It's amazing how much they learn and how quickly. It's really delayed learning, focusing on their ability to memorize over the drudgery of writing (till 4th grade when they reccomend beginning writing). I can't tell you how much my kids have loved it and more so HOW MUCH THEY"VE LEARNED! Seriously I look at these rings o' facts and I can't believe we actually know all of that history, science, math, grammar, etc for life now!<BR/><BR/>I mean we have a timeline of 160 events memorized! And it took about 20 minutes a day, all together, mostly done while in the car or cooking dinner, etc.<BR/><BR/>It sparked an interest in so many things for the kids, I just pulled a book or two for them and they read read read because it set off a natural curiosity. You don't have to join a group...<BR/><BR/>The down side, of course, is that it's a Christian curriculum, but you could pull the cards that didn't fit for you...there aren't actually many - I mean it's basic facts....<BR/><BR/>You can ask me more if you want, all the car and activities just seem like they'd lend themselves to that sort of learning (and with Cam's small motors writing skills not "caught up" with his learning abilities, to me that's the real gold in it...Lia learned exactly what Matt and Lexi did just as well, oral/memory levels the playing field)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328625869028861536noreply@blogger.com
