  1. I do feel it's a good fit for him. I just wanted to see if I am on the right rack. Sometimes it's hard to know with these types of learners.
  2. Could you please tell me if you think this is too much a workload for a 14 year old? He has dyslexia, dysgraphia, processing issues and a lower than average IQ. Math: TT 7-1 lesson a day. Science-Apologia General with MP3. He reads/listens to the lesson and follows the schedule in the Apol. Journal. He needs a lot of hand holding with this. He has been writing the answers out in the journal but I am thinking off having him type them instead because of the dysgraphia. LA: CLE 5-does ok but a lot of careless mistakes CAP Writing-just starting(2 days week) LLTL-just starting. (3 days a week) Baron Reading and Spelling 7-going very, very slow History-Biblioplan-I read it aloud to everyone and we answer questions orally. Do maps/timelines together. Reading-He is supposed to read 1 chapter a day of a book of his choice but this hasn't been getting done. I need to do more audio while he reads. We do have a Learning Ally subscription. He just hates to read or listen to books. sigh.
  3. I was curious if MP's Grammar Recitation could be used as a stand alone grammar course without using Latin?
  4. My dad passed away on the 14th. My husband, two of my sons, and I drove to the funeral in MA. With the hotel, food and gas it cost a bit more than that. I don't regret it one bit.
  5. Those of you who are using this or plan to use this, are you using a separate writing program? I am planning on using CAP's new writing and rhetoric and wondered if I could use that along with LLTL?
  6. This. I bake them in the oven, cut them in half and squeeze out the insides LOL. They plop out of the skin very easily.
  7. Thank you. I have the same concerns for my son as he is wiggly too and without me there, I do think he would just guess too.
  8. Does anyone have experience using Reading Horizons? http://athome.readinghorizons.com/new-store/ I am wondering if this could be a stand along curriculum or would it be used in addition to a regular dyslexia (or reading) program? I'd love to hear from you if you have used this or looked into it and decided not to use it. Thanks!

  10. I'm looking for a resource to teach my high school students how to write a research paper. Thanks!
  11. Now that we only have 6 kids left at home, we drive an expedition and love it!
  12. Got my books today! Can't wait to get started! My 10 year old grabbed the student book out of my hands and she is now reading though it. :thumbup1:
  13. Thank you. I ordered the set today, with just 1 student book. It should arrive Wednesday! Can't wait!
  14. How many pages are in the student book for WR1? I am trying to figure out if it would be less expensive to buy one book and copy it for the other kids or just go ahead and buy each their own book?
  15. Thanks. He does narrate fairly well, but I think I am going to use this with my older two this year and start him in the fall. I doubt he will be reading and writing well enough by then, so I will scribe for him. I really like what I have seen of the program so far!
  16. I was wondering if this could be used with a non-reading and therefore non-writing 8 year old child? Could I read it to him and write for him?
  17. I wondered this too. I have an older child, who has some LD, and really has basic writing skills. We have done IEW, but not consistently. I was thinking of using this with him and my 10 year old.
  18. I was 16 or 17 and my parents moved to another state. I didn't want to leave my friends so I moved in with a friend's family.
  19. Congratulations! I would love to see what a typical day of eating looks like. Thank you!
  20. Thank you, both. I forgot I posted this question. I am looking for something for my LD, history hating 14 year old....I might keep him with the other kids in BP and then use Exploring America in 9th.
