Sorry I can't help you there. We only have a 3 year old and haven't gotten to the adolescent years yet.

BTW he can already read and will be 4 in February. We haven't been using anything specific yet, just started reading stories and teaching him his alphabet and letting him sound out the words using the letters. He's been doing this for about 8 months now.

They are like little sponges, aren't they? Like they are taking everything in, processing it, and waiting for the time they can speak English well enough to say/ do it. Amazing. Have fun homeschooling. It was a dream job, to me/ to us. We took the money we would have had to pay for tuition (Los Angeles schools are less than adequate) and traveled off-season to SEE history/ etc.

Roman ruins/ Roman walls/ English and UK historical sites/ the Holy Land/ Germany/ DDay beaches -- we saw them all. Homeschool gives you the flexibility to just go -- well, to only have one schedule to untangle. And you can travel when there are few other travelers, schools are not in session, etc. I would do it again in a minute.
