Reading:

Reading Eggs online program as their main program

Diana Kraft books and cards for the right brain kids. Those were the first books my older child was able to read.

Child 1st publications cards, books, and material for reading and spelling - I credit them for turning my right-brained child from a struggling non-reader to a confident independent reader in one year.

Nessy online program for reading and spelling as an aid (it is targeted for dyslexic kids, but it works wonderfully with other kids too)

 

Math:

Mathseeds online program as their main program (comes with reading eggs)

 

Science:

Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding

Generation Genius videos

 

Social studies:

For history, we used the Usborne Encyclopedia to map a list of topics and outline the timeline. Then added field trips, museums, and themed parties supplementing with books, movies, and videos.

We've spent many long slow days in the museums when you can read all the notes, push all the buttons, and climb everything you are allowed to climb.

For geography, we developed topics as we encounter them in our everyday life. Plus, we keep a map on our dining table and look for the places mentioned in the books or movies we watch, learning about the countries our friends are from. I have a degree in international relations, so I teach on the go.
