vlgimmelli Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I am tossed between using Abeka or Rod and Staff for this years curriculum for my 8th grade son. My son has some focus and learning disabilities(comprehension) and I do not want him to feel overwhelmed or just not be able to get it. I wanted to know from other moms, was the complete curriculum for 8th grade good or would Abeka be better?? We have used many other misc curriculums like Apologia, teaching textbooks, SOS Monarch, various workbooks and I am finding that my son does better with workbooks rather online lessons. I would like to make a decision by Wednesday especially since Abeka is coming to my area and I wanted to visit if I decide to use Abeka. Any thoughts/???

................... Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well at that age Rod and Staff is mostly textbooks not workbooks. Abeka would be a work-text for Math and Grammar but Abeka us very advanced, teaching very advanced grammar concepts. It sounds like you might need to look into using ACE or Paradigm Accelerated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlgimmelli Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I do not mind the textbooks and workbook from Rod and Staff. I guess my biggest concern is I do not want it to be too weak, yet not too advance and difficult where my son would be discouraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
