Hi Friends,
I am working with a boy who does not enjoy reading. He has TBI and probably dyslexia. He does enjoy math and science. His mom wants him to use a text book for high school science but the ones I know of have a ton of reading.

Do you have any idea on how I can adapt science so he can learn and mom is satisfied? I think she would give up on the text book idea if I could present her with an academically strong curriculum.

Thanks!

4h curriculum is very focused on "learning by doing". They have high school level projects for soil and water conservation, forestry, weather, plus others.
Another thought would be boy scout merit badges for science topics.

I haven't used it myself, but I have heard good things about this company: The Rainbow and Spectrum science

Thanks ladies for taking the time to reply.
I hadn't thought of the 4-H projects.
Lindsay, I totally forgot about the Spectrum science. You had suggested that to me before. I looked at it then and thought it looked great. I will pass on all the suggestions.

Another idea might be to check out and use Boy Scout merit badge booklets on a variety of science topics. This won't work if he is too young (under 11 or so), but there are quite a few topics covered. Also, if you check out merit badge.org, there are often helpful links for material covered by a specific merit badge booklet.

In Christ,

I caved this year for science and decided to purchase Supercharged Science's eScience. In the past we've done textbooks, living books, and I've pulled-together science programs, but science is not my forte.

We've had eScience for about a month, and we've already done 5-6 experiments from the site. There is not as much reading as other programs, but it has topics for kids ages K-12. I have all four of my kids (grades 2,3,5, and 9) enrolled.

It was pricey ($500 sale to enroll my whole family for the year), but I can already tell this is going to be a great year for science for us!

I am excited that it has quizzes, etc., already composed for me to print out and give to my high schooler.
