Re: MTMM for a girl with little previous science?

I like it for eighth grade. It worked very well for my daughter last year. (She has done HOD since 3rd grade/Bigger Hearts.) You may need to do a little "hand holding" with the written narrations at first... maybe help define a topic sentence before she starts writing. I did that with my son in his...

Re: MTMM for a girl with little previous science?

IEW won't teach written narrations, they are totally different. There are guidelines in the back of the guide for written narrations and I would suggest you look at some of the week in review examples to see what they look like. My ds really liked IEW because it did give him a lot of guidance in le...

Re: MTMM for a girl with little previous science?

How is her reading ability? One book (Atoms in the Family) was a real challenge for my daughter, who I consider an excellent reader and very diligent student. Her reading is pretty good. We've been doing Sonlight, so reading hard books is common. It seems to be too much reading though! She isn't a ...

Re: MTMM for a girl with little previous science?

She should be fine. It explains things very well and at an easy to understand and interesting level. Has she had any experience with written narrations? Some of the books do require those. I would think it would be much easier for her to jump into the MTMM science than to jump into Apologia General...

MTMM for a girl with little previous science?

My 13 yr old dd has very little science experience. I was planning to start her with Apologia general science this coming year, but I really like the look of MTMM and the included science. Would she be ok starting here or does she need more science before this? Thanks so much for any help!

Re: Trying to decide if HOD CTC is right for us

My girls will be 9 and 12 next school year. The oldest is a great reader, she was reading at 7th grade level in 4th grade, but she only likes certain types of books. We're trying to get her to branch out, but she totally isn't interested. The younger doesn't care much for reading at all. They have 3...

Trying to decide if HOD CTC is right for us

Hi y'all! I'm looking into starting CTC with my 2 daughters next year. I'm wondering if anyone using or who has used CTC can tell me a bit about it. Is there ALOT of reading involved? My oldest enjoys reading, but mostly scary stories like RL Stine, and my youngest doesn't care much for reading at a...
