I think Word Ladders is a fun add-on but I don’t think it’s a full vocabulary curriculum. We had planned to do Word Wisdom a couple of years ago but my kids both chose Vocabulary Workshop instead so this will be our first year to actually use WW. I did make a video awhile back doing a flip through of Word Wisdom if that helps: Word Wisdom Grade 5 | Homeschool Vocabulary Curriculum | Flip-Through ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aJDFCbOEz9k.html
Great choices!! Sounds like it’ll be a great year for him!! Question for you- What writing do you plan to do after Writing and Rhetoric? I bought book 1 after hearing amazing reviews and then didn’t do it because I heard it wasn’t secular. My son still needed more help with spelling, but I was thinking of starting W&R1 since I own it, but I was worried that only doing one level of something and then jumping to something else would be confusing? What has your experience been?
Thank you! My daughter really enjoyed W&R when she did it and didn't have any problem transitioning. She is doing Structure & Style now. That is what I will have my son do next year if he's ready. If not I will do more Writing Revolution until then.
Do you remember Fandex Kids they re” Science Cards). It brought memories for me growing up ). I couldn't believe they went up $16.00 up from way back ⬅️ my jaw dropping hearing they cost $20.00 i didn't expect to get them for $2.00 nobody could find the price tag on them). I was given $2.00 as a genius discount at Tractor Supply this past week ). I recommend get them sec hand). I can't wait to use them when i have homeschooling kids myself one day my boyfriend & i were talking about them! The set i have is bugs! I have a set is flowers 🌸 someone at church gave me that set!. Being autstict & dyslexia, Science 🔬 is tough on me). So is geography for me apparently. Kids Crash course has Science videos. Thought might be great resources for ur son)!.
I do. I will often do the Monday lesson with her just to make sure she understands. The rest of the week she does in her own and then I just check it afterwards.
