ABEKA Homeschool DVD Curriculum
Curriculum By Subject:
Visitor ABEKA Homeschool DVD Curriculum Review: During the 2010 -- 2011 school year I used the DVD/videotape program from ABEKA and found it to be very difficult to use for my son who was in eighth grade. Each subject was 40 to 50 minutes in length and filled with many topics that sometimes were overwhelming in number. Additionally, the homework assignments were too long many times. In particular, I found that the history homework assignments were especially long in...

The Abeka Academy - Homeschool Curriculum
Curriculum By Subject:
Visitor Review: This is our first year homeschooling using the Abeka Academy. I was excited to use the DVDs thinking that watching them would help me better manage my time between kids. We have homeschooled for years and I was really feeling like I did not have time to sit and work with them individually. I had figured that with a homeschool DVD curriculum, I would get a break from teaching and just be helping them. However, it is not working that way. They really do not...

Apologia General Science and Biology Review
Visitor Apologia General Science and Biology Review:Choosing Apologia has been one of our best decisions for our school. The lessons are very well written and compiled. The experiments are 'do-able' and fun. We have enjoyed every aspect of this curriculum. We waited until higher grades to introduce a 'formal' science curriculum...

There are 4 parts to the program, a set of reading lessons, a set of math lessons, a spelling/vocabulary program and a math facts program. All the lessons are animated. What we like is that the program is very automated and our daughter can work independently through lessons...

Saxon: Math Curriculum With A Good Solid Foundation
Curriculum By Subject:
Visitor Saxon Math Review: This is my first year as a homeschool mom. My oldest (5.5) boy has had a wonderful first year of schooling. We chose Saxon Math initially because we had a friend that used it, and I found it at a curriculum sale for a good price. I honestly hadn't had a chance to even look at it before the sale. We skipped the "K" book and went straight to "Math 1". Once we got into the book and workbook, I was hooked. The flow of the teachings are so smooth and...
