Janie Grace Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think my ds8 has an auditory processing problem. He's being tested in a couple of months, but I need to buy curriculum NOW. He understands well when he reads or sees something, and he retains from video pretty well. But comprehending and remembering spoken information is very hard for him. Is there a science curriculum out there that has books written at the student's level, and maybe even DVDs to go with it? Or experiment kits? I know the CLP Nature Guides are written to be read by children (as opposed to aloud by the parent). What else? In the past, I have done Apologia science and Living Learning science (with his older sibs). But I think this kid needs something different... Also, if you have a child like this and have suggestions for other subjects, pass them on! I feel like I am starting over in terms of figuring out what works for him. Thanks.

didadeewiththree Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Christian Kids Explore or maybe Great Science Adventures....I really like the layout of the first one. You can supplement with books from the library if you want to also. The first one is written for younger kids up to 6th grade and the latter is K-8th grade.

Farrar Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It's science, not reading, writing or math. Why can't you just watch Bill Nye videos, read some fun science books, and wait until you've got more of a handle on things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local library has ALL the Bill Nye DVDs, thanks to a gift by a generous patron. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Let's Read and Find Out books are available on tons of topics and are written at kids' level. He might enjoy this. And there's always good old nature study! I've got a fun book called Science in your own backyard that has suggestions for exploring thing around the yard. If you did something like this, and possibly coordinate with some books he could read himself, it might be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
