Because Abeka Academy is soooo tried and true with their experienced teachers, I am gravitating towards them for this fall. I cant wait to see more of your Abeka videos!
🌺Aloha Friends! Thank you for watching this video! If you have any questions about homeschooling comment them below and I will try my best to answer them 😊
Is this somewhat "hands off" for the parent? Look like there are 2 options. I need the MOST hands off possible. We are thinking about Liberty Homeschool but I really like what Im seeing with Abeka.
Yes we love Abeka! Getting ready to finish K5. I agree with the seatwork advice, sometimes we skip things. But what ive also decided to do during the summer, is take the time to do those writing assignments that we skipped during the year. You can make it fit your family. I also relate to what you said about having that time with your oldest. I had so much time with my 5 year old. With my 2 year old i find it is harder to give the same time. But i have found that my 2 year old has caught alot of what my 5 year old was taught during the year. She even tried to say all of the Bible verses.
There reading program is wonderful! 30 mins of Bible a day is amazing. We start our day with Bible. I leave papers in the books. I've decided to store them in totes at the end of each year. I think you've explained Abeka very well❤
Very helpful information. I used Abeks over 15 yrs ago for my two smaller ones. My dtr finally allowed me enroll my 3rd grade grandson. I work from home. Online with his old school missed the mark. Thankfully I am in a position to afford this and at home to supervise. Our package is here and I am prepping. Trying to make it a somewhat realistic opportunity for him. I shared your video with his mom and aunt so they can understand what to expect. Very helpful video. Thank you.
Loved watching this, Marina! So fun that we just sent off Christy's last progress report today, too - it's so fun to look back over this year and know even with everything else going on, we were able to finish, by God's grace!! So grateful you shared about Abeka with me last summer. It has truly been a blessing for our family.
Thank you so much for these great tips!! I'm looking to get my girls enrolled in the coming school year. I think I'm going to try their grade they're completing right now during the summer doing Abeka workbooks to see where they're at if enrolling them a grade beind them or starting their upcoming grade level. Thanks again for the tips!!
Ok, so the crate organization method isn't necessary? Also, thank you for breaking this down! it makes me feel so much less intimidated by the curriculum! I know its a great curriculum, but when I sat down to organize, I felt a little bit overwhelmed
We're starting in two weeks I hope it works for us, because remote learning as public schools do little to nothing. They just guide them what to do instead of using that time to teach kids grades k-2
My kids attend a Christian private school with the Abeka curriculum and I absolutely love it! We might be relocating internationally, do you know if I would be able to homeschool my children abroad using the Abeka curriculum? I’d love to keep them using the same learning material. Thanks so much for your videos! They’re so helpful!
I really wish I had seen this before starting my son in kindergarten. Had no idea the material was a grade above and I can see already that there is so much and it is difficult especially the phonics!! Oh well- we will continue the k5 and I am trying not to be so tied down to the lesson plans which can be so much!
Thank you so much Marina. I came across your video today and was blessed by all the knowledge you shared. My little girl is turning 4 at the end of this year and she already knows all her colors, shapes, letters and sounds. After listening to your suggestions of starting them on a grade lower I decided to start next school year with the accredited K4 (dvd) program. What im still debating if I should follow our district school schedule? No sure whats best? Looking forward.
Hi. We are also looking into ABeka. So if we stream there is a live teacher? Videos are recorded? I am totally new to the home school. But with so much happening it’s the safe option. Thank you for reading and if you can reply I would appreciate. God bless and stay safe.
Hi, I love all of your videos as we are looking into starting Abeka with our five year old. She went to a Christian private school but the price has gone up because our town in Idaho has grown. I don’t want to send her to public school and am looking into a homeschool-Christian based program. The private school was a year ahead. So I think she would do great with this program. She had a tutor at home as well and she told us she was way ahead of her Kindergarten students and she was in PK-4. I have a question, if I do the accredited portion and do the videos, when do you return all the videos? Also, the reports are due when? I’m asking because we have a farmhouse in Nicaragua and we love to go there. The kids love playing with the animals and learning the farm life and learning a new culture and learning Spanish. And I have lupus and I need help with the kids if I go into a lupus flare. And there I get a lot of help that I cannot afford here. And my parents like going to their farmhouse and relaxing there as well. And they live with me in Idaho and help me when I’m really sick. So I like to stay with them and vice-versa. I can definitely do the videos in Nicaragua and work. But I don’t know if I stay there 3-4 months how can I turn in the paper work? Would emailing them be an option if they are required after every semester? Or how does it need to be?
