I have been preparing for when T comes out of school. I wanted mainly Maths and English sussed first, I think I've just about sorted English.
Some he will be able to work independantly ie, Galore Park, Writing Strands, and the Spelling Book, with me just then testing the spellings. FFL3, will be done along side myself as it requires parent/teacher participation. Finally with Story Starters, this will not be done every week, but as and when needed.
Writing Strands is something I'm keen for him to do, with him still in school, I may add FFL3 to that, but I'll see.
Now to sort out the Maths

First Language Lessons - English
The latest buzz at the moment on SHE is First language lessons by Jessie Wise from The Well Trained Mind
I already had First languages Lessons (FLL) 1-2, but at the time A wasn't ready for it, and she showed no interest at all.
A has had this week ill off school, so I decided to start FLL 1-2 with her, she has done really well, she has had to memorise a poem by Cristina G. Rossetti, called The Caterpilillar and I have to say she learnt it pretty quickly. She has also been asking any adult about if they know what a Noun is. Then she will proceed to tell them, A Noun is a Person, Place, Thing, or Idea. This is only 3 lessons in! As a parent or teacher you have to play an active role in teaching it, but the lessons are scripted out, which makes it incredibly easy. There is 2 years worth of lessons in FFL 1-2
I've just bought FLL level 3 for T,
along with the workbook that goes with it
They are huge books, and I feel they are value for money, as I will be able to use both books with the other children, the workbook is consumable, but after looking at it, I think I can adapt it easily enough for the excersixes to be to in a notebook, while viewing the workbook. There is a years worth of lessons in this book.
I've enjoyed this week with A at home, I feel I've had a taste for HE again and it's a nice feeling to have.

If you go to peacehillpress.com This gives you the blurb about First Language Lessons level 1-2, it also gives you sample pages, the link is just below the authors name (Jessie Wise). There is the list of contents, and the first 8 lessons listed, plus a couple of later lessons.
