Introduce Yourself

Welcome to the Sonlighter's Group. I am Robin E., both here and on the Sonlight forums, and have been using Sonlight curriculum since 2002. I have used Cores P3/4, P4/5, K, 1, 2, 3, and am a little over half way through Core 4. I have also used SL Language Arts levels K, 1, 2 Regular, 2 Advanced, 3, and am using portions of 4. I have 5 children, ages 12, 9.5, 6, 4, and 2.

Permalink Reply by Merry on September 13, 2009 at 3:54pm: Well, last year my 10 yo did Level 2 & 10 lessons of 3, and my 12 yo did Level 2 and about 3/4 of Level 3, so I think you can get pretty far. Both also reviewed some level 1 concepts in that time.

I haven't exactly "deliberately" slowed down my youngest, but I let her do shorter lessons (which means she can't progress as quickly--just as well, her attention span for it is shorter anyway). Also I see that she'll need more time on a concept and I let it spread out, or I take breaks and do more review--so I think just naturally because of their age differences, the older one is likely to go faster.

I think a level a year is a good goal, just don't slow down so much that your 6 yo gets bored. But by the end of level 6, they will be spelling on a highschool level, so that rate sounds pretty good.

I hear you on all the different spelling programs! (AAS came out in 2006 btw) Merry :-); ▶ Reply to This

Motivation

I would like your suggestion to my daughter Suzanna Christy who is studying First standard in an English Medium School. She needs some motivation to read lessons on her own. What are the methods? Kindly suggest some methods. Thank you. MBJ Pancras
