How We MODG: Reading

1st

I think my biggest struggle has been marrying my kids reading levels to the reading recommendations in the syllabi.  And when they didn’t match up and I read everything aloud, and I didn’t reassign new reading.  And when I did assign alternative reading, it wasn’t for long enough each day.  So, here’s where I’ve ended [...]

Recitation (shhhhh, Catechism) Printables

1st

    I have been asked for these a lot, so here they are!  If someone with authority complains, I’ll have to take them down.  They contain all the poems we use for K-4th (there are a few added and removed from the MODG list, sorry!), the catechism questions (some adapted), dates, states and capitals, [...]

MODG Flashcard Program and Uploads

3rd

  I discovered the most WONDERFUL tool the other day.  ANKI flashcard program!  You can upload all your kid’s history, geography, math facts, and catechism.  The program automatically times when new cards are introduced and when old cards are reviewed.  For my independent reader, it’s fabulous!  And even for my struggling reader, as long as [...]

Daily Copywork Printable

3rd

  One of the adjustments I make to the MODG syllabii is to NOT recopy retellings.  I type retellings and stick them on an illustration. So, what do I do for handwriting?  Well for 1st and 2nd, I use the Sound Beginnings tasks and just use half a sheet of primary paper a day. But [...]

English From the Roots Up Resources

3rd

English from the Roots Up is a great program.  However, for my visual-spatial learner, it’s a little on the colorless-side.  These cards are not meant to replace the originals.  I don’t include any information about whether it’s Latin or Greek, and I don’t have all the example words using the root.  These are just so [...]

Images for Knecht Child’s Bible History

3rd

My favorite resource site has moved the notebooking pages I use for Knecht.  So I’m attempting to do my own. Here are the images for the chapters in Knecht that I already have:   CH 1-6, CH 7-12, CH 13-15, CH 17-20 I don’t know if I’ll continue to do this, but for now, I’m pasting them into the [...]

Berquist Syllabi Resources and Notes: Third Grade

3rd

*This post will not make sense unless you print out the corresponding booklist in the side bar. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:  At this level of classical learning, there’s going to be more memory work.  Do yourself a favor and split the memory work from the book work.  Have a “circle time” at the beginning and get all [...]

American History Books According to Difficulty

2nd

  In my school, the supplementary reading for a given time period is OFTEN way above the reading level of my child.  (Laura’s children must have been reading super-stars!) So, unless I want to spend hours a day reading aloud, and then assign separate reading practice, I have to substitute books on my child’s reading [...]
