My advice is to not buy the whole program. Start with 2-3 paces per subject. If you don't like it, you are not stuck with the whole lot.
It was a hard program for us and found ACE and Landmark Freedom Baptist much easier. I do not like english in any of the above mentioned. I recomend Easy Grammar.

Hi Michelle,

Welcome to our forums! :wave: I second Mary Helen's advice about buying just a few to try out. I've heard various opinions about LifePacs - that they're great for students with attention difficulties/learning disabilities because material is presented in short bites, but they can be dull, uninspiring, and lacking at the high school level. These are just bits and pieces I've heard over the years, so don't bet the farm on my comments. However, do give them a trial run before you buy the whole hog - just in case they don't meet your needs.

Warmly,
Dianna
