Thought I posted this here...
Ok...Our main issue is dysgraphia...and I cant have my son stop over the summer. He looses too much when we stop. I have been thinking a lot and realized I need to go back and work on some different skills.
I need a spelling program. I was looking at a lot of different programs but I havent set my mind on any of them. I wanted to add megawords next year...and I was looking at apples and pears. It seems a lot of families suggest apples and pears. I was looking at aas but it seemed like the wording was too babyish. Otherwise, phonetic zoo A. I just dont know how much this sticks. It seems very similar to the SS we are using now...but it doesnt seem to be sticking. Does SS stick after a long time? We are only on lesson 60 or so. I am not sure if I just need to do it more often. I know SS is a whole lot cheaper then other options.
My son cant stand "babyish" books and that is also going into my selections. I have him using his sister's book...language 3 from abeka. He says it is just too babyish. I am now looking into growing with grammar and hake grammar. He used abeka language 6th grade and BoB jones (Long story why I had 2 but we alternated) last year...and did great. When I went back to figure review...he lost it all. He asked me not to buy any religious books for english. Someone mentioned Shurely English, but I am scared that he will HATE the jingles. The rest of it looks wonderful though. Last year I was looking at AG but I dont know if that would really help him? Or Winston grammar? I would love suggestions.
I still want to stick with IEW...We are working slow through it. That will be our writing. I think I am going to break down our sentences then combine them into paragraphs. Doing a whole paragraph is really hard right now.
I just didnt want to go broke buying everything...but I am thinking...
Growing with grammar 6 Maybe 3 times a week? Or Hake daily?
Apples and Pears spelling B or ....
IEW writing
Wordly wise still using 7 maybe add in megawords
Saxon Math 76
Sonlight finishing core 4 then moving to core 6
Science on Fl Virutal school next year
Typing
Rosetta Stone spanish