Hi there, I have watched this video several times. I tried teaching my kiddos with Abeka curriculum but now we are trying the videos instead of me teaching. The kids love it so far. Are you still using Abeka?
Having listened to vedeos on Abeka curriculum/Academy home schools, can this curriculum be used for a formal school to teach up to 10 children together, please?
Want my son to start Abeka, he is expected to start 3rd grade but after studying this program I was thinking of holding him back to redo second grade as this seems to cover alot he has not learned. How do I go about "holding" him back?
Aloha Marina, Your videos are such a wonderful resource. My daughter will begin 1st Grade Abeka Academy. I purchased the full tuition and curriculum. I wondered: Do you purchase the additional flash cards offered by the Abeka to support your child’s learning? I appreciate your wisdom. Best wishes.
Thank You for your video, This help me a lot, I’m also working at home and I was afraid to make this decision, I have the program in the shopping cart for my second and third grade, and I want to ask you if the program Tuition and Books Enrollment is the one that you use and includes the grades and everythig that you have?
Hello there I’m using Abeka with my four year old! For them to be able to graduate in Florida I can purchase the accredited curriculum only from 9th to 12th grade right? Thank you in advance
So what and how often do you need to send paperwork back to Abeka? I’ve ordered the materials you have and it’s all here!! my little girl starts kindergarten tomorrow! I’m trying to figure out how to get started..
I’m a long time homeschooler but I’ve never used Abeka. Researching because my youngest is gifted and seeking something challenging for her. First question- you mentioned that they do not need to complete all the busywork. Does this hold true for accredited? Also my other currently homeschooled kids have fairly significant learning disabilities. My 13-year-old is on a first grade level in spelling, maybe 2nd grade in reading and about 4th in everything Elsa. Would Abeka work at all for her? And would you recommend video or parent led for her? Also- I viewed some of the sample videos thinking I might try out 2nd grade LA this year for my 7-year- old and I noticed the teacher doing a lot of board work in cursive. I don’t think my little one knows how to read cursive. Will this hinder her if I try to use the videos? Sorry for all the questions but I love your videos so I figured I would pick your brain 😊😍❤️
Here due to Covid... would you recommend that my oldest start at k5? It's our first year homeschooling with only a year of VPK under our belt... I am seriously considering Abeka Academy but worried K5 might be too advanced for her.
I know this video is old but maybe you can help me with breaks? how many do you take? my daughhter is in 1st and we need to take so many breaks but then end up finishing late in the day. Do you have an ideas?
Quick question. I have my twin boys in private school. I decided to start homeschooling them for a year. How would you suggest to for me to start. I decided on Abeka.
We are transitioning from public school to home school for a year minimum. Then when things look better it’s back to school and then may consider private school.
Did you already get rid of the k5 parent books ? I started homeschooling my kids and i have the k5 kids curriculum but wasnt able to afford the parent kit . If you still have i would love to get them donated to me ?
Hello marina. I am so glad you make this video. I have a 5 year old starting school this fall and I am thinking about getting abeka. I had a few questions and reservations about homeschooling my child. I am worried that i won’t be able to teach her correctly and she will fall behind with her studies. Would you say that the abeka videos are adequate in teaching kindergarteners curriculum or did you teach your child along with the videos as well? Thank you!
I can very much relate... I was not confident teaching my children beyond the basics... but Abeka is a God-sent for people like us. Video teachers do an excellent job of explaining everything in a fun way and are able to capture their attentions well. English is not my first language, although i speak it well and prefer it to my first language now, I was not ready to TEACH it to my child. If fact I have been enjoying learning things right along with her. If you are unsure...I always recommend people start their first year unaccredited to get a feel for it... but I am confident you and your child will fall in love with Abeka :-)
Thank you for your reply. I live in California and they are doing distance learning this fall so that is why I have been looking into homeschooling and I love that it had a Christian aspect to it. If I choose to do the unaccredited version does it come with videos as well and also if she goes into public school the next year will she have to redo kindergarten again since it will not be accredited?
