I looking for a new curriculum for my 5 year old. We finished The Good and the Beautiful preschool curriculum last year which he did well with, however, TGTB kindergarten seems way too advanced for him (I think because he just turned 5 in May). So now I'm looking at other curriculums which seem too easy for him, being that he already knows his upper and lower case letters and sounds. But I also don't feel like he's ready to jump into learning long and short vowels and 2-3 letter words all in the first week, which TGTB does. Would you have any suggestions in this case?

@@bricehagens7956 I use Ordinary parents guide and skip the letters sound section. It is slow and she recommends doing a lot of rereading. So you can go probably all of K before you introduce long vowels. We do a little of the Ecclectic Readers and hooked on phonics if he gets bored with OPGTR.

@@allisonsmith7360 They say 6-7. I think 8 and up. Since it is a “gifted” curriculum maybe that is 6-7 gifted. But I definitely think if you start in level 1 some of it goes quickly and parts of it will start to go slower, so I think you just go at your kids pace. But with the books to read are more gruesome they are better for older.

I never really feel that a program is complete for me so I always add my own spin. I taught my 4 year old the letter sounds before starting the program and used the pre reader program as a drill to remember the first sound I already taught her. The program is good for making learning the alphabet and sounds fun. So say I didnt teach her the sounds already ,I’d take maybe a week for each letter / lesson and drill the sounds with the letter. Repeatedly go over the poem and letter sound for a week for that letter . And it also is great for teaching your kids to rhyme. I also recommend adding a writing manuscript activity on the side. But I love the program it makes it fun to learn for the kids. I’m gonna reuse it for my 4 other kids so the price is also worth it to me .I taught my oldest daughter the alphabet and their first sounds in order also at like 4 and then she did horizons phonics for k-1st and is a very strong reader already in 2nd grade. So I’d recommend horizons too.

Thank you so much for this review. I was about to place an order and the placement test told me because my daughter doesn’t know how to rhyme and doesn’t know how to separate syllables that we need to be in the pre-reading program. I’m glad I found this video because I was about to make that purchase, but I kept second-guessing myself because I feel as if it will be too slow paced for my child learning all the letters Individually ( meaning upper and lower ) and in order… but going to level one seem to advance? So if my child knows letters by looking at them and their sound. But when asked what letter is heard without looking at the alphabet chart and when you ask her “ what letter in the beginning do you hear when you say PIG” she tell me she doesn’t know. So maybe pre reading will benefit us?? I jusy know my Child will lose her mind taking that long to go over all the letters again since she does know them and knows some of their sounds and will be frustrated when we go over the ones we know, but maybe I can just skip over the ones we know? My girl can only last 15min tops on a subject before getting wild and not being interested anymore. I feel as pre level with all about reading we will never get done but I do love the fact they go over it at a slower pace but idk if that is beneficial to my child if she knows some? So with that said, you mention for ordinary reading, the first lesson starts with “ At, am , an , add “ so does my child need to really “ read “ before this?! Bc my girl is 5 and she is NOT reading nor rhyming. I read aloud to her all the time with all different types of books, poems, rhyming, fairy books, bob book, phonics book, we also have learning dynamics learn to read set off amazon. So do you think my child needs to learn to read before starting ordinary reading? I do want to note we use Miacademy as for fun and they are teaching her to read level a ( beginner) and they are starting off with matching the same sound “ at, cat , that and my girl is picking it up so quickly and it has multiple choice questions they read to her as well as read the question to her that says “ what word sounds like , PIG” A: cat B: dig And she will legit say dig. But she can’t read yet. And can’t identity what sound letter is beginning or end letters. Will ordinary parent guide be beneficial for us do you think or maybe Abeka phonics? I’m just stumped on the three programs. Yours ( ordinary along with the work book from hooked on phonics seems like a great combo so I’m glad you found what is working best for your kiddo !! )

We are in the exact same boat. My son just turned 5 in May. He knows all of his letters and sounds, but he wasn't quite ready to read or rhyme. We used The Good and the Beautiful preschool program, but the kindergarten curriculum seems way too advanced. I've heard that Masterbooks is also very good, but it's difficult to know how to move forward when they are kind of in between these levels. And I don't know about using a book that's just black and white with no pics because my son's personality is that in which he would rather be outside doing stuff all day😏.

