B is 13 and in middle school (roughly 7th grade next year)

I'm also looking at NOEO science Physics 3 and Saxon math Dive DVDs.

He is a very delayed reader and unmotivated to work. Much of the reading will either be with me at his side of me readin aloud.

Does AWOA have integrated LA lessons? MFW has a seperate LA curriculum but it's multi grade level.

I don't know? - Elaine - 5:32:23 PM on 04/05/2012
I would say look at sample lessons of both and see which one - FLBunny - 4:00:09 PM on 04/05/2012

Well how much energy does it require, because I don't even have the energy that YOU have! LOL [NT] - Tiata - 1:36:01 PM on 04/05/2012

I tried AWOA once for a short period of time. - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 11:05:34 AM on 04/05/2012

Hm... I am planning on enrolling B in a middle school writing class, so that may be too much [NT] - Tiata - 1:36:55 PM on 04/05/2012

You can omit the writing in AWOA..... - Elaine - 2:00:32 PM on 04/05/2012