I was not advised of how advanced Abeka is. My child was in public school through 3rd grade with part of 2nd grade and all of 3rd grade doing remote public school learning. My child started 4th grade with Abeka this fall and he is doing good. Struggles a little but more with the discipline.
I have twin girls going into first grade and they both are going at an accelerated rate. How would they or what is the process to skip a grade? Or move quicker through the grade?
I think you would have to be parent led to do that. I don't think you can do that in the accredited program. Although I don't know enough about it so don't quote me :-)
Can we skip some videos if we choose dvd option?? I signed up for video streaming and like you said, I think some videos are repetitive. I don’t want my girls to spend lot of screen time. I am not able to skip the videos and they don’t let me move forward with the next day if I don’t complete Watching all the videos for that day. Thanks for advice.
jannu shirley I don’t know how streaming works with Abeka, we never chose that option. I know you can skip with DVDs easily... they do make you sign at the bottom of progress reports that your kid watched all the videos, but I mean there are some things that have nothing to do with Academics that I think could be skipped like class singing or certain art projects...ultimately you are the principal of your homeschool, so it’s your decision 😉
Marina, you are incredibly helpful. We are looking at moving our oldest child out of a private school that uses Abeka into homeschool and looking at this program. My main concern is they aren’t focusing on cursive yet in the private school. If I were to do the Grade 2 kit, do you think I should also look into some grade 1 products as well? They use Reading, Spelling and Comprehension aspects of ABeka and looks like some of their math is very similar to what Abeka homeschool is like. Your videos have been so helpful.
PerkinsCrush just use the second grade materials for cursive and practice ahead of time...they still go over letter formation in second grade but briefly
Does the tuition package included a teacher planner? ZI am new at this and I’m worried that I may get overwhelmed if I don’t have some kind of direction or guidance to keep track of progress and what to do each day.
thanks for making this video.. my kids is going to 3rd grad. how often would i need to explain things to her? do they have 1 to 1 student and teacher time ?
if the child needs to repeat a grade, then do you have to buy the whole grade package/books all over again? especially if they have completed pages in the workbook etc? Also, does it matter when you start and finish the school year?
TheArtfulButterfly I have not done it myself so I can’t give you all the details. You can call Abeka and ask them how you can go about repeating a grade. It only matters when you start and finish if you are accredited. But there are 3 options: 6,9 & 12 months program.
Also, I am planning to do the streaming for the classroom portion. So do you know if there is an app or how we as parents/students sign on into each lesson daily?
Answering in case someone sees this question & is also wondering: In the video she's referring to not doing all the "seatwork", which is extra work designated for the students to complete each day (typically in a classroom setting, so the teacher can work with other students), hence the term "seatwork". The papers she is sending in are all required tests, which are all listed on the progress reports. There are 6 grading periods, and each one has its own progress report with what specifically needs to be sent in. For example Phonics Test 12 and then a space to write the grade. All the tests and when to take them are outlined in the video manual. It's all very clear once you have the curriculum in front of you. :-) If you don't send in all the required tests then Abeka will not issue a grade or report card. So, she's not talking about skipping any of the tests or required items, she's just taking about skipping seatwork. Also, if you're unaccredited, you don't have to send in any tests or anything and you can choose what Classes and worksheets you want your child to complete. Hope this helps clear up any confusion! ❤😊
I would get kindergarten tuition (it comes with everything you need including DVDs and answer keys) and do it "parent led" for the first year to ease your way in to Abeka.
I’m not an expert on Abeka. My son is about to finish their preschool program. I am a Texas public school 🏫 teacher 👩🏻🏫 though. I seriously doubt Abeka utilizes Common Core.
Sorry about your son. But guns don't kill people. People do. What was this child doing with a rifle anyway. His parents fault not the gun. No such thin as an assault rifle. AR stands for an armorlite rifle.
TyrekeCorrea the workbooks (with pages that tear out) are all used up to the fullest at the end of the year. It’s the books like teachers key and text books that were read through that I usually donate.
Before you ask any parent to have his/her child homeschooled by your program’s guidelines, you must brush up on your grammar. I am an educator who is very “fiendishly” particular about grammar. Your TV ad has a child saying, “…tackle any challenge that ARE on THEIR way..” What is wrong with this sentence? The verb and pronoun do not agree with the subject. The subject is “challenge”. It is SINGULAR, therefore, so must be the verb and the pronoun. Shame on you.

