Glad it's working for you. :) I'm having success with it as well with my boys. I simply dictate from the book, and they write the words in a notebook.

No luck still. :/ But my other forums do work on Tapatalk, so I can't imagine what the problem is. lol :)

I, for some reason, cannot log-in via Tapatalk. It keeps giving me an error message: "Failed to process XML Date due to unknown error". :/

I've used both. My children and I, both, find SL to be much more engaging and interesting overall. I think either can have as much or as little depth as you'd prefer as various topics/people/events come up.

We are thoroughly enjoying the Apologia elementary science books, by Jeannie Fulbright. Currently we are doing: Zoology 2, Swimming Creatures, up next we will do Astronomy, and then next late spring, Botany.

Abeka math workbooks at the elementary level have always worked very well for us.

:iagree:

:iagree: I just started reading this one, it's great!

I use this site on my smart phone as well and it is such a snap! It's even easier than the IPB board app...go figure. :hurray:

I have mine HERE. :)

:iagree:

Nevermind, I finally found it! HERE and an evaluation HERE, in case anyone else is wondering. lol :laugh:

I am sure it's here somewhere, but upon searching, I am just not seeing it. Can anyone direct me please? :) Thank you!

Me too! :hurray:

Whoo hoo, thank you very, very much! :hurray:

We've used volumes 1 and 2, and I couldn't pick one over the other. ;)

Could someone tell me what the English grammar recommendations were in the older WTM editions for the grammar stage please? :) Thank you!

I wouldn't even think about a writing curriculum at this point, but, rather concentrate on letter formation. Either by copywork, letting her see the model of the formation style you want, trying a different handwriting curriculum, or doing HWT again if that's the one you really want.

Math: Abeka Language Arts: ETC, McGuffey's, Bob Books, Oral Narration, Copywork, Memorization History/Science/Literature: Read Alouds, Nature Study, Experiments, etc.

:hurray: I will definitely be using level 1 of both with my 6 year old in the near future, and I would also pay an arm and a leg if there were levels for my 12 year old. :lol:

I believe it was grades 5th and 2nd. ;)
