Quiver0f10 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I need a simple, open and go Geography course for a dyslexic 9th grader. I looked at North Star, which looks great! But I think the reading would be too much for him at this point. I am also considering SOS and PACES. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Would something from here work? http://www.wiesereducational.com/products/j_social-studies/41-j_geography-cultures/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 We went with Runkle's Geography but with a twist. I knew my son would not be able to memorize and spell all the names and capitals of every country. So, I had him use http://sheppardsoftware.com/to learn where all the countries are located. He can now place the countries within 10 miles and has moved onto Level 4. His goal is to get to level 6 for every continent. He officially knows where more countries are then I do. We also used Quizlet to help create tests. Check out http://quizlet.com/subject/Runkle/ One family did a great job back in 2011 making up sets of cards to go with each chapter. It's the doerrfamily . Use their cards. Using both helped to lower the amount of writing my son had to do. This lowered his frustration level and helped him to focus on learning. I also give him verbal chapter review tests. Geography is one of his favorite subjects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
