Adisyn and Eli have been supplementing their regular homeschool lessons with the Complete Home Learning Suite from Essential Skills Advantage. The online classes available include from ESA include reading, language & grammar, math, science, and geography.
For this review, we received an online subscription to Complete Home Learning Suite Adisyn and Eli for one year. Both kids have access to the complete program.
The Reading portion is set up as complete curriculum for Kindergarten through Third grade. Fourth through Sixth grade is divided into two portions: Vocabulary Builder and Reading Comprehension. Adisyn has been using the Reading Comprehension for 6th grade. Below is a screen shot from one of the reading comprehension lessons. 
Language & Grammar for the Kindergarten level focuses on phonics. First grade and Second grade are divided into three portions: Fun with Spelling, Phonics, and Spelling Stumpers. Fun with Spelling, Grammar, Creative Writing, Writing Fundamentals, and Spelling Stumpers are the topics for Third and Fourth grades. Fifth grade features Spell Master, Spelling Stumpers, Grammar Writing, and Writing Fundamentals. Spelling Stumpers, Spell Master and Grammar are the three topics covered in Sixth grade.
Adisyn has really enjoyed Spelling Stumpers. There are different lists available and then 24 activities that correlate with each list. The first screen shot shows where she has completed the 14 activities for Lists 1 & 2. In this photo, she has not yet started List 3. The second screen shot shows one of the activities associated with Spelling Stumpers.
Like the other subjects, Math is divided into grade levels. For Kindergarten through second grade the math is considered a complete math course. Beginning in third grade, there is a complete math course and a problem solving portion. Fourth grade is set up with three portions, problem solving, math operations and number concepts. Math operations and number concepts make up fifth grade and sixth grade. Adisyn has also enjoyed the sixth grade math with ESA.
Eli said that his favorite portion of ESA was the Science. Science is divided by grade level. It is available for Kindergarten through Third grade. The science portion is then broken down into three genres: Physical, Earth & Space and Life Science.
Students can also learn geography in the fourth through sixth grades. In all three grades, the lessons focus on Map and Globe Skills, World Geography, American Geography and Canadian Geography.
The students learn basic terms that are used when reading a map or globe. They also identify different types of maps, as shown in the screen shot below. 
Both kids have enjoyed working through various areas of the Complete Home Learning Suite from Essential Skills Advantage. I like that I can move them around so that they can do the grade level they need for each subject. For instance, they can work in one grade level for one subject and then work at a different grade level for a different subject. All the grade levels for all subjects are available for each student. This helps if they need extra practice in one subject but then they can move ahead quickly when they are ready to.
