Anyone take Abeka Academy curriculum for homeschooling and been accepted to a college other than PCC?

I am in high school right now and am homeschooling with Abeka Academy curriculum . I was wondering if anyone has been accepted in a college besides Pensacola Christian College? If so, please give what college you were accepted by and what you majored in. Thanks



Hey! I loved using Abeka. I think it helped me out sooo much.


I'm a senior in high school right now and I'm accepted into many schools. Hardvard, Princeton, Yale, Cambridge and etc. You know, schools are actually trying to recruit homeschoolers because they know what kind work dilligence they have. I plan to major in Psychology and PCC doesn't offer that.




Abeka curriculum is accredited in the state of Florida. You should have no issues getting into any college if u r doing the DVD option. of course this is dependent on your transcripts




I have loads of friends who home schooled with Abeka and are now enrolled in University of Toledo, which is a pretty decent school in Ohio.

I need some advice for homeschooling a dyslexic child?

My child was diagnosed with ADD. The public schools actually told me they could not teach her and kept pushing higher doses of medication. Since we've been homeschooling things have vastly improved but we've reached a wall. Some simple things seem to never reach grade level or cannot be grasped despite repetition and various instruction attempts. Looking for an answer I discovered that her ADD symptoms are also Dyslexia symptoms. In fact my whole family has these symptoms and they more closely follow the model for dyslexia than they do ADD. We may have been treating the wrong disorder all along. This so explains why certain teaching methods did not work for teachers or for me. My question is: What now? We are looking into more definite diagnosis. Even the public schools in Kentucky refuse to test for dyslexia and do not view it as a learning disorder. We're already using Time4learning, Spelling City, Brain pop etc to help her bypass some of her issues, but how do we address them?





Thanks in advance for any and all constructive help. Those of you who remember me know we don't have alot of support in our educational endeavors.



www.linguisystems.com has a lot of great material for dyslexia. We use their products often. They have a book called "The Source for Dyslexia" - one of the best books I've EVER read. It really helped me out a lot.





Math U See was the best math program we found for my daughter. It seemed to work well with her dyslexia.




Check around for books addressing the link between add and nutrition. Watch out for sites pushing a particular product, but look for more general research on diet, vitamins, amino acids, etc. Drop me a line for other suggestions along those lines.




Sounds like some backward school system, not being able to read correctly seems like a learning disorder to me.


Can't help alot with learning strategies unfortuantly.




here's a tip I learned when I used to tutor a dyslexic person in school... Use red film (like a clear red report cover) over whatever they're reading.


The person I tutored said that this helped them see the words regular...


something about tricking the part of your brain that responds to written text... If not red try other colors because it may be different for others.





Just lay it over say a text book and just move it over....


now for the adhd part try letting your child study like the girl in legally blonde movie.... movement probably helps it stick...





also if they have physical dyslexica say volleyball/baseball for example have them stand on your feet and move their arms exactly how they need to go for muscle memory





Hope this helps

UK question re CRB checks?

Do I need a CRB check when providing a course for children to do with their parents by correspondence...or with the parents checking the work.





The children are over 8 and under 18.





I will not be teaching the children myself only have provided the work. The course is complementary medicine and botany





Thanks



Very unlikely.


CRB helpline is 0870 90 90 844




Yes, you will probably need to be CRB checked. You may not be in the physical proximity of these children but you will have access to the details where they live & what school they attend - you will have access to data about children that others would consider extremely valuable & you'll also need to ensure that you keep it secured, make sure you keep it in a lockable drawer & away from 'public' areas in your house/work place.





Use the number one of the other posters has provided to find out what you need to do.




i know you need an enhanced check if you are training or coming in contact with children or vulnerable adults. i suppose it depends whether in any part of your role you will have contact, if you do i guess you would need to go thought the crb route

A beka K5 curriculum?

What are some good websites to find new/used a beka books or curriculum sales. I live in the S.C. lowcountry, And would like to go to some local conventions etc.



My favorite place to look for books online (Abeka) is www.homeschoolclassifieds.com. I've found a lot there and the prices are usually pretty good.





Hope you find what you are looking for. I have a 4 year old, so I can't give up my K5 stuff yet! :)

eBay.





And if you can get to one of your state's homeschool conventions (usually in the spring sometime) you can usually find some used curriculum materials.

any legitimate online school is going to need some kind of proof of what you've done, and if it's any good it's probably going to charge as well.
