We used Abeka Math 3 last year. A friend loaned us the teacher's guide, but we did not use it enough for me to encourage you to buy it. We did not complete the full grade....math is not our strong point. We will finish this fall and then continue on to 4. Abeka 3 was a tough year for us....and we to...

Thanks for all your replies. The PA state law is very rigorous...and interpreted on a wide spectrum of "essentials." My evaluator is looking for something substantial by day or on a weekly plan. I think I may try the spread sheet and copy a few "sample" units to include for the district's review. Lo...

Hello, All- We live in Pennsylvania and are starting Preparing and Beyond next week. I have searched out other posts on this topic, but didn't quite find an answer.... In PA, we are required to turn in a portfolio at the end of the school year that includes a daily log. It must "specify specific dat...

Brenda- I have to do educational objectives for my children as well---in PA. They are in the same grades as your two girls. Last year I obsessed over getting them "just right." But in the end, I used the table of contents from our math curriculum (as the prior post suggested) and then generalized th...

Thanks for the encouragement, ladies.

Can you split a level? For example: order 2B & 3A for a school year? Or is this not recommended?

Thanks, Julie!

You have been a true blessing!

Good Morning- I don't want to vent, but I'm sooo frustrated with my math placement for my 10 yr old son. We just completed Abeka Math 3, which I thought was pretty advanced. While we struggled, we plugged through the year and planned on doing math through the summer, because it is not his favorite s...

Thanks so much, Julie. I was so hung up on combining the two that I never thought of doing Preparing and Beyond together. Beyond might be just what my younger guy needs for next year. Can I just ask....looking at Preparing, you choose a reading program--DITHOR, but then at the end it gives the "Delu...

My oldest (10) is reading chapter books independently---struggles sometimes with reading aloud (stutters)--but totally gets the comprehension when reading to himself. He has read a whole series of Star Wars books (6 in all-his latest craze) and some illustrated classics like Around to World in 80 Da...

Hi- I was wondering if I could get an opinion on if I should combine or use separate curriculums for my boys in the fall. I have a 10 year old ds who is a great audio learner and loves to read (4th grade in fall). I also have a 7 year old ds who is more of an emerging reader. He is more concrete...l...

Hi- I'm new to the message board and am in the process of deciding about my first purchase with HOD. I have 2 boys, ages 10 & 7. I believe that BHFHG is the best choice to include both boys for my up-in-coming year. My question has to do with choosing the readers. My 7 yr old is definitely an "emerg...
