@SaraiDeLaCruz-e9d If you desire to study more history, especially in a chronological fashion, you could certainly add Story of the World to FIAR. Particularly for an older child. FIAR does include social studies activities, but not to the degree or depth Story of the World will cover it.

@@rainbowresource thank you, i was wondering if the social studies would be enough history for the first years or if it was chronological at all. But thanks I will most likely be adding it in starting next year.

@megancarson8254 Thanks for that! We hope that these videos help families find good matches for their students. This level would be a good fit for a student who is reading and writing at grade level or above. This is straight-forward instruction with a lot of review throughout the year; students will be challenged but in a manageable way. The wall charts will provide cues for review. There are 143 lessons, so some wiggle room. The publisher recommends for the first few weeks of school, focusing on just math and language arts. ~ Ruth

@@rainbowresource Thank you for getting back to me!

Our pleasure!

Thanks for watching!

@DawnCurrier Thanks!

We do not have a sample yet for Vamos! and En camino! programs, but there is sample for the original curriculum Breaking the Spanish Barrier on the publisher's website. learn.tobreak.com/books/spanish/beginner/sample/

@CondorsCroft - Great suggestion! We will definitely add more visuals in future videos. Hope you were able to check out the full workshop on our channel!

The online resources would be incomplete without the student book and answer key.

I'm so glad!

You are so welcome!

Us too! We've used them for lots of years and they are awesome!!!!

@Dreblueskies - Thanks so much, it is our pleasure!

We're happy to hear that you have enjoyed using Your Business Math - they are great programs! Thank you for commenting and for checking out this week's C&C video!

I was wondering what books you use for your son who has dyslexia? Just finding out that my 13 yr. old son has signs of it and I'm never sure what to use for science or history. Thanks.

​@@rainbowresourcewhat age are the science comics?

@@momof9 My daughter has pretty severe dyslexia and ADHD. So far we've used Berean Builders and Beautiful Feet Science with Nature. I do all the reading aloud and allow her to narrate what she's learned. She loves art (most kids with dyslexia are creative), so drawing what she's learned along with copywork of what she's dictated that I've written out helps. I also do a lot of hands on experiments, observations, and documentaries.

@@annaleighadams thanks for responding. He's working with a tutor for reading and they're working on phonics and writing sentences. I never realized what it meant to have dyslexia. I do read out loud and he likes drawing. Haven't tried having him draw pictures from what we have read. I think I'm going to try the science comics for him too.

@peach-reina - Thank you for your suggestion, we will look into adding this curriculum to our video production queue.

@@rainbowresource Spelling Lessons Through Literature would be great too! Thank you for noticing my comment 😊

@peachy_reina - Absolutely! Are there any specific questions have regarding these programs?

@@rainbowresource I have been using Logic of English Foundations with my 5 and 7 year olds, but wanted something more to the point. Reading and Spelling Lessons Through Literature send like it could be a good switch, but I'm not sure how user friendly it is. Also, I'm wondering if we would have to start all over with phonograms.

@peachy_reina - If you're needing answers quickly, we have a curriculum consultant team available by phone or online chat. They are a free service we provide to the homeschool community. You can reach them by phone at (888)841-3456 or via online chat on our website www.rainbowresource.com . They will be able to answer you questions about these two programs.

Individuals like you who have done your part in paving the way for the homeschool community, but continue to be a resource and support, are a real treasure. Thank you for all that you do!

According to the publisher, it meets and exceeds current state standards. There will also be STEAM activities. If you have any additional questions, feel free to call (888 841 3456) or chat (www.rainbowresource.com) with a our free curriculum consultant team.

Thanks for much for joining us!

It can be challenging to learn these skills when it doesn't come natural to kiddos. Would you mind sharing a little more information about your daughter and the extent of her challenges? Feel free to email us at consultants@rainbowresource.com - We would love to help you find some useful resources. We have a team of curriculum consultants that are available for free.

Thanks so much!

I think you could still enjoy reading, discussing, and learning from the video lessons and book stories! The activities are geared for a group, but I think parents could modify them for an individual child or small family, and still get valuable practice with important social and emotional skills. :)

@@nancieham5766 thanks so much!

You are welcome, we enjoy having you join us! Thanks for sharing your request for a deep dive. It is such a cool program and it would be great to get more information out there about it. If you have any specific questions about it, you are always welcome to reach out to us by phone (888 841 3456), by chat on our website (www.rainbowresource.com), or by email (consultants@rainbowresource.com). We are happy to answer any questions you have regarding Grammar Castle.

It's great that you mention executive function because when we completed the filming of this episode, we were talking about how we should have discussed that connection.

Our system does help students who struggle with planning and organization/time management! They learn a complete system that helps them organize their study habits within a framework that is easy to remember. We teach students to organize their goals and action plans according to three foundational questions: where am I now, where do I want to be, and how do I get there? We teach them to set goals that then help keep them motivated to stay the course.

@joyiasells4810 - Thanks for joining us!

Please let us know if we can help!

Thanks so much!

That is wonderful to hear!

We were sorry to miss the St. Charles' community this year as well. As we put together our exhibit plan for the year, St. Charles' filled up before we were able to get our registration in. It is great to see all the interest in that convention and we will try to get our registration in earlier next year!

Absolutely! They really are an excellent all-inclusive way to encourage that entrepreneurial spirit.

@amandapatterson9182 - YES! It wasn't originally planned to be taken due to its newness, but because of you asked, we're going to get it on our truck to Cincinnati! We look forward to seeing you there!

@@rainbowresource thank you so much!!! I cant wait to see the 6th-8th grade level. Safe travels!!
