Have you tried doing literature the Charlotte Mason way? Read, oral narrate if she’s not used to that. Then do written narrations gradually. It’s helped my kids so much and keeps them accountable. We do picture narrations sometimes also or watercolor or even act out what was read. We do this for majority of our readings. Then my kids have free reads they can choose from. Before bed they have their own picks (mom approved). Editing to add read the book Know and tell by Karen glass. So good and might give you some different perspective.

Yes - we have done loads of narration for years! And I love the book Know & Tell by Karen Glass. I wish it had been around 16 years ago when we started :) Thanks for the comment and advice. I think I need to stop overthinking some things (like literature!!) and just go back to tried & true basics like oral & written narrations.

Thank you. I just let my kids do a fun little oral report for books they read. Also would love to see how you implement notebooking if you don't do the workbook.

Yes! We do a lot of oral narration too. It just makes sense because kids naturally love to tell about what they've read or learned. I will definitely plan to do another video on the notebooking aspect. Thanks for the reply!

Loved this review! We plan to do BJU 5 math next year, so happy to hear that you love it and don’t use the TE! How do you check answers? (please don’t say you have to work all the problems behind your child to check them 🤣). I almost want to buy the TE just for the answer key. Or did you find an answer key available another way?

@homeschoolwithmoxie 10 ай бұрын

It's still fairly easy to check this without the answer key. For something like long division, we just use a calculator. Obviously, if the answer to a detailed problem is wrong, we do have to go back and find the error - but that's a good learning experience in itself. So, yes, I do glance over everything to "check the answers" but it doesn't take more than a couple minutes! I still think it beats buying the teacher's edition and wading through that beast ;)

I’m so bummed to hear that Generations science is dry and boring! We are starting it this week! Have you done Apologia?I heard the same about Apologia which is why we decided on Generations. What science program do you and your kids like?

I think it was the student workbook that made it dry and boring! The books are actually pretty nice. Since I already had it on hand, this same child is using Generations' God Made the World science curriculum (grades 5-7) and is enjoying it this year. BUT we're notebooking as we read instead of using the corresponding workbook. So, keep that in mind if your kids find it boring! But you never know, your kids may love it. We have used Apologia at all different levels (Jr. Botany, Jr. Anatomy, and middle & high school courses) and the kids have "enjoyed" it as much as you can enjoy science when it's not your favorite subject ;)