I plan on doing MCT for LA next year and I was looking at this for science. Do you think this science is more for older kids? He will be 9 and I didn't know if it would be better to wait another year. Also, now I'm intrigued by the literature comment for MCT. I feel like a lot of curriculum I like that is secular (MCT, MBTP) or christian (Sonlight) assigns too mature books for the age. My kid is an advance reader but im not willing to advance him emotionally when I know he isn't ready.

@ordinaryhomemaking6027 5 ай бұрын

Yes, I get that. What level MCT were you starting? If you are doing the Science with him, it would probably be do able to do science. My son is 12 turning 13 and has done most all of this on his own, so I cannot speak on the level of difficulty for the books, I don't think it would be to emotionally mature. But I will definitely ask him he thoughts. So far I think he has enjoyed most of the books.

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 I am reading the Island books (grammar, sentence, literature, and poetics) right now and giving mini quizzes orally for the rest of the year. I plan to go full town level next school year. I was trying to decide between BF history of science, Sonlight Science D, Berean Builders, or Beast Science 4 if its out. He is 9 so I didn't know if BF's would be better at an older age. He is pretty advanced with science. I like the layout of TGTB's unit science studies but he says they are too easy. He needs advanced concepts but not advanced writing essays if that makes sense.

@ordinaryhomemaking6027 5 ай бұрын

MCT sounds good and the books in that set for reading aren't too emotionally old. Alice and Wonder Land and Wind and the Willows are so good. Peter Pan is good too but a little older. We read these all together instead of the student on their own. Science, sounds like you have lots of good options. I will say if you want experiments, these seem harder to do and we have not done most of them. The good thing about BF is that you can always do it now or later since it can be used for multiple grade levels. Older is probably better if you want him to do it more independently. But it might be better for 10-13. Also, something that you all can do together and do it slowly. There are a couple of essays so far. When my guy was 9, he would have not done them, but did fine on them now. Again you can skip those or wait till he is older. I'm not super familiar but if Sonlight is advanced enough that might be a good option. Looked book based and age appropriate experiments. @@ravenbird3014

At 17:04 you seem to change the burr regulation. You had already set the correct distance before pouring the grains. By re-tightening the space between the burrs, you are going to have the burrs touch each other, and that creates burr damage.

The stones are set inside so that cannot go too close. You can set the inside too tight. I have since changed how tight my stones are since this video. This was when I first got it.

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 I see. It is my perception that the kernel themselves can actually keep the burrs apart - they will work against the inner springs pushing a burr against the other burr.

He says he still likes that it is flexible, but he didn't like having to do essays for it. After the first one he said it was much easier and he just decided to do it. He is currently 1/3 of the way through. It took a little in the beginning to make sure he understood and was completing things, but now he does it pretty independently. There are more experiments than I thought, so lots of experiments is good, but we have ended up skipped a lot of them. We don't have a lot of the items, so he makes a list in the back of his notebook with everything he has skipped and then when we can we will try to do some of them together. The notebook and skipping some of the experiments have allowed him to do mostly of it on his own. I do wish I was doing some of it with him, just because I am curious, but I am glad we have the books, bc my older child will probably read them at some point.

I have heard AAR 1 assumes they have a bit under their belt, so if your kiddo already knows letter sounds and you wanted to use PreReading for a review and play the games to learn the skills like rhyming and segmenting, etc., then that would be a good use of it. IF you could find it used at a good price. Have you used AAR level 1 before? If so did you teach or use anything before it to get them ready?

