I really want to get them to learn best without spoon feeding them 40 ground lessons.

I'd give them a choice, whichever way they think they'd learn best. Give them a few suggestions as far as videos go. But also give them the option of teaching one on one, independent study (APH, PHAK, FAR/AIM) with review before each lesson, etc.

Its the more difficult way, but I prefer the independent study option. It takes a bit of leg work on your part, but you use the PTS as an outline on what to study. What you'll have to do is start on page one of the PTS, say they're talking about steep turns. Find all of the portions of the APH, PHAK, FAR/AIM, whatever other textbooks you're using, and make that assigned reading. Have them show up for the lesson, start by asking if they have any questions on the homework. Then ask them a few questions to make sure they learned it correctly...preferably tie it into the lesson you're about to go fly. Make sure they're at least to the understanding portion of what you're about to go do, otherwise the lesson will be a waste of time.

This method is a lot more complicated than just handing them a sleeve of DVDs and saying "good luck" but it will pay off down the road. If a student stumbles on a checkride but can whip out any of the FAA publications and go *bam, its right there* it will certainly help. Also, if they have an intimate knowledge of these pubs at a PPL level, it will help them greatly if they decide to become a CFI later on down the road.
