We are using Hooked On Phonics, also. This is a good program.

Here is a free reading program you can use. Hope this helps. Progressive Phonics http://www.progressivephonics.com/~suzettew/

Thanks for responding. I am really leaning towards this curriculum. Although MUS looks promising, I like the way Algebra I: A Fresh Approach reviews basic concepts. If my ds needs more practice, I'll just use KUTA worksheets. http://www.kutasoftware.com/freemain.html

Thanks for responding. :001_smile: It appears to be a good curriculum. My son needs a black and white workbook that provides explanations without going overboard. It would be wonderful to get some feedback from someone who has actually used the curriculum. :bigear:

Welcome to the board, Tahara. :party: Here is a free reading curriculum, just in case. It is for children 4 to 10 years old. http://www.progressivephonics.com/

Has anyone used Christy Walters Algebra I: A Fresh Approach? Pros and Cons? Website http://www.aplusses.com/zencart/

Thank you, Cheryl in SoCal. I took a look at their demo and their Scope and Sequence. I must say that I like what I see so far. Your right, the instructor's voice isn't monotone at all. I'll place MUS on my list of possible curriculums.:001_smile:

:lol::lol::lol: This is too funny. When my ds claims he already knows how to do an assignment, I make him prove it. Sometimes they just don't want to listen to instructions.

@ mama25angels Thanks for the link. :001_smile: ____________________________ @ AngieW in Texas Does your dd use the manipulations? My ds needs a curriculum that has short explainations in the workbook. He can't stand watching videos with long explanations. Especially if the instructor has a monotone voice.

We had tried the Homeschool Version. I don't think my ds likes doing math on the computer. However, Nancy from Customer Service was very courteous when I called to cancel. Does your 12 year old like MUS?

I am sure Kinetic Books works for some families, but my ds and I just a had a meltdown over using this curriculum. Since my ds likes the computer, I was hoping that this curriculum would be a blessing to our family. I just assumed doing math with a computer curriculum would work for him. However, I hear more groaning from him over using this program than I had with using workbooks. I am so glad that they have a 30 day money back guarantee. Until we find something else, we will be sticking with "Key To" workbooks.
