thepoteetteam Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have used this for my first 2 sons, but my 3rd son is so ant's in his pants. I feel like I need to spice it up a bit. What helped or enhanced this textbook to make it more interesting for your child? I see there are audio cd's and journals that you can buy for this, but I wanted to hear from others if they've used them before I spend any more money. I can't switch to a different curriculum because of money. Thanks for any advice!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have the audio CDs, and use them for my dyslexic ds. There are a couple more kids I know use them who are poor readers. Does your ds sit still when listening to audio? If so, that might help him stay concentrated. :) There are several kinds of "CDs." --One is the audio CD. --One is the multi-media CD that has short video clips to be viewed now and then throughout the book. I have a couple of those. They're okay. --Another is the Full Course CD-Rom (has the whole book to be read on the computer screen, PLUS the video clips from the multi-media CD.) For more explanation and for other components that are available for Apologia, you can look here where I described each of them. http://martysahm.blogspot.com/2010/09/apologia-science-books-cds-etc-what-are.html (Also on that blog are posts that tell what experiments we've done for Apologia.) We don't really use the multi-media CD's much because several years ago, I had started looking online for videos to fill in and enhance for my own kids and 2 cousins. So I posted them on a blog so they could all view them at home... Then more kids came to my "class" and my blog posts just grew. Here is the link if you're interested. http://homeschoolersresources.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This was linked last year, I think, but it's pretty decent from what I've seen of it: http://wikis.engrade.com/nctgs There are weekly schedules, video links, tutorials...everything to go with each module. The same lady did a physical science one, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
