Y6 resources

[MyKitchenRules]

Hi my asd y6 child is struggling badly. He moved to current school in y4 and has made progress but y6 has been so difficult. School are lovely and supportive but I know he isn't happy. I legally know I can homeschool. It's just the overwhelming online schools. I would be happy following a free programme just to keep him up to speed. Any recommendations? Oak tree? Or I've seen one for 15/per month.

Most of the people I know use different resources for the different subjects. You might find a provider whose maths programme suits your child well but then do a different curriculum for science, for example. You don't have to hit the ground running. You can take your son out of school immediately and let him have some time to play and learn informally while you look for resources. Then start experimenting. It will take a while to figure out what suits him, and you may need to try a number of approaches, but that is fine. You have plenty of time. This isn't like school, where you have to "keep up" or be left behind.

Some parents like me just do learning through daily life. For example, my kids learned about maths by spending money, measuring up for DIY projects, sewing, calculating how to get enough points to go up a level in their video game etc. I used to read books aloud to my eldest child on every subject you can imagine, just whatever they wanted to know about. We watch documentaries more now, since my younger child prefers to learn in that way. My older one is now thriving at university, having had plenty of practice already at directing their own learning while young.

Possibly IXL. It is a paid for service.
Or you could look at free things like BBC Bitesize but not so clearly laid out by year.
Most homeschool curriculums are American. Many do use American ones with no issues. Some use workbooks or online like IXL.
For English, I personally like literacy planet best if we are talking about online resources.
For maths, rightstart is American but does a British version, placement test on their website. Great reputation but ££. Or the good and the Beautiful do a free download you can print (or buy physical copy). It is Christian but from what I understand pretty minimal in the maths. There is a placement test on the website.

What other subjects did you want to do? Story of the world for History could work, there are co-ordinating activity and test books should you want either/ both. Think if you get the activity book that covers geography.
Science - You could get Science kits, or there are Science subscription boxes you can get in the post. Or CGP have a year 6 Science bundle which are UK workbooks.

Are you happy to use American curriculum? Secular?
There's moving beyond the page. There's book shark too, another secular curriculum that covers that age. Brave writer. The well trained mind do grammar and writing programs (classical). Math u see. Saxon grammar and writing. Saxon math. The charter school version of memoria press. Lots of others too depending on what you're looking for but those are the first that come to mind at half 5 in the morning.

If christain you can look into Abeka, Memeoria Press, Sonlight, my fathers world, Bju press.

Thank you. I will start looking at these ideas. I don't mind American sites

We use the Good and the Beautiful for English and Maths - it American and totally free up to around secondary level

The Language arts is a bit Christian but we are atheists and find it easy to amend or skip the religious stuff. The maths is fine.

Twinkl is really good for home ed - it's about £70 a year and they have whole units and lesson plans with some videos and live lessons.