I love seeing sky reading
Is easy for parents that dont speak English that good?
Blue Sky English is not my first language...so I thinks you will do well. You’ll be just learning with your child 😊

Stefanie Lozinski awe, thanks ☺️
I second with her soothing voice. 😄
Abeka is so great, I can't believe is so great.
But is not easy
Just wish I had known abeka sooner
Loved watching this, Marina! So fun that we just sent off Christy's last progress report today, too - it's so fun to look back over this year and know even with everything else going on, we were able to finish, by God's grace!!

How often do you send in the Progress Reports?.
Thank you soooo much for this video. You answered all my questions. Keep up the videos please!

Skye and Caden are both Excellent Students.
God Bless Them.
Have a Amazing Day!!!!!
2nd year of college looking up random abeka videos because I miss it

So did you homeschool through Abeka? Did you feel prepared for college? Just so curious
Thank you so much for these great tips!! I'm looking to get my girls enrolled in the coming school year. I think I'm going to try their grade they're completing right now during the summer doing Abeka workbooks to see where they're at if enrolling them a grade beind them or starting their upcoming grade level.

We're starting in two weeks I hope it works for us, because remote learning as public schools do little to nothing. They just guide them what to do instead of using that time to teach kids grades k-2

Looking forward.
We just enrolled today and chose streaming. I hope that was the best decision for my boys. I see you went with the DVDs.
TYESHA RAY good for you! I hope you like Abeka as much as we do 😊 We chose DVDs because our internet connection is slow and unreliable 🤨

on a sweet note by carlynne just take one day at a time...you got this!
Carlynne how did it go? I’m think of pulling my first grader out of public school to do Abeka.
So is there a video that they watch everyday ?? Or do they give you a lesson plan? I have no idea and thinking of homeschooling

Roughly how long is each video with abeka.
Good video... do you sell that videos?
Why it is Academy? It's not an School acredited with some number registered at the education board of the state?
请问二手书卖的吗？
Hello there I’m using Abeka with my four year old! For them to be able to graduate in Florida I can purchase the accredited curriculum only from 9th to 12th grade right? Thank you in advance
So what and how often do you need to send paperwork back to Abeka? I’ve ordered the materials you have and it’s all here!! my little girl starts kindergarten tomorrow! I’m trying to figure out how to get started..
Congratulations! You need to send the progress reports 6 times a year. (Abeka lessons are divided in 170 lessons and 6 grading periods)
If I use the unaccredited version and then decide to return to public school,will they honor the grade level my child is in with Abeka?

Look for the scope an sequence on the Abeka website to see what your child knows and what they need to learn.
I know this video is old but maybe you can help me with breaks? how many do you take? my daughhter is in 1st and we need to take so many breaks but then end up finishing late in the day. Do you have an ideas?
Do you need any aditional posters, clip art or extras when you go through the academy side of it?
are there any resources or groups for homeschooling dads?
Yes! I found a great podcast "rooted in homeschool" that has an episode for Dads.
Loved your video. Thank you for sharing. Did your son start with K4 or K5?

I have twin girls going into first grade and they both are going at an accelerated rate. How would they or what is the process to skip a grade? Or move quicker through the grade?
I think you would have to be parent led to do that. I don't think you can do that in the accredited program. Although I don't know enough about it so don't quote me :-)
Manual states that no one can complete a grade quicker than six months.
So do you recommend k4 for a 6 year old who is in kindergarten right now and is not learning much in public school?

