do sentence composing. This one combines grammar and sentence composing, so you're doing at lot more in the same amount of time as the normal sentence composing books. https://www.amazon.com/Grammar-Middle-School-Sentence-Composing-Approach/dp/0325009562/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3M6R36B37W0IY&dchild=1&keywords=grammar+for+middle+school+a+sentence-composing+approach&qid=1611346457&sprefix=grammar+composing+sentence%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-3

My syllables lessons have a list of all the rules. http://www.thephonicspage.org/On Reading/Resources/spelling rules1.pdf She could watch through them, they do a lot of spelling work. If she's reading well, she could just watch and not do any of the exercises. http://thephonicspage.org/On Reading/syllablesspellsu.html It would be a good overview before you start AAS. Phonics Pathways does include a few spelling rules and a bit about how to use it to teach spelling, but it's not good as a complete spelling program. You could have her help your DS8 with the spelling in Phonics Pathways, combining them and having her do some of the work, a good way to get in repetition.
