This was extremely helpful. I am starting K4 with my daughter next year and I’ve been digging through RU-vid videos for a thorough flip through and organizing video. So thank you thank you thank you!!
I hold pre school loosely as well!!! I don’t use teacher manuals for that age but I was a pre school teacher!!! We just let my 4 year old copy letters when she wants to on a whiteboard!!! This looks awesome!!!
So excited. We bought the K4 Abeka curriculum. Then I saw the logic of English so I was torn. We ended up with Abeka. I love your videos. Your channel is one of my go to channels for curriculum. So thank you so much.😊😊
Before I stayed home and homeschooled, my daughter went to a Christian Day School. They used ABeka K4 and she LOVED it! She was very prepared for Kindergarten which Is when I started homeschooling. I am really thinking of using it with my little guy, but that’ll be a few years. Can’t wait to hear how the twins like their “school!”
We skipped k4. My kinder is 4.5 and we had done the Abeka preschool for 2s and the 3s so she was definitely ready to move straight into k5. However, I would have rather done Abeka k4 last year instead of the curriculum that I went with where I had to find/put a lot of additional resources together to make it a full program. If there had been a video like yours covering what was in k4, I absolutely would have gone with it. This was great
Thank you. I am considering homeschooling my now four-year-old daughter who is on the autism spectrum as I’m not certain she will be able to go to our Christian school in the fall and I’m not willing to send her to our public school. We have a few more months to decide, but I’m trying to get ready. Thank you for this.
Love this - I’m hoping to send my twins to preschool this September but we are having potty training issues so K4 is my backup plan! I’m doing K5 with my daughter this fall as well so hoping it can all flow together if it comes to that!
Thank you so much for this video! It was super helpful. I am currently doing the Abeka 3-year-old preschool program with my twins who are 3 and also my next child who is 2 (She's 13 months younger than the twins, but super bright and wants to do everything like her big sister and brother.) I am looking to move to Abeka K4 with all three children when we finish 3yo preschool. As long as they are able, I will keep all 3 working on the same level as it makes it so much easier for me timewise. I had been searching for videos but most of the Abeka reviews, etc. are all the about using Abeka academy rather than parent led. Your video had the info I was looking for. Thank you for showing how the teacher's manual works. Since I'm in Australia I can't go amywhere to look at any of the Abeka curriculum and materials unless I buy it and then that's expensive if I end up not liking it. Also great to see another mum of twins using the Abeka parent led program😁. Did you just get one set of readers to use between both or one set each?
I’m torn between k4 and k5. My son is currently in preschool, will be 5 in December. Can’t decide if I should skip straight to k5 or do k4? He seems to struggle a bit more with letter and number recognition. I feel he may benefit from staring at k4?
I would probably say K4 would be a perfect fit. Personally, I think Abeka is about a grade year ahead ... all of my kids are on the level below their grade and doing amazing!
Yes, we are just taking it slow and not worrying too much about it ... it does help that I have done K5, so I know how much review there is at the beginning. My plan is to just do as much as we can of K4, but if they stop progressing, I won't push them! Love Abeka + Sonlight!
Are the phonics charts and games instructions in the actual package of games, or are they in the teacher’s book? I was just thinking of buying just the games (and some of the flashcards) because I’m not doing the full program (I just wanted them more for supplementary games).
Hi! I am really happy with the program! Although, I don't hold to it too tightly, because I know that a lot of it will be covered again in K5 ... so that helps me really follow my kids lead :)
