Does anyone know of a curriculum or source for learning and teaching Braille reading?

Welcome! Texas is a great PLACE to homeschool and Tapestry of Grace is a great WAY to homeschool.

Enjoy the journey!

I hope others will chime in here too, but I will give a first go at answering your questions.

The Loom is on a disk with print version and is a download with the DE version I believe.

We seriously considered Sonlight as well, but knew even if we used it in the early years ToG was where we would end up. My husband suggested we just start with ToG and learn to use it while the kids...

I meant to say it is a great FIT for our family. http://tapestryofgrace.groupee.net/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Hi Kirstin! Welcome to Tapestry of Grace. We are also in Central Texas. It is great to see a second-generation homeschooler!

We have been homeschooling for 6 years and just completed our 4th...

I am curious to hear others' experience using My Audio School with their children, specifically for those with dyslexia. I am considering subscribing to it for my 10-year-old.

She is very...

Thanks Carol! I will look for it. We haven't done anything online other than Netflix with the PS3. I don't even know how to use most of its features! The boys love Lego Indiana Jones which is the...

Carol,

I didn't know there was a video game. Is it for PS3? We were just given the PS3 and have only two games for it. What ages is it best for?

We are finishing up Year 2 and studying the Revolutionary War right now. I found "Liberty's Kids" on Netflix and downloaded it. (We have a PS3 and are able to do instant download.)

There are 40...

My 9-year-old is a strong reader and can easily handle the UG books on her own. (We are in Year 2.) I end up reading a lot aloud for the benefit of my 10-year-old who is dyslexic but I have no...

I want to second that. I really like Spelling Power. It gives us the flexibility we need - do as little or as much as can be mananged each day. It also allows an individualized approach which was...

I am in a similar situation - oldest has dyslexia and I have to read everything aloud. If you don't have any other LG students I would put both in UG. I read aloud the UG books this past year to my...

I know it looks different in every home. Nobody does ToG alike so hopefully lots of people will reply to your questions. Here is my 2 cents worth.

I have two girls in UG and a son in LG, and a...

Tracy, I read your respone and thought, "That is my daughter exactly!" She just turned 10 and is in 4th grade. She is definitely the dramatic one and has dyslexia so frustration with reading is a...

The Gallery is under each unit of each year plan. Click on the year you want, then on the unit you want, and then you have the choices of subjects like history, literature, etc... Gallery will be...

I think most ToG users will agree that Spelling Power and Easy Grammar are the way to go. I have used the Easy Grammar books for years (as a tutor first and then homeschooling my own) and really...

We use Math U See and have been very pleased with it. I have taught 4 years of the program (Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Algebra 2). The videos are not exciting or anything but are well done in terms...

I loved FLL and used it in 1st and second grade. Then we started the Easy Grammar books. I felt like FLL laid a very solid foundation. It was easy, took just a few minutes, and my children really...

Welcome! My older two were 5 and 6 when we started ToG and I had 3 year old and a 3 month old at the time. We spread year 1 out over 2 years taking plenty of time to enjoy the crafts projects...

Thanks for the suggestions. The Rocket Phonics program looks very interesting. I think my 5 year old might be dyslexic as well. I would love to know if anyone else has used this program with a...

My Writing Aids hasn't arrived yet and I don't know what a Ladder Diagram is. I need to teach it this week if possible. Can anyone explain this for me or point me toward an example?

Thanks!

I have a very slow reader as well. She just turned 9 but reads on about a 1st grade level. I have wondered about dyslexia. She also has very neat handwriting IF she takes her time and goes slowly. ...

Thank you Scott. We really appreciate your input.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply. We have passed these responses off to our attorney and we will see what she can come up with. We...

Thanks, that is a great suggestion. We will see if that satisfies the lawyers. http://tapestryofgrace.groupee.net/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
