Was talkin about this on another group site and thought I would post it here as well ... www.brainpop.com and/or www.brainpopjr.com Brain Pop is a web site...
Hi. I wanted to let everyone know about a new newsletter we have started. It advertises freebies, special prices, and new products as they come available....
Hi Ladies, I am mostly a lurker. Actually, I have a slight problem that I am hoping you ladies can help me with. We have been hsing for 10+ yrs, we have 5...
Hi, my daughter has worked to purchase a guitar and would love to learn how to play. We live out in the country, so there is no one even remotely near that...

Hi Karen, Your message sounds like it could have been written by me. I am looking for the same information. We have two daughters (8 & 9yrs) who have just...
Could you offer up a little tough love? Flashcards, dolch words, a phonics workbook...some level of these needs to be completed to earn video time??? Could you...
Hi Jody, I too had that problem in the past. After trying everything I could find someone gave me a copy of the book Teach your child to read in 100 days. My...
Hi, Jody. I can't say I have any great advise for you, but just wanted to let you know what I do with my 6 yr. old who also loves video games. For every page...
Dear Jody, Been there done that!!! I feel your pain. I now have a 14 year old who reads fairly well and is learning more and more mostly due to some computer...
I think I might try reading aloud to him as much as possible, and then stopping in the middle of an exciting part, telling him you have to get some things...
Jody, I also found this website someone posted last week and I love it...my 13 year old, only sort of loves it, but yours might. www.brainpop.com Its free...
My first thought would be to have him tested if you haven't already done this to rule out any type of learning disability. I also heard of something the other...
Have you had his eyes checked? At 7 my son could memorize anything read to him and repeat it, but couldn't go back and read the sentence from the page. The...
Hello, This is my first year homeschooling my son, 13, 7th grader. I have a question. I was impressed with a prepackaged curriculum and bought. But, the...
I too have an 8 y.o. that has struggled with reading, but loves math!! I too had wondered....what am I not doing right here??? And now I see I am not alone....
My first response to a 7 yo not reading yet is...He is still young! Boys seem to be even slower in this area than girls. My ds (who is 18 now) didn't really...
Donna, I agree withyou....the prepackaged curriculum is very dry, especially when it comes to history. We use Tapestry of Grace and really enjoy it. We have...
Hi Ladies, Thanks so much for all your replys on reading. I'm not so much worried about him not reading yet, as I am about his total resistance to even...
I would say it definitely depends on what prepackage deal you are looking at. I can tell you from experience that Alpha Omega products are very thorough. I've...
Hi, Donna! This is our first year homeschooling, too. My oldest son is 12, youngest 9. We started out using the same packaged curriculum (Accelerated...

my son is now 8 but is closer to a first grade reading level. do you have any ideas's to help hiim advance to his reading level and still enjoy learning to...
Lynn, I encourage you to read to him as much as possible. 8 is SO young for boys. My 14 year old boy is finally reading comfortably, but still struggles with...
If you have ruled out a learning disabilty, then just read with him. My 10 yo reads out loud whenever we are in the car. sometimes it drives me nuts, but it...
The best advice I can give you is just to read out loud together everyday. Focus on enjoying the story and enjoying your time together snuggled up. Make it...
I might try getting his input on what he thinks is "smart". Ask him, if he was "smart", what book could he read or what skill could he do, then work toward...
Hooked on Phonics works really well with my son. He is 8 also and at the 1st grade level reading. For him, when you have the music and reading together, it...
Dear Lynn, I would like to know the answer to that one myself so if you get any info please share! I have a 7 and a 14 year old that are not at grade level...