My main concern is they aren’t focusing on cursive yet in the private school. If I were to do the Grade 2 kit, do you think I should also look into some grade 1 products as well? They use Reading, Spelling and Comprehension aspects of ABeka and looks like some of their math is very similar to what Abeka homeschool is like. Your videos have been so helpful.
PerkinsCrush just use the second grade materials for cursive and practice ahead of time...they still go over letter formation in second grade but briefly
Im gonna do abeka for first time I order the whole year package for grade 1 not sure if I will need to buy more stuff ... can you advice me?
we just use what come in the package, it's more than enough for us.
Does the tuition package included a teacher planner? ZI am new at this and I’m worried that I may get overwhelmed if I don’t have some kind of direction or guidance to keep track of progress and what to do each day.
I am the same way.. Moreover, have you gotten an answer to your question?.
Hi m from India,I want to know how they will connect with children,means through zoom or any other ????plz reply
They will sent a dvd to you with all the teachings
Did you get the package? I have seen a package for like 300. Is that the one you got?
Do yo keep the original work and send off photocopies?
你好
If you start a Grade lower, as in 7th and the student is in 8th, are they essentially being held back? Would they have an extra year of school?
Same question, I think I would need to go a grade lower, but I’d like more info on how that would work.
thanks for making this video.. my kids is going to 3rd grad. how often would i need to explain things to her? do they have 1 to 1 student and teacher
time ?
there is no one on one time, but the teacher explains everything well.
if the child needs to repeat a grade, then do you have to buy the whole grade package/books all over again? especially if they have completed pages in the workbook etc? Also, does it matter when you start and finish the school year?
TheArtfulButterfly I have not done it myself so I can’t give you all the details. You can call Abeka and ask them how you can go about repeating a grade. It only matters when you start and finish if you are accredited. But there are 3 options: 6,9 & 12 months program.
Also, I am planning to do the streaming for the classroom portion. So do you know if there is an app or how we as parents/students sign on into each lesson daily?
Yes, I have the same question.. So, how do you stream???..
How much is the curriculum?
What graded papers are you sending them if you opt out of doing all the papers they have ? Thankyou
Answering in case someone sees this question & is also wondering:
In the video she's referring to not doing all the "seatwork", which is extra work designated for the students to complete each day (typically in a classroom setting, so the teacher can work with other students), hence the term "seatwork".
The papers she is sending in are all required tests, which are all listed on the progress reports. There are 6 grading periods, and each one has its own progress report with what specifically needs to be sent in. For example Phonics Test 12 and then a space to write the grade. All the tests and when to take them are outlined in the video manual. It's all very clear once you have the curriculum in front of you. :-) If you don't send in all the required tests then Abeka will not issue a grade or report card.
So, she's not talking about skipping any of the tests or required items, she's just taking about skipping seatwork.
Also, if you're unaccredited, you don't have to send in any tests or anything and you can choose what Classes and worksheets you want your child to complete.
Hope this helps clear up any confusion! ❤😊
Do Abeka has an access for me to test my kids to see possible what grade they would possibly be appropriate to be in with Abeka program?
I’ve searched their website and I don’t think they do. That would have been cool though!
Aloha !! What is the better package to buy from abeka ? This is my first year with my son in kindergarten, thank you
I would get kindergarten tuition (it comes with everything you need including DVDs and answer keys) and do it "parent led" for the first year to ease your way in to Abeka.
Aloha Marina ok thank you !!
Aloha Marina what is the name of the kit you buy ?
William Urquilla it's on the website it just says tuition K5
Do you think children with dyslexia will do well with Abeka?
JANET BOWEN idk...can someone with more knowledge on this reply?
Abeka doesn't buy back and sell used packages for parents?
Quyen Vu not that I know of
Do you know if abeka utilizes the Common Core system for math? I'd prefer to not use it, so wondering.
I’m not an expert on Abeka. My son is about to finish their preschool program. I am a Texas public school 🏫 teacher 👩🏻🏫 though. I seriously doubt Abeka utilizes Common Core.
Abeka doesn't use common core :)
I will say.. that if you plan on going back into a public school setting, especially one that uses common core, Abeka math might not be a good fit.
That's weird...because on their website they say many of their subjects including mathematics are aligned with common core.
Hello, do you have to report with your state or school district?
Check with your local laws
Did you rented the dvds?
Hellyng Perry DVDs come with the curriculum, but you have to return them as you finish each case of DVDs 📀 or at the end of the year.
I need to send him the home works? And if yes where I send it?
You only need to send the tests to Abeka if you are accredited with them.
@@KeikiPlayTime OMG thaks a lot I was really scared about that
Marina, do you send back DVDs?
Tatyana Vilovchik you do
Sorry about your son. But guns don't kill people. People do. What was this child doing with a rifle anyway. His parents fault not the gun. No such thin as an assault rifle. AR stands for an armorlite rifle.
But those are workbooks! They weren't designed so large portions of them could be useless!
TyrekeCorrea the workbooks (with pages that tear out) are all used up to the fullest at the end of the year. It’s the books like teachers key and text books that were read through that I usually donate.
@@KeikiPlayTime Really?
♻️
My advice abeka is a bunch of crooks you better not order it.
Why do u say that
@@rose-ot3jo i had a hard time getting my money back but i finally got it
Oh okay so would u say it’s a good homeschool or just pass :)
@@rose-ot3jo yes it is a good homeschool
Thank u 😊
lie its awful
Before you ask any parent to have his/her child homeschooled by your program’s guidelines, you must brush up on your grammar.
I am an educator who is very “fiendishly” particular about grammar.
Your TV ad has a child saying, “…tackle any challenge that ARE on THEIR way..”
What is wrong with this sentence? The verb and pronoun do not agree with the subject. The subject is “challenge”. It is SINGULAR, therefore, so must be the verb and the pronoun.
Shame on you.
