3rd Grade Homeschool Curriculum Choices ~ Language Arts, Math, Spelling, Vocabulary, Writing & More
Рет қаралды 15,008
Күн бұрынHi Friends! Today I'm sharing what curriculum we will be using next year for my daughter's individual subjects for her third grade year! I'm sharing math, math supplements, language arts, spelling, vocabulary, creative/formal writing, and handwriting. We will use a mix of Abeka, The Good and The Beautiful, BJU Press (a first for us!), and Wordly Wise for her independent subjects. I will share family subjects in a separate video.

Can’t wait to hear your thought on BJU Spelling 3. We use All About Spelling and will do levels 3 & 4 for next year (3rd grade), but we’re also using Evan Moor Building Spelling Skills 3 along with it. But it’s boring black and white. I was thinking of looking into BJU Spelling for the following year. We use BJU for Bible, English and Science. We use Math U See, Gamma next year. And Sonlight for History, Bible and Literature. 😊We’re on level C next year! 🎉

We are somewhat new to homeschooling, we did it in 2020 and then kids when back to school this last year but we are wanting to try it long term now. My question is about abeka, we’ve never used it before, for the language arts, do you need the teachers materials? We’ve done Saxon phonics previously, and I love it because it tells me exactly what to do and say, but it ends at 2nd grade so I don’t know where to go for my 3rd grader.

Yes we’ve used the teacher guides for Abeka LA. I like the 3rd grade one. It tells you exactly what to say too!
@lovebeingamommy9006 2 жыл бұрын
For the TGATB math 3, would you recommend getting Abeka 2 or 3 as a supplement?
@thepracticalhomeschooler 2 жыл бұрын
I think it depends how math minded your kid is. We haven’t done the new math 3 yet, so it’s hard to say. It also depends if you want the Abeka supplement to review what they’ve already learned or be on track of or even a bit ahead of what they’re learning. I’m not sure that was even helpful. For mine, I probably would have done Abeka 3 but at a slow rate
@lindseydsimon 2 жыл бұрын
Do you follow Abeka’s reading lessons plans and use the readers? I think I noticed that the Grammar workbook incorporates some of the reading from the readers. Are the readers necessary? I’m considering Abeka for my daughter’s 3rd grade Language Arts next year, but I have already purchased Sonlight readers.
@thepracticalhomeschooler 2 жыл бұрын
No they aren’t necessary. My oldest didn’t like the readers so I didn’t make her read them. They aren’t used in the workbook. There are book reports and they suggest they be written about one of the readers, but I just let her choose a book she was reading and we did it that way.

How is Abeka Language 3 compared to BJU English 3 when it comes to writing? We've been using abeka since day 1 and it's great especially in grammar area, but I feel it lacks writing. We're in 3rd grade now and thinking of switching to BJU. I'm still contemplating...

You probably mentioned this and I think I know the answer, but wanted to double check. Are you having her go from TGTB level 2 into Abekas level 3? I have a 4th grader in level 2 TGTB that is struggling and Im interested in trying something diff. Was curious if going straight into level 3 abeka would be an ok transition!? Any insight would be awesome :)
@thepracticalhomeschooler 2 жыл бұрын
Yes from level 2 TGTB to Abeka 3rd grade. I think it should be ok because TGTB 2 covers a lot of grammar concepts (more than Abeka 2nd grade). I obviously can’t say for sure how your daughter will enjoy Abeka since I don’t know her but if she wants more straightforward, to the point lessons, Abeka might be good to consider. It’s more traditional. If she likes more Charlotte Mason style, Abeka might not work for her. I have some 3rd grade LA videos on my Abeka playlist and you’ll get a much better idea if it will work for her from those!
