genny Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 phonics pathways .... she went from non-reader (she knew all the letter sounds before beginning it) to a second grade reader in 6 months. At first I didn't love it but I think it's great now. I'm using it with 2 kiddos now and it's great for both:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay3fer Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Not quite tears, because that would be ironic indeed, but Handwriting Without Tears. I cannot believe my dd6's handwriting... I have been plagued by lousy writing my whole life and eventually in high school switched to all-uppercase because nobody could understand what I was writing; I couldn't write fast enough OR accurately enough for anybody's liking, including my own. I don't know what it was, because we sure practiced and practiced in my elementary school, but I have seen nothing like HWOT. We've been using it since before she was 5, but in the last year, her writing has gone from backwards and illegible to the occasional problem with b's and d's, p's and q's. I'm sure these will resolve very soon. Meanwhile, everybody in our family can't get over how beautifully she writes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda_Jo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Wilson reading for my dyslexic 1st grader. She finally gets reading and even gets excited when I pull out the materials for our reading lesson each day instead of crying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam101 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Math Mammoth, I don't think we every cried, but we have been on both ends of the spectrum with this. Some areas have taken so...long...to...get...through and my son struggled so much, borrowing in subtraction (he still messes this up if he isn't paying attention) and multiplication. But all the work is paying off now. He started long division last week and it is going smooth as silk. I was expecting to be in for another long haul, but, while he still needs some practice, it isn't going to take months to get through. :) Edited September 15, 2011 by Tam101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happycc Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 AAS for us and RightStart -my kids are finally getting this. Wish I had these with my first set of kids I was homeschooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm37 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Math U See! I went crazy switching math programs with my first two. My third child was in second grade and not even able to do addition facts. Ugh. Put both her and her younger sister into MUS Alpha and it has been a breeze. Number 4 had a few bumps along the way where she had to work a little harder than our usual 20 minutes/day. Now they are both in Lesson 4 of Algebra 1, more like 30-45 minutes per day. We still love Mr. Demme and I am glad he is the teacher and NOT ME. All the trouble I had with my older two makes me appreciate it so much.
