Please Take Me Back, Abeka! | 5 Reasons Why I'm Staying With Abeka Homeschool Curriclum

Last fall, I made the mistake of switching our Language Arts program from Abeka to a different company. It was nothing short of a disaster and I ran back to Abeka. I'm going over the top 5 reasons why I'll be sticking with them for both of my kids at least through 8th grade.

I want you to know, that your video about why you were leaving Abeka several years ago, made me WANT to use Abeka. I’m the type of person that needs everything put together for me! Thank you!

This was exactly the encouragement that I needed! My husband and I decided (last night!) to yank our 11 yr old son out of public school and enroll him in homeschooling, and Abeka Academy is fitting the bill to a T! Subscribing and following like a shadow now!

We are starting homeschooling for the first time. We landed on this curriculum. Thanks for the encouragement! It sounds like a more indepth and comprehensive program.

After a few years, I am trying Abeka again this year. I’m really excited! Same here! Tried all of the above.

Great review! I think we’re going with Abeka this year too for several reasons. Can I just say your hair is gorgeous too! 🥰

[@joelsmith9238]

So funny!! I found out about Master Books through you and tried it last year. We absolutely love the science ,history and social studies from master books but I am definitely coming back to Abeka for all math ,language arts/ writing etc. We definitely lost a good year of progress in math and language/writing/penmanship this last year. It’s ok though! I’m glad we tried it. I just think it is so funny that I’m just going back to Abeka and I just happened upon this page to see you are too! 😆 We just want to get to the point and learn what we need to learn in math and writing. It’s easier for me to follow Abekas directions. Thank you for your videos

Your hair is gorgeous ♥️ thank you for this video

I just came across this video... I’m considering switching back to Abeka language arts as well. I swore we’d never go back to Abeka, but after 2 years, I’m missing it! I agree with what you said... I feel like my kids just aren’t progressing in language arts as much as I would like. Thanks for the video! ♥️

Thanks for this...you helped make up my mind about AOP VS ABEKA!

We did some of the other curriculum you mentioned and ended up at Abeka too. My daughter and I both like the “get to the point” type of style. It’s perfect for us! We are also excited to use MFW for history this year and apologia in the next few years when everyone is just a bit older. Its funny to see someone using the same curriculum for the same subjects 😊. You mentioned your only about half way through the curriculum since you started mid-year. I’m in the same boat...we’re on lesson 130 of my 2nd grade LA but my daughter will be in 3rd grade in the fall. I want to hurry and finish so she can be on track but I don’t want to rush and miss stuff. Do you plan on “catching up” gradually over time with your boys?

Thank you for the review, we use abeka language arts as well, I have an upcoming third grader and I think we will stick with it! I love the “idea” of the Charlotte Mason style but I am more eclectic and like things clear and separate for the core subjects. ;-) May I ask what you use for math?

[@tsg336]

Thanks for your transparency. Do you have the Abeka program with the dvds? Do you send Abeka your grades or you keep up with them yourself? Thanks

[@katiepool8177]

I will be starting homeschool in January and I'm planning on using Abeka for Language Arts - is the best place to purchase the kits on their website or do people piece meal the kits together on their own using eBay etc.? Just curious since it is so expensive and they don't seem to do discounts or anything. :)

[@kimberlygoudzwaard2811]

Thanks for this review! Our oldest is starting abeka k5 when we decide to start our new school year. I’ve heard many good things about their language arts!

[@meaghanbower3856]

Do you use the Abeka academy or parent led? Also do you have a suggestion for a planner?

[@ericadawnwhite]

I resonate very much with you! Feel like I have the same views toward homeschooling as you. ☺️👍🏼 Do you recommend accredited or non-accredited. I have a 2 and 4 year old going to have to make a decision soon.

[@ourfamilytablewellness]

Does this only apply for language arts/phonics, or do you still use them for every other subject as well?

[@DavidSmith-nw8bq]

How many hours is needed a day would you say for this curriculum? We are doin this just curious? Thanks!

Thanks for posting this! We have had a wild ride for my first and I’m trying to smooth things out. Basically we did Abeka for language arts and math in kinder. (I hated the math because it went way too slow for my son). But he hated the workbook and drilling for reading. I learned a TON from teaching him but at the end of kinder he hated school (I think it was his personality because second son has been total opposite). So first grade we ditched Abeka and I just kind of filled in blanks and taught stuff I printed from Teachers Pay Teachers, and we just read a ton. Well now he’s in second grade and I’m realizing that I really need to fill in some blanks and soooo I’m looking back at Abeka again because I know it’s what he and I need. Structure, practice, a plan…Abeka is just amazingly well rounded.

So you "loved" Master Books in April 30th of 2019, and by June 2020 you love Abeka. ??? Folks, what works for one family may not work for yours. In the end, most home school curriculum will give your child a good education compared to any public school.
