MelissaM Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 My ds (will be six in a week) is a no frills kind of guy. He doesn't particularly enjoy coloring, sing, dancing, crafting, etc, in and of itself. He does enjoy a few meaningful crafts. What are some good choices? I know I will use Abeka 1 for math, but beyond that is open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I had to quit using Sing, Spell, Read and Write with my son because he *hated* the songs with the fire of a thousand suns. Have you looked at Learning Language Arts Through Literature? It's pretty basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well, I kind of have one of those myself. He's 6 1/2. Here is what I am doing with him that seems to do the trick. MCP Math MCP Spelling Workout MCP Phonics (we do books A and B and that's all) FLL (not daily, but when we remember) HWT SOTW 3 for history folded in with older brother My World Science (currently doing African Savanna) Physics (Dh does this with both of them) Christian Studies from Memoria Press (folded in with older one on this) Lots of reading time. He loves to read, so he gets to do a lot of it. And he reads a lot of history and science encyclopedias. Maybe these will give you a few to look at to see if the style fits what you are looking for. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQmom Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 He's 7 and doing 2nd grade work this year. Here's what's worked well for him: OPGTR for phonics along with pathway readers He now reads on his own with the Putty and Tabby and Poppleton books SWR for spelling FLL for grammar/writing (I have to cut out pictures for him to glue on when he's asked to illustrate anything. He actually likes the poetry memorization) MUS: He LOVES it! Any Science books or experiments go over well with him. History: He likes it as long as I'm just reading stories to him--no projects unless they involve dressing up like a character and saying a few words about that person. I read a lot to him. This year, I bought him the "Big Yellow Drawing Book", and he works in it just a little bit about twice a week. It has helped him to get over his drawing phobia somewhat. He still hates to color, but now he will draw something simple if I ask him to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
