Blessed with seven Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Okay..I am trying to simplify my life with my 3 youngest, ages 9, 10 and 6. 6 year old just learning to read. I am tired of the struggle of pulling in different things from all over. We are more of a relaxed homeschool methodology BUT...as they get older we add in more intense grammar etc... I am really wanting a Christian based learning that incorporates really good books. Would LOVE and APPRECIATE thoughts on this!

Ellie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 What about Beautiful Feet Books? Or the Prairie Primer? Different styles--BF Books is Principle Approach, Prairie Primer is a unit study--but you wouldn't be pulling in different things from all over. Or KONOS? Wonderful unit study based on godly character traits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I want something that incorporates reading aloud, scripture memorization etc... The Prairie Primer is a unit study based on the Little House books. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyWImom Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 What have you used in the past that's worked/hasn't worked? What about MFW? Multilevel learning, good books, scripture memorization, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessed with seven Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well..Sonlight didn't work even though I wanted it to, I need a more relaxed approach, if there is a ton of stuff to ck off each day my mind goes kinda haywire. I have mainly brought stuff in from here and there, trying to piece together my language, science etc...and I just want it layed out for me. I feel like more would get done that way. I am tired of trying to find the "best" stuff here and there. I am also not good at a lot of "creating of stuff" , hands on stuff we have to put together or figure out etc...

We liked HOD, but I don't know about combining all your ages, it's not really meant for multi-level. MFW does schedule science as well as hands on activities & uses notebook pages (coloring pages, maps, etc...) but they aren't difficult. It does have a daily grid, but the readings aren't as intense as Sonlight. They have their scheduled readings, and have a "book basket" list (books that are listed in the back with books that go along with each weeks lessons) so you could add more books if you wanted/needed to. They also have suggested spelling & LA that they recommend and is scheduled but isn't crucial. You can still use your favorites if you want.
