I think I'm going to have my 6th grade son do Abeka 3-4 grade language. We put him in public school and for three years he still doesn't grasp any language skills. We decided to once again homeschool last year and found all of this out the hard way. Lots of tears and frustration
Do you get viedon instruction for every subject? Is that the accredited program? Will be new to home school and abeka for my son being in 3rd grade next year.
Yes, you get videos for each lesson, for each subject. You can chose to purchase an accredited program, or unaccredited. We chose unaccredited, because it is a little less stressful (accredited has more tests and timelines that you have to follow, and it didn't work with our traveling schedule.)
Do you actually read the teacher's manual? I have ADHD, and I just can't do prep work... By that I mean that I have tried to, and I mean to, but I just never do it, so it doesn't work for me :-( I had what I felt was an amazingly strong foundation learning language arts through abeka in a private school... And I want to give that to my kids (I was able to find an open and go curriculum that handled the first two years of teaching language arts at least as thoroughly as abeka, just kinesthetically. But after the first two years their program changes, and I need the kids to start being more independent when they can read since I have so many. ) Anyway, I just need to know if reading the teacher manual is important too that solid outcome?
There is some important information in there that would be very helpful for you. The main thing is the outline for each day. Each day has a number, and you need to go over everything they assign for that day. In the lower grades, it's pretty easy. It'll tell you what to assign, and what to teach. But if I didn't have my teachers manual, I'd be lost.
@@mandy-maltz thank you for responding! Is it a checklist of things to teach/pages to do? and when it instructs you what to teach them, is it the sort of thing you can out read out loud (directed to the student?) Or do you have to read it ahead of time and rephrase? or could I just look at the page numbers assigned, and reference the teacher book if I don't understand how to explain it
Bethany Atkinson I typically don’t need to read it before hand, but o check what’s going on for the week in case there are quizzes and tests I need to know about. They guide you through it all, so it’ll tell you “say this to the child...”, and “assign page 78 for homework”. You do have to read the text there for each day, but it’s like half a page, depending on the grade, and it’s just a breakdown of what you will instruct the child to do and what you teach them.

Thank you so much!
Hi, just watched ur last years programme on you leaving Abeka for Masterbook for English language, did master books not work out?
Yes, we switched back to Abeka. It was just a better fit for us :)
Very helpful! Thanks so much!!!

What would be your 2nd Language Arts program choice? Sadly, Abeka wasn’t a good fit for my child or myself teaching it
Where did you get your shirt?!
Amazon!
