It is so hard! My 8th grade daughter has been asking for some changes this next year as well

I would recommend starting IEW with level A instead of level B unless they are already a strong writer. Level A builds a lot slower. Even if your child is in middle school, I would recommend starting with level A. 😊

Firstly, so nice to see a review for older grades. Secondly, so refreshing to see a realistic work load AND a realistic perspective on some of these subjects. Thank you!!!! I’m overwhelmed with my son starting yr 7 next year, it just seems so big! 😅

Thanks for this informative review!

Sounds like this is an amazing option! It would be great if we had something like this close to us. I think my only-child daughter would benefit with this type of opportunity as well.

I'll have a 6th grader but i like watching videos on these to see all the options there is out there. I'm looking forward to what you've chosen for next year.

This was nice! I have pulled both my boys from public school for specific reasons. This was a great perspective! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to what you have chosen for next year! I really struggled finding math for my boys but finally settled on teaching textbooks for both. We did the free trial and my boys loved it. I have set the settings where the scratch pad is not able to be used and also turned off the option to skip practice problems just because I know my boys 😂! However, I am also a big believer that pen and paper for math is critical! We will print out the harder problems and I'll have them work the problem out on the paper available to print through teaching textbooks. ❤

I just found your channel! It grabbed my attention because I also have an upcoming 8th grade son. Like you, he is homeschooling by himself. (I have three daughters, but they are young adults.). I’d love to hear more on homeschooling just one.

I enjoyed this wrap up! Enjoy the rest of your summer.🌻

💯% Denison Algebra is the best thing to happen to our homeschool! It really is life changing. My seventh grader did Pre Algebra this year got 100 on almost every test. Ended the year with a 99 average! Mr Denison explains everything so well, has fun songs to remember tips on how to solve problems, and is engaging and funny. They watch a video, pause it to work on some problems, Mr Denison goes over it then you do the assignment. The solutions manual has all the answers written out exactly as they should be solved and also have solutions videos. I highly recommend it! My son will be doing Algebra 1 next year, and my daughter is so excited to start pre algebra!

So definitely IEW doesn't work for everyone and that's totally ok but I will say, if I'm understanding you right and this was your first year using it, it's actually super important to start with the first set, year 1 level A. I started my 7th grader on that one based on the recommendations directly from customer service of IEW, and it was the right choice even though I was worried about the "grade levels" they were giving for it. If you don't start at the beginning for IEW, that will definitely be rough. Just an observation - but there's lots more great options out there to choose from.

I agree with you on TGTB. We save those units for co-op or an outside science class.

so glad to see this review! I picked some of the same curriculum for the upcoming year for my soon to be 7th grader. This makes me feel better about my choices!

Very helpful. Thank you!

Hi, with the editing, the underlining of the errors in the incorrect sentence - does it tell the student how to do that? From glancing at this video, and pausing it seems, capital letter errors are double underlined? I see some words with 3 lines underneath. Is this explained how to show errors? Thanks so much,

We are doing this curriculum for 7th grade. Weve never done a formal science. My child has dyslexia so I ordered the audio cd. I foresee it taking us the entire year and then some!

We started IEW Structure and Style in 4th grade with boy of our boys. I would say in listening to you talk about the struggles from this year, it sounds like a heart issue not a curriculum issue. Getting to the root of why he's giving you push back would be key in being successful and having good relationships. You have to do hard things and things you don't enjoy, that's life, having the right attitude is important.

We're doing IEW 1B for my upcoming 9th grader... it's a love-it-or-hate-it curriculum, IMO. My son hated it but is a natural writer. My daughter has ADHD and needs structure, so I think she will do well with it. We shall see.... but she needs to get on a high school writing level, so I'm hopeful.

Thank you for sharing. We haven’t used anything from IEW yet. I was interested to learn and understand more about fix it when you said you can go into the program deeper, I’d love to know what you mean and what’s activities that would entail. How do you use it to the max? I’ve only heard you look for the things to change and then edit and write the sentence below.

Denison math has been life changing for my kids who are old enough! Sounds dramatic but it’s so true.

My oldest just finished 6th grade and we've been using IEW for a few years. We do it every other week otherwise we would have burned out. I think writing a paper every 2 weeks is more than enough.

We used this curriculum this year. It was great! I used it for my 7th grader and 8th grader. My 7th grader is very science minded and did well. My 8th grader is the opposite and not very science-y. But she kept up and still got an A. Yes, it is heavy but they both got very high in standardized science testing. I read the text to them aloud each class which took about 45 min a day, 4 days a week. We also rented the accompanying videos which took an average of 10-15 min a day. If we planned for the experiments ahead of time then an hour per class period was perfect. We also bought a pre-packaged experiment kit from Nature's Workshop which helped us be prepared for the experiments. We ended up skipping Module 14 since it wasn't really relevant to the rest of the book and there was no test. A very thorough and great text which I would recommend! But we like textbooks.

Thank you for sharing the inside!

Hi, just wondering how you found this?

Did you like using this? We are studying Medieval history this year and it looks like it would go perfectly with our history study. 😊

Looks wodnerful. So much information and lovely illustrations! 💗☺️

What a great flip through, thanks for sharing! Keep us updated on what you think of this study!

Is this a 7th grade level? My granddaughter will be in 6th next year but probably spells more like a 2nd or 3rd grader.

Thanks for giving a sneak leak into this book!

Thank you

Is the Zeta for 7 th grade? Are you sure? This is knew to me. Thank you!

Does this cover history at all?

I have 2 emerging 8th graders in the 24/25 school year. I have one boy who has ADHD and absolutely despises writing, LOL. He hates IEW, but we are going through it slowly and I am allowing him to dictate to me or type up all his work, which seems to help. I also have a girl who is almost complete opposite of her brother. School for her is no big deal she gets going and is done fairly quickly with no complaining. They do different math and language arts curriculum, but the rest we do as a family.

thanks currently using ace pace like most of their subjects but not thrilled with the spelling.

Curious to hear what your thoughts are on US Constitution and Government when you guys finish!

Did you complete this unit study and if so, have you put out a review?

Thank you! I enjoyed hearing your tips. 🌻

Best wishes for you and your sweet family! 🥰🥰

I too have an emerging 8th grader and look forward to more videos.

Looks so yummy! 😊

It's fun to see others discuss mid year. We are going to do iew next year with 2 kids and I might do the mastebooks geography one next year with a different pair too. We did the physical science one a couple years ago in co-op and decided it is best for the middle school instead of the lower grades. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing this! Thats what I was looking for ♥ I'm going to order the 6th Edition now!

New subscriber! I haven't posted in a bit either, gonna make a similar update soon for my channel. Nice to meet you.

We do structure and style every other week too. On the off weeks we do an apologetics course. I find that a perfect balance. For math, you might like CTC. I have 7 kids (5 that use ctc) and all of them love it. Short videos and online with the option to print off worksheets.

We also used this art program and LOVED it!!

Thanks for sharing! I’m a new subscriber! I also have a youtube channel about our homeschool journey!

Thanks for sharing and happy holidays!

Thanx!

I have this curriculum. My kids are 4th and 5th grade this year. Do you think this unit study would be too mature for them? Or would you recommend I dive into it?

Perfect review! Definitely need this for my son and love the larger print
