This week we signed up for lessons for the kids' next school year. Our son will start first grade and our daughter will tackle third. We use Abeka's video program.
Why? Simply put, I'm boring. We tried a video-less curriculum on the first go-around with our daughter, but I couldn't keep her focused, she didn't learn much. The presentation style on the videos is far more entertaining than I could ever be, LOL, and keeps her focused and learning, and when she does get stuck, I've been listening so I can expound on what the video teacher said, or sometimes say it in a different way so that it "clicks."
It's a bit of an expense, but it's worth it to us to see her learning so well and to be so EXCITED about learning on top of that.
Most days. She has a few days where she'd rather be left to be creative in some medium that's consumed her rather than do seatwork, but overall the programs really work for us. And the little one, well, if SISSY did it....
