Here is one family's success story with ABEKA:

My Personal Experience with Abeka:

"I homeschooled our two children using Abeka Curriculum from Kindergarten through the 8th grade. Now they are in high school and are doing quite well. They exempted freshman math and science and are now taking honors English. They are both very prepared for the AP (Advanced Placement) classes at their high school that give college credit. They are making straight A's and both of them are hoping to be engineers so the math skill will play into that well.

My Best Advice Concerning Abeka for Homeschool:

My advice to you is to make sure they do it all that Abeka requires or you may end up with gaps in what they need to know. We all know that Abeka is very challenging, but with organization and perseverance, most students can master the material. Developing good study habits, diligence, determination, and such, are just as important to their success as learning the material."

Abeka K4 Bible Memory

Abeka — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:24:49 +0000

I have always been impressed with the Abeka scripture memory program included in the Abeka curriculum. Besides learning Bible verses, it is great practice for public speaking to require children to stand up and say their verses to an audience, even if its only for Dad. It also gives them a sense of accomplishment in the effort they have put into memorizing.

Making a video of your child saying her verses is a great way to reward your child, since most children love to watch themselves on video. Another plus to making a video is that as your child watching the video of himself saying Bible verses, he is reviewing what he has memorized. A great idea for this is to continually add new video of your child saying memorized verses, or anything else memorized, to a DVD each month. That way, you can end the year with all the memory recitation recorded. This becomes a great tool for review.

The videos show what a four year old girl from Abeka Academy has been able to learn.
