i just wanted to give a little review of kid 2020 math facts: it was a shot in the dark type of purchase... am still not sure that i love it but my dd seems to be attracted to it. i wanted a ybcr type of approach to math. my dd loves numbers and loves the LM program but sometimes it just doesn't hold her attention. i wanted to show her a fun way of learning.
the production is a little odd... like it's done in someone's basement. there are a few aesthetic things that drive me a little batty (it's the design background in me) and the songs are slightly adult cringe worthy. however, like i said, my dd seems to be attracted to it calling it 'math show'. shrug... what can i do? it's too early to say if she is absorbing any of it. i have started a little watching schedule like ybcr making each chapter (counting by 1's, 2's, 3's etc) a 2 week adventure. can't hurt is what i'm thinking.
have read (on this forum) good things about their sight words video but i think like what others have said is that LR/LM can do pretty much everything that you want, these videos just give you a little bit of silliness (good or bad) to help along with the process.
if anyone has good suggestions on math programs i am up for hearing about them!!
