Also, I received the cuisenaire rods yesterday, and my son was having a blast building with them! I just let him have some free play. He quickly...
I wish he had Internet access at home, but unfortunately, he doesn't. Just my sister's cell phone, which would be too annoying to use. I might...
Thanks, everyone, for your responses! I went ahead and ordered Miquon, since it is cheap and I can go through it myself ahead of time and see if...
LeapFrog has some great DVDs for phonics sounds and some reading rules. There's one that is called Word Caper (I think) that teaches silent E,...

I know. Unfortunately, that's the reality (one of the many reasons we probably all have chosen homeschooling!) or else he'll just get further and...
My nephew is in kindergarten in public school. My sister told me that he is behind in his reading (level 1 while he should be at a level 3). He...
No experience here - I just wanted to chime in on the idea. I plan to do this with the worldbook standards, as mentioned above, for science and...
2littleboys - Thank you for the advice! Good to know there's good support here. I've heard crickets asking questions elsewhere. My intention is...
