Practical H. asked:Michell Kirk Tackett asked, "I would love suggestions for science, math, reading, language arts, and history curriculum for a 3rd grader who has been diagnosed with dyslexia and dyscalculia. She currently reads on about a first-grade level. "She is extremely creative...to the point where she almost can not resist drawing, coloring, or underlining on her worksheets. "I'm thinking that hands-on, computer based, and audio subjects may be best. "Any suggestions are appreciated!"

Hip M. asked:Can anyone make suggestions for this mom? My 4th grade son is a decent speller but words don't seem to "stick". We are using Spelling Power but he really doesn't like it and honestly I'm tired of arguing with him about it. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good spelling/language arts curriculum that's more fun and less monotonous? We do MFW for the rest of our schoolwork. Thanks for the help!
Kelli B. replied:Spelling Power has great word lists, but it lacks the practice exercises of a spelling workbook. Sounds like your child needs more "velcro" to make the words stick. It may come w/some extra practicing of the words--You could try requiring your child to do "X" activities each week at www.spellingcity.com or you could switch to a workbook. We like Spelling Workout, but I've read lots of great stuff about All about Spelling, as well. Specialists who teach right brain learning methods advocate using color and pictures literally on the words (decorating them so they are more memorable). You can read more about this at diannecraft.org (see her workshop handouts or get some of her wkshops from CHAP 2012 conference $4 ea)

"Our traditional approach isn't working and we need suggestions. Something for a kinesthetic learner. "We have toyed with the idea of unschooling and Konos (Konos doesn't do the three Rs, though). He doesn't like the Classical approach. It loses his interest.

Practical H. asked:Anonymous asked, "Has anyone asked for an IEP [Individualized Education Plan, typically used for special-needs students] who was still allowed to homeschool? "I am with a charter school. The charter school hinted that if I request an IEP they will probably drop me, because the IEP will recommend public school and once that is recommended they can't keep me. "I don't know if they are saying it so I won't formally ask, or if it's true. So has anyone ever requested an IEP and still homeschooled? Through a charter school? "I am in California, if that matters. Thanks."Penny T. replied:HewittHomescholling.org or .com has a special needs catalog and they also work with IEPs Also DianneCraft.org teaches you how to identify the child's learning problems and how to solve or by pass the problems with her right brain teaching methods, her brain therapy manual and nutrition. She has videos and articles on her website that may help you she was a special ed resource room teacher after she homeschooled her son and she shows you what she did in the resource room to get two years growth in reading , three years growth in spelling. how to get them from writing one sentence and one paragraph to four page papers in a year (using the smart kids who hate to write and the right brain writing video) Dianne is a consultant for HSLDA and the Denver public schools and she teaches graduate level continuing education credits for teachers & nurses. And she is a speaker at the homeschool conferences

Practical H. asked:Kim asked, "I pulled my two children out of public school last February. My son, who is 12, had straight A's, but now that he has been home, it seems like just because it's mom and not a teacher, he has gotten lazy. His handwriting was beautiful; now he is sloppy with it. He could care less about his school work and puts hardly any effort. "I asked him if he wants to go back to PS and he cries and says no. "I don't know how to get the drive back in him like he had in school. "We do Saxon Math, Apología for Science, LLATL, Mystery of History. He has an A average for Math, but all his other stuff goes in one ear and out the other and he doesn't seem like he retains anything.. "I am.so ready to put him back in public school…..any suggestions?"Penny T. replied:teaching the right brainchild dvd by DianneCraft.org. It is teaching and study methods that put the information you are studying into long term memory. One tip is to make a movie in your head of what you are studying and think of the movie when it is time to answer questions. many other life changing tips in that dvd including the spelling method that gives your child a photographic memory for spelling in a year like the spelling bee winners do and math too.

Practical H. asked:Cathie Silver Price asked, "I have a 10th grader who is 16. He has Aspergers syndrome and dyslexia. We also suspect he has dysgraphia. We have been struggling to get him to find a good solid program that works for him. "This year is going horribly. We have grounded him from all electronics, because he is behind in one of his two co-op classes. "I am looking at Time4learning, but not sure where to start him. I know he is behind because of his learning disabilities. But I don't want to start too far back, so it is too easy, either. I was looking at their 8th-grade program for him. "Anyone have experience with using Time4learning with a special-needs child?"
