I love the workbook for the sole fact it is engaging, but not too much writing for my dysgraphic child. Also, the questions are exactly on point of what I was looking for. My son has ADHD too and having a guided follow up discussion is so important to ensure he understood what was read. Plus, it doesn’t hurt this does go perfectly with BYL & TL.

Interesting point about “twaddle” around 4:45. I had to Google that 🤣 Sounds like the perfect way to describe TGTB reading selections. So lofty and light-hearted, that the child is not being given the opportunity to have deeper internal dialogue. I truly believe children have greater capacity to learn lessons & formulate their own perspectives by reading “heavier” stories and not preventing them from the “bad.” I firmly believe kids need small doses of “reality” even at young ages (within their age range). By presenting them with a pre-chosen set of books that are heavily sugar-coated, they have no chance to bite into something with meatier substance, and their cognitive abilities to discern the world around them can be stunted. Hope that make sense - it does to me 😊

Totally agree with you about our personal response towards literature. I was looking at this program and Mosdos Press when planning our current 4th grade year. I ended up choosing Mosdos and am truly enjoying it. I will definitely check Hewitt out again for next year since I have a grammar program and writing program separately (Fix it Grammar and Essentials in Writing). Do you feel that Hewitt covers grammar and writing well so far? Are you supplementing grammar or writing? Best of luck in your year as well.
@ProjectHappyHome 5 жыл бұрын
I think Hewitt does a great job with grammar and composition. Right now I’m also using THTB Level 3 but we may drop that soon. We use Explode the Code as well just to practice spelling/phonics. We tend to hunt and peck thru various workbooks to get extra practice on our weak spots. I have to check out Mosdos! Tell me more!
@jengillespie5114 5 жыл бұрын
I think it's definitely one you should check out. I am a secular homeschooler too. I purchased the student workbook, teacher guide, and test cd. I like the background information provided for the stories in the teacher guide as well as the critical thinking questions, applying and relating the lessons learned into our personal lives. It is all short stories , not novels, however. There is poetry too. I have a book basket for my son. He is reading novels on his own (currently reading Treasure Island), and we do guided reading with Mosdos. He is an advanced but quick reader, and I want to make sure he is thinking deeply about what he reads. Thanks for the great review on Hewitt Literature. This is my first year with Mosdos and I'll definitely keep Hewitt in mind for next year.

Project Happy Home I think Charlie is hiding in my 18yo son’s closet. I’ve been after him to spend just 15 minutes a day on cleaning out his very large closet. Now that he has his first job, he’s asking me where he should store his shirts and pants so they stay nice for work. 🙄 He’s been capable of putting away his own clothes since he was about six. 😂 Parenting adults is HARD I’m finding. He can conquer the world, yet he’s my little boy that needs mommy. I predict Charlie will be found this fall. Dad is teaching him how to set himself up for success by laying out his clothes the night before, and keeping track of his own things so his Steak ‘n Shake uniform is always clean and ready for the next shift. I’m so proud of him overall. He has Asberger’s and they don’t know it at work. I’m just so proud! ❤️❤️❤️

Can you please show us this curriculum or any of the Lightning Literature lesson with the child. I would love to see it in action. I would also love to see how the writing an essay or paper is approached. Is it split up into days, is it on top of the lesson, ect. Thanks for your reviews they have been very helpful. Our kiddo attend public schools but with this virus we are planning a Plan B if they send kids back in the Fall. We have an immune compromised child and also a child with epilepsy so the virtual learning isn't ideal for our learners either. Thanks again!!! You are the Best.

I appreciate the love! I don’t generally film lessons because I find it messes with our flow, but I will consider it. The essay/composition part is split into chunks of work over several days - sometimes a week or more. And most day include a reading, grammar, and writing component. I have been so pleased with this curriculum! We do, however, supplement the grammar with additional resources from Evan-Moor for some extra practice.

Are you planning to use this curriculum for next year? Loving your channel! It'll be my first year homeschooling and I'll have a 4th grader and very much like your picks and philosphy. Thank you!

I don’t think it’s very advanced - but that will depend on your child. G9 is very strong in language arts and reading, but this isn’t designed for only advanced students. I have purchased the grade 1 level for my 6 year old, and I plan to use it next year to bridge her 1st/2nd grade year. I did not use it previously and I feel like my son slid right into the curriculum without any trouble. We will be using Grade 4 for him next year. We’ve loved it!

Thank you for this extensive flip-through. I admit that I am a curriculum research addict! How much would not using the composition affect what this curriculum has to offer? Also, do you see an issue with reading the literature in a different order or are the lessons cumulative?

The grammar lessons that are tied to each of the books are cumulative, so I would recommend doing the books in order. Substituting a different writing program doesn't impact the curriculum at all.

@ProjectHappyHome 2 жыл бұрын
Honestly, I don't think it's the best program for writing. I think it is an exceptional program for poetry analysis, literary analysis, and grammar, but the composition portion is lacking in explicit instruction. We have had great success with IEW Structure and Style 1A (in 5th grade) and Writing with Skill Level 1 (in 6th grade) for sharpening my son's writing skills.

I am really interested in trying out this curriculum next year, but am torn on the appropriate level for my 4th grader. His reading is well above level, however he is a reluctant writer has never done sentence diagramming. Any advice? Do you think it would be easier to add to level 3 or take away from level 4 as needed? I have watched both of your reviews on these so many times, haha. TIA!
@ProjectHappyHome 3 жыл бұрын
In all honesty, the composition component of this curriculum is the weakest part. I’d use the grade level appropriate to his read level and supplement with another writing program in a lower level, like IEW or Writing with Ease. For example, while my son is an excellent creative writer, his essay skills needed work, so this year we used LL5 and IEW’s SSSA. We did a few composition assignments from LL, but mainly we used it for just reading comp, poetry, and grammar.

Last year was a hodgepodge because we moved twice - once into interrim housing and then out of state. So we used the library for literature and used great booklists for a guide, incorporating Bravewriter style copywork and grammar pullouts from those books. We also went though Language Smarts from the Critical Thinking Co, but I wasn’t a fan. And Explode the Code Book 4 - always good!

No, not yet. We are integrating it with the other curricula for now, but as my son’s work at his cottage school increases, we will re-evaluate. My son is particularly gifted and quick with language arts, so he flies through the exercises. As for incorporating both Torchlight and BYL - plus Lightning Lit - I am planning to continue over 50ish weeks. We will be homeschooling year-round this year, with random vacation weeks throughout. We use BYL/TL mainly as literature/history frames, and this as our grammar/writing frame. I don’t do everything in any one curriculum, though we’ve been doing everything in this one so far.

The problem we have with these types of programs is that my kids FLY through books and don’t want to sit on a book for several weeks. It seems like a nice curriculum, I think my kids would get irritated at the pace. It seems like a lot of work to try and condense down if we wanted to go through it too quickly though

I think you can still get a lot out of this curriculum if you let them read at their pace and simply do the worksheets at their pace as well. The sheets don’t HAVE to coincide with the books - it’s just nice to learn grammar with actual sentences and ideas relevant to their reading. We do these books as Read-Alouds, ans my kids do their faster reading with our library books and the Build Your Library list. 😊

We may just try it. All the books on their lists are my favorites ❤️
