• Apr. 10, 2008 - Queen language arts
I was looking for reviews about the Queen LA products and your blog came up. I'm looking for something that won't require as much of my time. We've been using Abeka and it is just too much. The kids hate it. (they are rising 11th, 9th, & 6th grades.) We just adopted 2 teenagers from Ukraine who speak very little English and I'm spread a little thin right now. I'd like for them to have a LA program that they can use (almost) independantly. Do you have any opinions you'd like to share? The Queen's aren't coming to our fair, but hopefully someone who carries their products will be there.
You can email me at wackofive@comcast.net
Thanks so much!
