We tried, but didn't work

One of things that we tried but eventually had to drop was Kumon. I love the philosophy and our center's teacher was wonderful with ds. BUT the work was too demanding, requiring a lot of attention nor matter how we divided it up. After a year we decided that the fighting wasn't worth it and discontinued it. I told dh that I could do something similar to Kumon that ds would enjoy more. So now we do "homework". In a simple composition book, I write down a few math problems and some type of language arts activity. He definitely approaches it more positively than he ever did Kumon, especially when the "homework" is more of a game than work. The book I love to use games from is Games for Learning by Peggy Kaye. Not only does it cover a wide range of issues to address by using games and but also tells you which grade you can use the game/activity for (K-3). I might revisit Kumon once ds is older.
