Hi there! I have talked many times about the Abeka language arts curriculum for kindergarten, as well as have shared an in depth flip through of the program. I'm a huge proponent for adjusting and adapting a curriculum to meet the specific needs of your homeschool. Today, I'm sharing how we do a lesson with the basic phonics flashcards (these help review and solidify the special sounds taught), the handbook for reading, the K5 readers and the K5 workbook, Letters and Sounds.

I love how they break up blending words/sounds with those big flash card pages you have in a binder. Abeka is such a solid program. 😍❤️

I love the way abeka simplifies the rules and sounds into repeatable sentences that just seem to stick with you! I just have a Kinder student but I am learning the beauty of “spiral” type learning

I honestly still remember them from when I was in 1st grade. Agree, they stick with you 🤣 spiral learning works really well for us too!

I feel like this was made for me this morning 😂 I am so torn between using Abeka or Sonlight for kinder. I think I am going to use Abeka for the order of the letters so that we can use all the extra materials like the blend ladders and flash cards. Then just add in a few other things

Your video has got me one step closer to abeka( as I have researching a lot on it). However would you say accreditation isn’t necessary for K5, but it is perhaps better for the next level (1st grade)?

So you supplement with TGATB? Or supplement with abeka? I know you do a lot of comparison videos between the 2. Im a new homeschool mom & enjoy your videos. I was contemplating between the 2 & went ahead and got TGATB to try out (preschool) & math K. I have k4 abeka now to start after we finish the preschool next month. we have really enjoyed TGATB though! I already go back and forth on it without trying abeka yet! I have seen so many videos on how solid abeka is. I possibly shouldn’t have started with TGATB, so I wouldn’t have this bias already lol. Picking a curriculum is so hard!! But I’d love to see a video of what you use currently, or if you’re supplementing with certain books?

@thepracticalhomeschooler Жыл бұрын

For kindergarten she used Abeka for LA and no supplements. For math she used TGTB and just did the Abeka worksheets as her supplement

Hi just wondering how long a typical language arts lesson takes you each day? Thanks!

@thepracticalhomeschooler Жыл бұрын

Ooh…This was from last year so I’m trying to remember haha. But everything including the lesson and reading and pages…idk maybe like 30-60 minutes-ish?? We broke it up into section and honestly I never really clocked it to see how long it took…so this is just an estimate. In other words…it didn’t take 5 minutes but it didn’t take 3 hours.

@jennakelly4446 2 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry if this is a silly question but what did these lessons looks like towards the beginning of the year? We just started using Abeka K5 a few weeks ago and the lesson plans are a lot. But obviously we haven't gotten into any of the special sounds yet so I'm trying to think of how we could make our day a little more like yours.

@thepracticalhomeschooler 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly I don’t LOVE the k5 lesson plans. It is a lot (the 1st-3rd grade are much easier in my opinion). I would quickly read over the LA lesson and then choose which sections I wanted to teach and Skip others. Don’t feel the need to do everything! It’s too much!

@@jennakelly4446 hi Jenna! If it helps I've been doing Abeka the past 3 years, this year I have a 1st grader and we are still skipping parts of the lesson plans! Like Lauren, I focus mainly on the blends and Handbook For Reading, and the workbook pages. I don't even own the cards with the photos, but it's okay if you do, because they help a lot, we just like to be minimal. We still manage to hit all the important parts of the Lessons even though we aren't doing all the additional things. Lauren talks on this in another video, "make the curriculum work for you!" I'm honestly sticking with Abeka for Language Arts for as long as I can because it is SO effective and straight forward, and spiral method. I wish you the best of luck with it!

@@GardenMinistry. wow that is very helpful, yes! Thank you for taking the time to help. I really appreciate that. I'll look for that video as well. I definitely am feeling more comfortable making tweaks now that we are a bit more used to it. But it's still only been 6 weeks so all the input is incredibly helpful

My 5 year old does the "look at the picture, guess the word" trick sometimes, instead of sounding it out. lol. I of course notice immediately, b/c the word he says is nowhere near the word he is pointing at. Sometimes, he tries to avoid sounding out words.

Right? It’s so funny when the word they guess is like “hippopotamus” and you’re like…I’m pretty sure they didn’t put that word in a kindergarten reader 😂

Can i use the K5 letters and sounds just on its own with another reading curriculum i am doing?

You could but the way they teach phonics and when it’s taught (like the scope and sequence) probably won’t line up

@thepracticalhomeschooler so I should also get the lesson plans and the teacher key or just the lesson plans? The thing is though I am not wanting to purchase all of the abeka stuff I just wanted that k5 letters and sounds...but do you suggest I get the lesson plans?

@thepracticalhomeschooler or are you saying I should get the phonic cards? My daughter already knows her phonics and the letters what should I get along with this reading curriculum book ?
