Thanks for posting! We've been using Abeka History and Science grade 6 this past semester, and I decided to switch to TCI's History Alive for history. I was thinking about switching to BJU for science as we've had success with their math program. I think I will move forward with that after watching this post. History and science are fascinating, but I found Abeka's curriculum to be boring with lots of terms to memorize and not much depth within each topic.

Which one do you like more BJU ir LOE
@JanelleKnutsonАй бұрын
@@kelsey0406 for learning HOW to read (decode words), I prefer LOE or AAR. For working on reading comprehension, I prefer BJU Press. Hope that makes sense. 😊

Is the Consumer Math from BJU a half year or full year curriculum? Thanks.
@JanelleKnutsonАй бұрын
@@goldenarm2118 full year course. It is excellent and so practical for preparing for adult financial life. Very glad we went with it this year.

I love that A Beka reinforces the basic facts from a young age. I like their emphasis on memorization especially in Phonics Special Sounds and Arithmetic Facts. I taught in a Christian School using A Beka and I graduated from PCC and what I will say is yes I agree about it being a level above. I think the reason they go through the basics very quickly in A Beka K5 is because they do have a k3 and k4 problems and they assume the students know the basics already. I am now a mom and looking into homeschooling my preschoolers, thats why I am watching this video. I never looked into BJU, but now I will definately take a look. Thank you!

I have binge watched videos comparing Math U See, Singapore, Math Mammoth and a few others and I can honestly say this is the most helpful video I have seen so far. I think a lot of the people saying that Math U See was too boring, or something similar, would have benefited from watching this video. It seems to me that one of the biggest mistakes is this desire to "check boxes" (I suffer from this), where you want to finish every single worksheet. :)

I know this is an old video, but it is the only review I can find about A Heart 4 You: China. Just a quick question, is it important to have the exact biographies shown on the website? Like does it tell you page numbers or ask questions that make it necessary to use those versions? Just curious if we could substitute other sources. Thanks!

Thanks for these tips as I’m a 2nd year BJU distance learning user for my child and I was trying to do “everything” which does get overwhelming. This is really helpful!

Thanks for the video explanation. We are currently using AAR and it’s working very well but I was wondering if LOE might work even better but I think I’ll stick with AAR right now since it’s working just fine. I actually do like that the writing is minimal bc my kid hates to write.

I know this is an old review, but I’m considering this for next year. Would you say the teachers manual is necessary? Or does the student workbook walk the student through the writing process? (I would rather not do the online program)

Hi. Thank you for all your videos! I normally homeschool/parent led with Abeka- 3 years now. This year we decided to go with BJU Press for every subject. My problem is the DVD’s are blurry. We purchased 2 new DVD -R players and it’s still blurry. Can you please recommend the DVD player you used. Thank you
