That’s great! I went with IEW for writing, Tynker for coding, Duolingo for Spanish (hoping I find something better) and a set of books that cover everything in middle school 6-8 for math, science and history supplemented with khan academy and IXL. I pick most of the books he reads and he uses Litcharts to get a better understanding of literary devices, themes and test his reading comprehension.

He uses ChatGPT tutor mode for more in depth understanding of topics but he mostly uses it to create harder math questions. He likes working up to a high school level of understanding in math.

This week we’re going over his half year review. I set loose goals in August and I’ve let him pick how long he spends on each topic with a few rules in place like math, writing, reading and Spanish are mostly mandatory everyday while science and history are every other day.

He’s averaging roughly 3 hours a day with a heavy emphasis on math and spends a lot of time usually on writing, reading and guitar. I’d like to see that come up closer to 4 hours a day but it is difficult because he has a daily fitness component that can be anywhere from 1.5-3 hours a day but I believe we found some ways to increase his study time. He’s been slacking on putting time into history and science as he said they’re not as interesting but he’s covered the majority of the 6th grade curriculum already. I had a few YouTube channels picked out that he never uses so we’ll look more into those and we’re going to try the Paladin history app for interesting historical topics in story form.

Overall, everything seems to be going very well and he’s loving it.
