Are you getting any of these used? You'll be able to find LOW prices on several of those if you buy an older edition used (Elements, Warriner, Spielvogel).

Lisa Yes, I found great deals on them all including teacher's manuals for Elements in the same edition. Very exciting!

Jenn in CA Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 How You Know You're a Homeschool Mom, #17: You buy curriculum with your birthday money. Love it! I totally do it too. Have fun. It looks to me like you have a great list already. My big splurge would be a DVD series, like Lost Tools of Writing, or IEW, or even a Teaching Company series.

angela in ohio Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Great list; I'd add: The Trivium (if you don't already have it from logic) Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student (I think this is recommended in WTM, too) The Art of Styling Sentences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaT Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Two resources I don't see mentioned for rhetoric level that have been valuable to me: Heros of the City of Man - for teaching ancient lit Brightest Heaven of Invention - for teaching Shakespeare (Christian resource if that matters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks for your ideas. After reading replies, catalogs & my TQ manuals I added a few more: Well Educated Mind SWB Ancient, Medieval Lively Art of Writing Elements of Style A New Oxford Guide to Writing A Rulebook for Arguments Warriner Elements of Language Sixth Course Perrine's Literautre w/manual Spielvogel Western Civilization Study is Hard Work, Armstrong plus: Saving Leonardo and Total Truth Nancy Pearcey Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling Teens, Debra Bell Seven Men who Ruled the World from the Grave, Dave Reese Postmodern Times, Gene Edward Veith History Through the Eyes of Faith, Ronald Wells A Handbook to Literature, Hugh Holman How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas Foster I found most of these used for good prices, but I received a lot of Amazon cards! That should keep me busy for a while!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
