    HI , I have had my struggles this year for sure, but after thinking about what I did in the beginning when I first homeschooled our 2 boys, it came to me that I never did a learning style quiz for the rest of the kids as they got older.

    That being said, I did the quiz tonight and well, I have 3 Tactile learners and one Auditory learner. SO, ladies I need some help determining what curriculum will work best. I ordered the Cathy Duffy top Picks. Any suggestions would be great.

    You can still use CM for tactile learners.  Adding blocks, drawing,  etc. during read alouds, and many other tips for wiggly learners.

    If you don’t want CM anymore for history and science,  Konos is unit studies,  but it is a lot of prep work and structured activities.  I prefer to use short CM lessons and let them pretend play about the stories naturally on their own.

    Another history option is Diana Waring’s history.   She includes plans for all types of learners.

    For my tactile dd8, we will try 106 of Creation along with the full Considering God’s Creation curriculum for next year.  I plan to include lots of Moody Science videos and slow it down. After that I have a few video-based science curricula in mind.

    For math, something with manipulatives and short lessons is good.  We are using CTC’s Mathematical Reasoning books and CM math.

    For language arts we use a hodge podge,  including IEW, Washington Reads card games,  CM methods,  and Child 1st spelling and phonics kit.
