Comments: "I have been using BJU Spelling for my 2nd grader. I
love it. A beka Spelling was way too much for us and did not seem to teach
the spelling rules. Every day is something different for the student.
Day 1 is a pre-test to see what words he already knows and then the Spelling
lesson. Day 2 consists of 2 pages in the workbook that can be done
independently. Day 3 is a practice test and study time. Day 4 is
journal day. Day 5 is test day and they also learn about the Latin and
Greek roots of a word found in the Bible. They then are given three verses to
look up and read and discuss. It has been a blessing for us and I was able
to get it used off the Vegsource Board!"

Comments: "I really like the BJU Science program. It has the
hands-on approach, complete with experiments, that I think help children grasp
concepts, but with all the planning and sequencing done. It breaks the subject
matter up into manageable pieces for each week. Several children can work at the
same grade if there is no more than 3-4 years age difference. I also have to say
ditto to Jenn's comments about the BJU Writing and Grammar. I think the A beka
is very heavy on the seatwork and it might overwhelm an unknowing new timer, but
the BJU has just enough material to cover the concepts without overtaxing the
student or teacher."

Comments: "We've used BJU English for about 12 years. The younger
grades have lots of color and neat activities to do. The older grades hit all of
the topics you need for grammar and composition without being too overwhelming
(as we found A bekas was)."
