Beautiful Update for Nancy Larson Science!
Update:
This school year we went with a different science program because of finances and changes in our family structure. It has been 7 months since we have used NLS and we are going through withdrawal ;-). My son had a backwards turn in reading comprehension. At first, there was the stagnation. Now, we seem to have shifted gears into reverse. We were doing so well and progressing very nicely with comprehension for the last two years with NLS. Now, he is losing those skills and regressing. It is similar to how the brain dumps information over a long summer break. Well, that is what’s happening to my son. It’s as if he is on a summer break as we use this other science program. Mind you, we are using a reading curriculum—the same reading curriculum that we used over the last couple of years so this variable is constant. I truly believe his decrease in skill is because of our hiatus from NLS. My sweet child is now frustrated with reading and narrations and all of those yucky feelings we had in our days prior to NLS have returned. Oh, what is a mother to do?? This question has left me puzzled for months and my dear child has asked when are we going to return to Mrs. Nancy (as he calls NLS). So you know what, the answer is we are going to return to NLS! There is simply no question about it. I want to see the joy return to my son’s eyes as he narrates and comprehends with success. I want him to feel the butterflies in his tummy as he identifies the main ideas in the student booklets. I *need* my son to feel confident in his academic abilities, so we *need* to return to Nancy Larson Science. So to answer my own question “What is a mother to do,” it’s simple. NLS Level 4, here we come!!! Thanks NLS for helping my once struggling reader to gain confidence and skill in reading and comprehension, including a fantastic and superior understanding of science vocabulary and concepts. He burst through the barriers that once kept him behind in reading and we look forward to vaporizing more of these obstructions. We are amazed by NLS' methodology, focus, scope, and sequence. Yes, NLS is THAT good!
My family highly recommends this program! Check it out!
