My suggestion for IEW writing course is to take it slowly! Like over two years, mix in some creative writing and fun writing like write letters to a pen pal or write a short kids book. My daughter is very creative and used to love to write. We did one year of IEW 1B and she now hates to write. So slow and steady and mix in the fun writing along the way to keep it not so structured and boring
Thank you for this tip! I have a soon to be 4th grader who loves to write creatively and I was thinking of implementing IEW but mixed in not a total deep dive.
That's a great idea!
We're doing IEW and TGTB this year also. I'm doing the Teaching Writing course but I've heard people say you can just watch the videos with your kids because he explains it all.
I loved seeing all those books! How fun! ❤️ Praying y'all have a wonderful school year friend.
That is awesome! Thanks and I hope you have a wonderfull school year also!
I have the Gather Round Growing Up With God. We are planning on doing it this year. I haven’t figured out how long it will take yet. I do really like how she approaches this subject and the different levels.
I really enjoyed this video! I’m in planning mode here too.
We are going to read some of the same books that you have there with the History Literature program we are going to be using. Great selection of books. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thanks and enjoy your year
Growing up with God is GREAT! We did level 1 before moving on to The Talk series. I’d recommend starting there. I’m saving the God’s Design book you have for 6th grade because the topics are heavy, like you said. My son just turned 11.
ok Thats good to hear, Thanks
Lots of great resources! I just bought the teacher’s training videos from IEW to go along with Structure and Style. We started the course when my son was in third grade and are going to finish it this coming year for fifth grade. I think there is a lot more covered in the teacher’s course than is covered if you just watch the Structure and Style videos with your kids. It’s also less time to watch the teacher’s videos than the kids videos every week.
ok that's good to hear, thanks
Thank you for sharing. Have you ever done Sonlight la before?
I haven’t used Not Consumed or the Gather Round. My twins are also going into 5th grade. I’m planning to use the Maturation Unit from TGTB and doing the Good Pictures, Bad Pictures and possibly adding in a couple of the Luke Gilkerson books. I’ve heard that series you weren’t sure about is pretty advanced for the ages recommended. There’s also books I’ve heard recommended called Growing Up God’s Way for girls and Growing Up God’s Way for boys.
My boy twin has dyslexia and is still struggling with reading, so I completely understand the proud mom moments over them reading! Even just when he reads road signs or the back of the cereal box etc. I’m like yes we are going to get there someday. I would love any content surrounding learning disabilities and teaching them tools to help them for life.
Thats great you have twins going into 5th grade. I forgot that TGTB has a Maturation Unit, I'll have to look into that one. It sounds like you have some good choices lined up. Thats interesting you've heard that one series I mentioned is pretty advanced. I'm thinking I might wait on it.
And yay for proud mom moments when a child with dyslexia is reading something because they want to. Any progress is so rewarding! I'd love to create a video around learning disabilities. I'm not sure what, I'll think about it.
I'm loving your videos, especially the Sonlight content! The books look great! Will you have a video of your school selections for your younger kids?
Its coming!
We are doing Sonlight Core D this year. I’m hoping it goes well because the books in Core E look so good too!
I hope so too!
Sorry I can't give any advice about the Gather round books, but regarding IEW, I have taught IEW at our homeschool Co-op and it is an awesome program. It eliminates the problem that a lot of kids have about know what to write about. Its a great program. If you every have any questions, I would be glad to talk to you about it. :)
Thankyou!
I felt the same way about the green God’s Design for Sex book for my ten year old. We just did the yellow book and I’m going to hold off on the next one til sixth grade.
Yea I think I'm going to hold off too.
For IEW Structure and Style, you don’t need the teacher course if you have the teaching videos 👍
OK Thanks!
