mamakven Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 ugg. typed this up and lost it, hope it doesn't post twice! anyway, i had planned to purchase Queen homeschool language arts, but was waiting to see if they came out with an ebook version to cut costs. Asher, my 3yo with autism, whom we'd planned to not be home, he was in school but it went HORRIBLY, so he's now home with us, requires a LOT of care and i need to minimize my hands on school time for me, so i also really need something simple not elaborate. Anyway, i noticed that Queen came out with their language arts on ebook and i was SO excited! i posted to their facebook wall about it and Mrs. Queen mentioned that her copywrite was for ONE student per ebook :-/ so obviously we won't be buying them, i could hardly imagine the fortune it would cost to print them with all the art prints and stuff, and honestly, i'm most likely going to be not buying their products at all- just on principal. There's plenty of homeschool companies that have generous policies toward famillies (particularly ebooks!!) so i'm wondering what else is available that is similar. any ideas?

Rjmakmom Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It's not an ebook, but we just switched to Growing With Grammar. No frills, each day is clearly marked, and it is easy for the kids to do independently, including my 3rd grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenninMN Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Simply Language Arts by Shoelace Books. Primary Language Lessons by Emma Serle, free on Google books. Workbook versions are available, but I'm not sure about ebooks and copying privileges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamakven Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 i wonder if the simply language arts still exists?? i went to this site http://shoelacebooks.ecrater.com and when i click on an ebook i get "no such book exists" weird!

mommyagain Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Ugh! I always thought Queen's products were overpriced anyway. That really doesn't seem fair. I second PLL/ILL. Or how about LLATL? If you really need something self-directed you might consider ACE PACES. I've read some good reviews of their English and Word Building (spelling) PACES.

mamakven Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 with products like "paces" i'm concerned about retention... i wonder if that would not be so much of an issue with LA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
