Review Detail

We use Abeka and love it! We use Christian Liberty for the first couple years, then Abeka for the rest. I don't like their Bible program (expensive, and I don't like the format). All the rest is super thorough! It reviews every day, or every week and does a great job at drilling the information home, which my kids seem to need. It is heavy on paperwork, but I like that to a point, and once the child has mastered something, I often skip sections of that, like a review in math. The history, in particular, can be dry. When the kids' eyes start to glaze over, I read from the book while the kiddos act out the battles or whatever, or play it out with army men...whatever works. They retain the info so much better that way.