I think the videos for IEW will just be too long for him 😅 So was thinking I'd just not get the essay portion for MCT..is that possible, like we wont be missing anything between the set if we do?! Sorry, if that question doesn't make sense. I was also looking at BF history of science, but we are doing NG from adam to us for history and Im thinking we might be biting off more than we can chew with reading 😂

@ordinaryhomemaking6027 Жыл бұрын

That does sound like a lot of reading. Depending on how independent he is, he could do some of his reading at bed time or free time during the day. That means we miss out on some of the stories though, which sometimes I miss. :D I've heard good things about NG, but not familiar with it. Would love to hear what you all think. So 1) You can totally skip the essay portion from MCT. 2) I do think the teachers book adds to the lit portion, but you can totally do it without. It might honestly be cheaper to buy the homeschool packet and then just sell the essay part. I would check your numbers and see. 3) My 6th grader did the IEW videos we just broke them up into 2 days. But if you do not want him to do it independently, I have heard great things about the nonvideo lessons, like the Narnia writing portion. I prefer MCT grammar to IEWs grammar, but that may just be me. 4) So yeah, sounds like a lot of reading. Not sure if you are open to breaking things up like doing NG for the first half of the year and BF the second. Or doing it all and letting BF take two school years. Or even a 3 month rotation. Lots of flexibility. I do love that with MCT you do not do all of it all year long. Take a month to finish one and move one to another or even do like poetry as Saturday reading or summer reading together.

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 that’s good to know. Thank you! How much extra work does it take after readings would you say?

You can do it! Are you wanting to make a starter? If so this recipe has worked for me in the past. www.bakewithjack.co.uk/blog-1/2018/6/14/making-your-own-sourdough-starter#:~:text=In%20your%20pot%20mix%20together%2025g%20of%20flour,on%20the%20kitchen%20side%20until%20tomorrow.%20Day%203 I have also had dried starter mailed to me and another time had a local friend share some with me.

Wow I loved this review just like your first two. We are just finishing up level one with plans to go over vocabulary and poetry this summer with my upcoming 6th grader. I know it’s for younger children but honestly, I like how because he’s older, he grasped the concepts much faster and easier than a younger child would. We’re so excited to start level 2 next school year! We also will be incorporating IEW for the first time next year as well just to get some more formal writing concepts. I love how MCT has no true schedule so we can use it at our own pace and like you said, if we skip a day or week, we just pick up where we left off and we don’t feel like we’re “behind.” Looking forward to your future reviews. 😊

Thank you for leaving a comment. Makes me so happy. :D So glad you enjoyed it. I do love the flexibility of MCT. I learn so many things from it, too. Glad your son is enjoying it. That was my older child with MCT. She was half way through 5th grade and started reading the books on her own for fun. She loved it and just flew through it. So much easier with an older child. It has worked well for her with level 3 as well, which was a little less interesting for her younger brother. Which IEW are you doing? I'll be curious your thoughts. I go back and forth between Andrew P's ideas and MCTs. I really like Andrew P. I love listening to him and got to meet him! So wonderful. But I do like the less structure of MCT. I'm still experimenting with the ideas. And it is honestly possible MCT is good for my oldest and IEW for my next bc he likes rules.

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 for IEW, my idea is just to start at the beginning with 1A Structure and Style. I figured that again, even if he’s a tad bit older than intended, the concepts are still the same and he can understand and work through it easier and faster. We’ve never used it before so I’m curious to see how it will work. We use Learning Language Arts Through Literature for our main Language Arts and it’s so fast that I’m not worried about mixing in MCT and IEW. I did notice some hesitation with writing more formally with LLATL so I’m hoping that IEW will clear up that. I learn so much with MCT myself. I swear as a homeschool mom that I didn’t learn or retain anything from my public education. I also have a rising 3rd grade son who has pretty severe dyslexia. We’re finishing level 2 of AAR and he is just grasping reading concepts. We also using LLATL and the two have been a wonderful mix. I plan to add it IEW People and Places in our Community for some formal writing concepts as well. Again, I know it’s intended for K-2nd so my hope is that it will meet him where he’s at academically.
