Thank you! I hope you have a great summer too!

So glad to have you here!

So I actually stopped at this level because it wasn't working for my oldest son who I strongly suspect has dysgraphia. It was working just fine for my other kids, but I don't think it is the best option for kids with things like dyslexia. All About Spelling is one that is often recommended for kids with dyslexia, as is Sequential Spelling. I am actually going back to Sequential Spelling this coming year because I thought it was very effective. I will have a video coming out soon about Sequential Spelling so you can see if it is something you would be interested in trying!

Thanks I will check it out!

I will definitely do that!

You will do great!

I bought it but I haven't used it yet. I just couldn't fit it in the year I bought it. My plan is to start it this summer though, so I will do a video on it if that works out. Song School Spanish had been really great though! When we used it we also watched Salsa Spanish on TH-cam and that really helped!

@@myhomeschool101Thank-you.

@@ashleym9305 No problem!

I'm so glad it was helpful to you!

It's a great curriculum!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

You are so welcome!

You bet!

I'm so glad it was helpful to you!

Glad you like them!

Thank you for your kind comment! You are absolutely right about the handicrafts. I should stop putting pressure on myself to do them. I like your suggestion about doing it as a 4H project. I will definitely look into that! One of my sons likes to make walking sticks and paint them. Your son might enjoy that!

I'm so glad!

I'm so sorry! I will definitely work on that in future videos. I have everything linked in the comment section to make it easier for people to find the curriculum.

Thank you! You too!

Fantastic! I'm so glad I could help! We LOVE Essentials in Writing!

I'm so glad it was helpful!

Any time! I put links in all of my videos to make it easier for other homeschoolers!

I hope you found something else to use instead!

This is only an introduction to the process and the units. As they progress in age and ability they cover more information and more concepts like correct paragraphs, structure, essay, research papers etc.

@@myhomeschool101 I'm trying the essential in writing this year.

@maryoverton1869 Honestly, I tried to sit through the lessons myself, and I was falling asleep, aside from a couple of long-winded jokes. I know my child, and I don't think it's gonna appeal to her.

@empressamilaj7812 It doesn't have too nor did I say it would. I was just explaining the system. The beauty of homeschooling is we get to pick what works for our individual children and IEW is no different. My oldest liked the videos my youngest doesn't so I just explain it to her and she does the work. My niece doesn't do well with IEW at all so she has a different writing program. So many great ones to from :)

Could you post a link? Everything I saw was something you had to buy.

You are so welcome! Sorry it took so long to respond we haven't had internet for almost a month!

Awesome! Thank you so much! Sorry it took so long to respond, we haven't had internet for about a month!

@@myhomeschool101 you’re welcome! No worries 😉 Glad you’re back!

Thanks 🤗

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

It was a huge flop for us too! I have also heard good things about Flip Flop Spanish as well.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful for you! Their website says that it is a complete grammar and a complete writing program as well, so you don't have to get anything else. However, they don't teach sentence diagramming in their grammar portion, so if that is something you want to teach you might enjoy reading their article about why they don't teach it. essentialsinwriting.com/do-i-need-to-teach-sentence-diagramming/

@@myhomeschool101 I agree with not needing sentence diagramming. I don’t remember ever having to do that during college or even public high school.

@@TheChan7 I never learned it either!

@@myhomeschool101by the way, I just subscribed to your channel. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and happy to connect here 😊

My pleasure!

I was also surprised at how advanced it was. EIW seems to be much more age appropriate.

So I went and looked at PAL. You are right, that probably would have been a better level to start with! So glad you liked the video!

These are great ideas! I love scented markers! Have you ever smelled the toasted marshmallow one? So yummy.

@@myhomeschool101 that I believe so . Sharpies I ll be getting sick from the smell of them my & mom talking about getting Crayola Priment markers they have less of an odor than sharpies. Definitely keep an eye on President’s day weekend sale on Amazon my boyfriend can’t handle sharpie smell either . I already told people one thing they ll not see is sharpies cause they make me sick less than a nano sec magic markers my mom can’t handle the smell of them. I ll have Crayola versions again less order than magic marker.

Glad you enjoyed! I will have second grade and kindergarten curriculum videos out soon!
