Last year, one of my kiddos struggled in the area of grammar and this year is a different story. This kiddo is diagramming sentences like no body's business now. : )
We switched to Stevenson's Essential Grammar and it has made all the difference. Woo-hoo! I love finding something that works!

What a blessing Teaching Textbooks has been to us!
Math was not my best subject in school.
I had some serious trouble with it.
It wasn't my hubby's best subject either. And it really wasn't a good thing when we took the same math class in college and sat by each other! ; ) Too many love notes were getting passed back and forth.....
Anyway, it looked as if one of our kiddos was an awful lot like us in the math department. Uh oh!
That was UNTIL we switched to Teaching Textbooks.
Now he understands upper level math and has wonderful grades! What a blessing!!!!
The one question people were always posing to me when our kids were little, wasn't the socialization question, it was the 'how will you teach high school math' question.
(did I just happen to LOOK like a person who wasn't good at math or what?!) LOL
Anyway, I had some vague answer about there being plenty of high school math programs available out there....
Of course, I had no idea what we would use way back then. I just knew that it would work out somehow because the fear of teaching high school math certainly wasn't worth sending my children to public school! But that is how people made it sound.
Now, here I am on the other side of that hurdle and I'm praising the Lord for providing the right program and for the Sabouris! He is faithful in every way.

Learning Glitches
Dyslexia runs in our family. It's been a challenge to deal with and caused me to spend lots of time in prayer. It has also made me very thankful that we can home school.
I've recently been made aware of Diane Craft's materials for teaching the right brained child. I am really excited about trying them.
If you have kiddos with "learning glitches" she may have the resources you've been looking for.
I'm excited about trying the multiplication cards for the right brained child. They have pictures for each number and a story which will help the RB child get the facts into their long-term memories. I'm also going to use her materials to help my struggling reader.
Her web site also has some fascinating info on nutrition for behavior problems.
Check her out! : )
