Perry Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I haven't heard good things about Power-Glide, the curriculum K12 uses for HS foreign language. Any K12 users doing something different? We are planning to have my 8th grader start K12 in the fall. She wants to take French, but I don't want to teach it myself. What are my options?

Ruth in Canada Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 French is always a challenge for homeschoolers in Ontario. Power Glide is not a popular choice. Don't know if it improves if there's someone else adding instruction in addition to what Power Glide provides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeseepc Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I have two sets of Powerglide I purchased years ago (Spanish & Latin) that I tried with my kids years ago. We hated them. HOWEVER, I decided to try the new format of PG that was offered through K12 (we have used K12 for years with certain subjects, and I absolutely love it and wouldn't switch to anything else.) I have to confess: we really like the new Powerglide. I like the fact that it's more interactive (like K12), and that it's now "age appropriate". I can get a course for my 6 year old, and the course is designed FOR a 6 year old. I am not sure, but I think there are samples of their new program on their website. We are actually doing German this year. Auf Wiedersehen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
