My son with ADHD does well with teaching textbooks for math. He struggles in math, but the “stickers” that he gets when he gets a problem right give him a sense of reward. Also, only being able to view the problem he is doing (instead of a page full) helps to keep the feelings of overwhelm down. I learned about this curriculum from you almost 3 years ago! I’m not sure what I would do without it, it kinda carries him through the subject so that he can be a little more independent at times.
I find that curriculum can work for any kids and I don’t need to look for a dyslexic curriculum but a curriculum that works for my dyslexic kids!!! I can make curriculums multi sensory at times as I can add extra activities in that I know my kids will learn better!!! I love to find out where my kids are struggling to just go over those things!!!
Diane Craft has been a game changer for my FASDS,ASD,and ADHD grandson! Her methods roll over into all your other curriculum. Also appreciate Masterbooks math along with their guide book and practice books.l use the math u see manipulatives but wondered what you thought about their curriculum? When l look near the end of the books l fear it is too hard.An example would be adding 4 numbers together by the end of alpha whereas masterbooks does not do that until much later. So here l am teaching Masterbooks with math u see manipulatives! l have homeschooled for 33 years but things have changed so much l really appreciate your videos.l think l have memorized a few curriculums by now lol
Haha I am sure you have memorized several. Yes Diane Craft is so amazing. As far as Math U See it does introduce some things sooner but it only focuses on one thing per book so it focuses on just addition and subtraction which is why it dives into topics deeper because it's not covering anything else. That being said this is still our first year but it is going well so far.
Such a great video! Such good questions to ask. Thanks so much! We have loved All About Reading and Math With Confidence. We did eventually switch maths because it somehow, at least for us, took a lot of time between the review, games, lesson, and workbook (which my kiddos couldn’t handled independently) but I still loved it as a teacher-mom so much. I have been using the same author Kate Snow’s Math Facts that Stick to shore up some of my kiddos math facts memorization. I am curious about teaching textbooks… it may have to be an option since we’ll go from 3 kids to 4 kids needing individual reading and math. Thank you so much for always sharing such good insights and encouragement!
Do you know of a curriculum like Teaching Textbooks for Language Arts? TT has been SO helpful in getting my son "caught up" and understanding math...Im hoping something similar is out there for LA He's 11, reads well but doesn't like it so following a written lesson is hard. I need it to be as hands off for the teacher as possible.
For an 8 and 9 year old would you go with the structure and style? or would you pick one of the specific themed ones? Curious on your thoughts. I would love to use the same program for both my kiddos.
My son is in the fifth grade is really struggling with spelling. Spelling You See seemed to work at first but tapered off. We were considering Phonetic Zoo, but I’m not sure that the auditory component will be enough with his ADHD? Do you think he may be more successful with All About Spelling? I know you can’t know for sure 😊 Just wondering your opinion.
Look into reading around the campfire by Campfire Curriculum. I changed my recently diagnosed son (Dyslexia and ADHD) to it and have seen major leaps and bounds. The developmental psychologist and his reading specialist all gave it a stamp of approval. And as a parent it has made that part of school sooooooo much easier. We pair it with Spelling you See and will add in cursive but that’s cause my son is in third so we’re filling some other gaps.
There is no writing in the program. So you read and do activities but they’re easy tailored to the kid. So it’s multi-sensory but not in the typical sense. I know this comment is a month old but if you see it, please check it out. I cannot praise the curriculum enough.
Love the “time budget” tip! That’s so important to factor in.
It is something I wish I would have factored in sooner
“Splintered skills” is one of the best descriptors I have heard in a very long time! That resonated deeply.
It has helped me understand my son especially and I am glad it helped you as well.
This is so helpful. I like the way you start from a place of principles/questions to ask instead of One Right Answer for Every Child. So good!
❤️
I’ve learned so much from you in homeschooling my SPED kiddo. You have a such a gift for communicating and knowledge to pass along!
So glad this could help

Thanks so much for this video! Not too much out there to help the special needs families. This was great info!
So happy this helped

Exactly
Yes, I’m actually doing this right now. I’ve been at it for hours. I can’t find nothing. Hopefully you have some good things.
Hope it helped

@@LifeintheMundane thank you so much for responding!
You completely showed the items my son with ADHD uses 😂 we love ETC & MWC. We also love teach you’re monster to read and bob books.
❤️

Thanks for watching
Great information! Very helpful…
So glad it helped
Thanks for this video. I have twin girls who are autistic, so I’m definitely going to use your tips when looking for curriculum
So glad this helped
What a great video with great tips and resources. Thanks for sharing as usual!!
You are welcome

Great advice, and thank you for the recommendation!
You are welcome
Sorry, I didn't see a link to the video you mention at the end for things to learn beyond academics. Thanks! Great video!

I don't unfortunately, I wish there was something like that too.
What kind of curriculum? for a teen 10th grade with autism and adhd.
This Saturday I will actually be sharing my curriculum picks for my highschooler with Autism and I think that would help.
For an 8 and 9 year old would you go with the structure and style? or would you pick one of the specific themed ones? Curious on your thoughts. I would love to use the same program for both my kiddos.
Personally, I do not do any structured writing until middle school here is what we do instead th-cam.com/video/93Ip_o-kvZk/w-d-xo.html
Would you happen to know of any similar websites as Film School 4 Teens that are geared more towards Upper Elementary? :) Thanks.
I don't know of any but if I find one I will be sure to help

The hardest thing is finding a learn to read curriculum for an an auditory learner with adhd/dyslexia child. Multi sensory overwhelms him.
Have you tried “teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons”. It has no frills and is very auditory based.
