Hi Lady Cain. So I don’t have any experience with MB, but I have an Abeka Arithmetic grade 1 Flip through. You can find it on my channel under 1st Grade Playlist. You will be able to see exactly what is taught throughout all of 1st grade. I unfortunately don’t have a flip through of K5 but I do know they recognize, count and write numbers and number concepts 1-100. They memorize addition facts up through the number 10. Identify what numbers come before and after any number 1-100. They understand the largest and smallest number from 1-100. They learn how to do 1 step story problems with addition. They begin to learn about early subtraction. I hope this helps you. 😉

Mindy A Hi. I have heard that other moms have skipped K5 and went straight into 1st with their kiddos. Abeka is know to be, about a grade ahead. I have flip through videos of the books from the first grade curriculum on my channel. It is under 1st grade playlist. The videos literally show you inside each book. That may help you determine if she is ready for the 1st grade. I hope this helps. 😉

Hi Logan Hill. If you start at 8 you can be done around 12-1. If your child is focused and doesn’t play around. ☺️

Hi Lyss. Yes you keep everything except the dvds

Hi Loredana! Wow, quads you’re a “real” supermom. 💕 My best advice would be to talk to one of the reps at Abeka. I’m not sure what the best option would be for you. It depends on a lot of factors. If you are doing the academy or parent led. Things like that. They may be able to figure out a way to save money for you. With the subjects per day, you may want to look up the laws in your state for their rules. I hope this helps! 🤗

Hi! Are you planning to do parent led? If you are, you can totally tailor it to fit your kiddo. Also, I wouldn’t stress about your kiddo being behind. That’s the beauty of homeschooling, you can make a curriculum fit your kiddos level and not the other way around. 😉💖 Prayers for you on your new adventure.

Aracely Cervantes Hi! Are you planning on teaching the 2 at the same time? If yes than all you would just need a 2nd set of consumables. If you are teaching one now and one next year, and are planning to teach with the videos, then I would say, you will want to purchase the kit again. It will end up costing you more to buy or pretty close to the same for all the consumables and the rental of the dvds.

Hi Regina. Most subjects have a student book, student test book, and teacher keys for both. If you purchase a full curriculum package then it will have all subject daily guides within it and all of the information on how to grade.

Hi Denise Johnson. The Letter and Sounds is a work book with seatwork and classwork. They also have a language workbook. Now I am not s professional, but they have a book called, “ Handbook for Reading”. That book is awesome for teaching phonic sounds. That book is used for 1st-3rd grade. And I wasn’t aware of their History. I haven’t noticed anything yet. But I will definitely keep my eyes open. Can you recommend a good History Book?

Hi Denise Johnson. And YES, my house is in order!

Oh my goodness I meant to mention that the Handbook for Reading goes hand in hand with what the kids are learning in the Letters and Sounds and the language workbooks. If you feel like he would do better with the 1st Grade Reading I would just stick with that until he gets more comfortable with reading. Hopefully I was helpful 😊 Have a blessed weekend!

Yes, you can purchase Full Curriculum kits for both grade. They include everything. I’m out right now, but when I get home I can send you the name of each kit of that helps.

Yes, that would be very helpful whenever it's convenient for you, I would appreciate that :)

No problem! 😉 I will let you know.

Lyss, were you Looking into getting Preschool, K5, and 3rd grade? Or K5 and 3rd grade. Also did you want to do Video Led or Parent Led?

@@simplyhomeschool18 I'm wanting to buy the accredited version with the DVDs, work books and parent manuals for k5 and 3rd not sure what the exact term would be
