We used Abeka from K-12. In my experience Abeka used Phonics past the grade that you stated and from K-2 students learned to read and from 3rd grade on, they read to learn. Abeka has a really good reading program with lots of Phonics reinforcement. Learning to read was really painless for my kids and they learned how to read easily and still LOVE to read. My vote, Abeka!
We had done Abeka Science and Language Arts for 3rd and 4th last year with the girls. I went to private school and used Abeka k-6th and Bob Jones for 7th-9th. I know it is very rigorous, but we want our kids to be on grade level with their peers and the unit study approach was all over the place. I plan to start at the beginning and work through.
Hi, I'm thinking of using the Abeka curriculum this fall. I need to have my children enrolled in the Academy for various reasons. Does anyone here have their children enrolled in the option#2 Traditional Parent Directed Program? If so, can you tell me how the schedule works? I know it's a...
My dd did abeka spanish in 8th grade and found it very difficult. We aren't around many spanish speaking people so that certainly doesn't help. We are now using Rosetta Stone for spanish and she likes it alot more.
She used the textbook and activity book. I purchased Abeka for her for the upcoming year. The topics of study and book layout just seemed more interesting to me. I also purchased an activity kit from homesciencetools (on-line) that is specific to the Abeka 7th grade curriculum. In terms of cost, BJU seems to be more expensive.
For example if your child will be 4 by say september you'd use K4 or "early kindergarten" or if your child would be 5 by say September then you go with K5 or Kindergarten. did that help? Our church school uses abeka and the K4 program is like a pre-k or early kinder program and K5 is actual kindergarten.
Is it possible that your child would have liked Abeka 2 less than Abeka 1 or K? People seem to think that Abeka is the be-all and end-all of Christian curriculum. However, I have to tell you this little story: I had a student who was with me 5 years from 4th through 8th grades. She was since day one, one level behind in CLE LA, but on-level in reading (her big struggle was math). Then she and ...
My daughter is ready for second grade Math and I have narrowed it down to Horizons and Abeka. She picks up Math concepts easily and is kind of cut and dry- We have friends who use Math U See and it was just not for her. What is your pick?
I am narrowed down to R&S Math or Abeka Math. I feel my 3rd grader could switch into 3rd grade Abeka, but my 4th grader would have to do 3rd grade instead of 4th grade math with Abeka. With R&S, I could probably put my 4th grader into their 4th grade no problem. I am just worried about later down the road when switching to Saxon for higher math.
