You mixed them up! Lightning Literature is secular and Common Sense Press (Learning Language Arts Through Literature) is Christian. 😊

Are there any language arts programs that are mastery?

❤ the video! This is what I need!

It's so true 😂. The ant stuff in the beginning seems to go on forever! It's like, "Why does my kindergartener need to be an expert on ants?!"

My daughter has auditory processing disorder and the right brain phonics has made all the difference!

Also would 180 days go good with this

Where can I find the folded map

I love how detailed your reviews are. So helpful! I hate ordering a curriculum thinking it's one thing and then get it home and I'm totally disappointed.

we did the railway children and Heidi and watch the movie. The railway was a huge hit

Yesss love this thank you!!

The incredible Journey was one of my favorite movies as a kid. We listened to the book on audio last year and the book is completely different. My Friend Flicka is probably a little too graphic with some of the realities of ranch life but the movie cleans that up and remains fairly true. One character in the movie is not in the book.

My oldest son read most of Wild Robot in one sitting, he then read it again to his brother. We took both our boys and a few other 7/8 year olds to see the movie. My son says it's pretty true to the book except he was disappointed they didn't develop some of the animal characters. HSP warning it has some sad "coming of age" parts.

I am so grateful for your information shared and how transparent you are and real about the time we need as well! As well as the way they need to be taught in language and handwriting. For me I relate! Sometimes this walk with my child with needs it feels like I am in a world with this alone educational. And figuring it out is a lot.

Have you tried Euclid Math?

Is there a history curriclum similar to noeo like how bookshark has both science and history. I also didnt like how all the other readers included in bookshark sonlight that doesnt fit the history.

How do you feel about pandia press science doesnt matter which level or topic im just trying to see if its good over all.

Congratulations on citizenship and sorry about your sons elbow.

also what’s your fav literature and experiment based science? I wanted to try so light cause it has both but are there others out there too? You mentioned noeo and moving beyond the page?

we need a run down of the best books for kids you like to read and then watch the movie. Like that lion witch and wardrobe and the harry potter you mentioned. I had no idea they had those versions for younger kids.

This is really helpful. Thanks.

Hi, quick question, what is the printer brand you mentioned for homeschool ?

this looks great! how are you and your kids still liking it?

Please do a video on the Singapore math you used for Autistic child. Thx

thank you ! Madam.

Thank you for this review. I have an 8yo son and I’m trying to decide between torchlight and build your library.

Thank you for sharing. I happened upon this when researching moving beyond the page and it was a bonus to get to see another curriculum!

Love your reviews! Where do you order that curriculum you reviews?

Send all the curriculum books and stuff by post please by tomorrow morning so I don't have to by them thanks so much and please can you reply back when you finished your video thanks so much ❤

Ever use rod and staff phonics and reading in the younger grades? I’m trying to decide what to use for my younger son. He’s very distracted by color . I have abeka but not sure it will work for him.

I love MWC but it was not working for my kiddo. It was tears every lessons. I had to supplement with LMF and developmental math to go along with it and that is what helped her really understand what she was doing. So this year I decided to give MUS a try and oh my goodness it all clicks, no tears. Math is no longer the worst part of our school day.

Congratulations on becoming a citizen. Yes, party like it is 1776! Unrelated but I am looking for a 5th grade language arts curriculum (all in one preferred. We sometimes school in the dining room but sometimes we're in the basement or the car so we misplace books often.) For a hyperlexic 2E guy. We're Catholic and while I think Abeka might be the answer, I am not sure the doctrine differences between our family and Abeka are surmountable. I was homeschooled so I love Abeka LA and loathe Saxon. I remember when Apologia was just Dr. Wyle mailing self published hs science himself.😂

You're totally right about the Epson printer. It's amazing. I don't know how people homeschool without one.

😂🎉

Congratulations 🎉 I heard the process takes forever nowadays, even when you are married to an American for years. But now the wait is over for you so woohoo!!! I watched the video and double checked the transcript but I think you forgot to mention Moving Beyond the Page (which I imagine you saying yes to)? I was also curious why you tried Torchlight over Build Your Library.

Congrats on your citizenship!

Hi, what kindergarten or first grade science do you recommend?

l have the Charlotte Mason math but it is strong on mental math. My grandson handled math u see alpha until lesson 11.He is just not ready to memorize the 9s and 8s. Rod and staff moves even slower so we have parked there for awhile.They cover addition and subtraction to 10 in their level one. Hope this helps someone! He is actually asking to do math now. l think it is building his confidence.

My ADHD child is like this too. If she proves she knows how to do it she's ready to move on. Any math with like tons of questions on the same thing ain't happening. I cover up any part of the page but what we are working on like with cardstock and that's helpful. Great video, thanks.

Charlotte mason math you mentioned first is 54 dollars. Why we didnt get it yet

I joke that as a 39 year old mom I can finally do 1st grade mental math. Saxon just fed my test anxiety and possible math related LD. I bought the good and beautiful math 3 and my husband took one look and told me to sell it because it was too overwhelming to him. My son who struggles (and is neuro spicy) with math but loves it, has really clicked with Math with Confidence. But yeah, if I was teaching multiple kids it would be rough.

Beast Online has three different modes. 1) You can lock the problems and chapters up and he has to solves them to open more up. 2)You can unlock all the levels and paths, so he can answer as many question as he likes. 3) I can't recall. Their grading system is scaled on a 1 star (you are proficient) and 2 stars (you have mastered it) and three being the best. If he does all the problems without errors, he gets three stars. Most 2. Some 1 star. But it really doesn't matter. They have end of chapter tests where you get to see what level out of three they are at. They only require kids to get 1 star to open the next level (if in that mode.) If I was you, I'd just require 1 star to move on the next concept/chapter.

Youre a boss!! Thank you!!! Loge your videos

Also have Montessori training and tons of childcare experience. Some of it was useful with my neurodivergent child. But yeah. Handling power struggles and reinforcing boundaries with that one is a way different flavor than the siblings are. Literally thank God for TH-cam and podcasts.

Thank you for your videos! I'm a boy mom also (they're 5&6) so these are always so very helpful. I appreciate your outside the bix approach as someone who often feels like I need to stay in the box of how to do curriculum. Do you have thoughts on Logic of English?

I got wordly wise k on eBay (teachers guide) and through a homeschool thrift sale (unused student workbook). Total cost was under $20. Still my opinion- My (undiagnosed) ADHD child hates it. So it's not working for us. So too expensive and not for everyone.

You repeatedly say you don't like busy work overall. I don't like it either. My preference is to read, write, discuss and draw with basic school materials with my kid. When it is time for a hands-on activity, I just want the kit, with everything in it, please don't make me go shopping every week. But I understand neurodivergent kids thrive with multisensory activities. Do you do any of that with history or even science? Because I see that as busy work but I am trying just to see if it increase retention in long-term memory...

With the right brain phonics you said you need the flash cards (the set of 40?) and the one book?

Baby’s day out. Homeward bound

Herbie. Great movie
