Wonderful video!!! I love Memoria Press Christian studies too. I think if he likes telling stories and you want a gentle introduction to writing you would enjoy Writing with Ease! I am using Level 2 with my 9 year old and we both love how gentle it is and how it holds you by the hand step by step. Next year I am using Memoria Press' Introduction to Composition which focuses heavily on Reading Stories and making Outlines. After that I hope to start the Progymnasmata with Classical Composition by Memoria Press. We use Logic of English and absolutely love it. We have used it from the begining and I am so glad because I also think my son has Dislexia and ADHD. We are in Essentials A now. I highly recommend it.
Your videos are soooo helpful. My kiddo was diagnosed with a neuropsych in McKinney last time we were in the US. Your descriptions and choices are so similar to my experience with my kiddo.
I absolutely loved BJU English 3 for my newly 9 year old dyslexic son. We skipped some of the writing projects, which are every other chapter. The writing projects are writing a rhyming poem, a paragraph, an opinion essay, a book review, a research paper, a friendly letter, etc. But I felt much like you, that writing too soon is not good for struggling readers. So we picked the ones we felt we could do comfortably and left the rest. (My son is lining up with where your son is at, almost exactly, in AAR and AAS.) Check out BJU English for your son. They introduce each concept a chapter at a time, starting with subject and predicates, the 4 types of sentences, and punctuation of each. So nouns is a whole chapter, and every thing with nouns like common or proper nouns, capitalizing proper nouns, identifying nouns in a sentence, etc. Funny enough, I didn’t learn that BJU English is great for dyslexic students until we were almost finished with level 3, but I whole heartedly agree that it is! I have purchased BJU English 4 and it is very similar, just expanding more on the level 3 concepts. I have no knowledge of Logic of English. But if you do try it, I’d really like to see a review, please. As far as having them create stories orally, that is exactly what Brave Writer’s Jot it Down is all about. We have done the same with our son, letting him dictate and me write out his creations. They are some of the best stories, and I’m so glad we have been able to capture them on paper. There is no way he could have written half of those stories, if he had to do the writing himself. This year, I purchased Building Writers C and D by Handwriting without Tears. We are also continuing with the Brave Writer, using the Partnership Writing projects. I’m hoping to gently ease our son into some writing this year.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Melissa. I have thought about Brave Writer for years and thanks for the info on BJU! I hope you have a great homeschool year!! 😊
I love your counselors' perspective on picking curriculum! Evan Moor writing has worked wonders for my rising writer. We switch with Daily Writing Traits and Real World Writing and I do use it over a two year time period as well. We are trying Logic of English and it is very similar to All About Learning Products. Its is also a writing portion as well that is similar to IEW Structure and Style. Looking forward to hearing about the testing process.
Thank you and thanks for the info on Logic of English. Did you finish AAR L4 and then move over to it? If so, what level of LOE did you start on? Thanks again!
@@homeschoolculture We used AAR up to level 2 and switched to LOE because she could read well. She needed more phonemes awareness and help with spelling. She dislike AAS but enjoyed the online teacher and games with LOE. We started at level A and go at her pace. I chose the online very because it was the least expensive route for us to test out. For reference she is a 4/5th grader. I have seen many improvement in her spelling since starting it in March. Science Mama (YT) just did a very informative video on LOE. Also, start looking for the used LOE soon because they are hard to find which is why I chose online 😔.
My son liked the hardy boys clues books, mercy watson, young cam Jensen, tales from maple ridge, imagination station, and the greetings from somewhere series. Maybe your son would like some of those as well.
I’m interested in your review of getting your child officially tested and what you think the pro and cons of that would be. I know my son is dyslexic but he hasn’t been officially tested. We are on level 2 of all About Reading and he’s in 4th grade now. We only started level 1 last year.
Looks like so many great resources! I’m interested in the memoria press christian studies and the golden children’s bible that you use with it. Would you be able to share more on these resources? Thanks!

Sounds like you’re out of the country. Praying for safe travels along your journey. Where are you living?
@@homeschoolculture We work in Papua, Indonesia as missionaries, so we're only back in the USA every few years.
@@papuakacie that’s great. I will keep you in my prayers.

So interesting how you do year round homeschooling, I think that is definitely better for kids so information sticks!
And it helps this momma keep to a routine. Thanks for watching. 😊
A good science that we have enjoyed is Berean Builders Sciences by Jay Wile. Its hands on and an experiment every lesson. My boys enjoy it!
Thank you for sharing! I will have to check it out. 😊

@@fab5bailey369 thank you!!! 😊
Would be interested in seeing a look-through of the outline book. Loved the video!
Will do! Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing what you use!
You’re welcome 😊

Thank you for the suggestions! 😊
I have a son who loves engineering and those scribble books are great!
Oh good! Thanks for sharing. 😊
I lost your prepping channel.
UA-cam has kept me from finding you
I decided to delete the channel.
Could I see the table of Contents for All About Reading and All About Spelling?
I have already sold the AAR but they should have it online. Sorry for the late reply.

I will definitely make a video discussing it all. 😊
Thanks for the video❤ I really wonder how th oulining curriculum has been going.
We haven’t started it. He’s just not ready. I plan on using it towards the last 12 weeks, but I will definitely do a review.
