[how do u do structured reading ie.history,science]

i noticed on your sig u use hakim;s books how do you weave it with sow

[how do u do structured reading ie.history,science]

so i guess for you supplemental reading will only be used in terms essay and need not be read cover to cover on regular basis. alot SOTW AG supp reading are dry like cornerstones of freedom, heinemann etc.i like assigned historical fiction but may do it by minutes instaed of chapters.

still thinking

thanks again for all your patience

[how do u do structured reading ie.history,science]

when you say SOW assigned reading do you mean the textbook and the SOTW AG the optional skimming is Additional history reading but literature suggestions are what you assign? IN WTM schedule she writes 30-40 min struct redaing wasnt sure what she meant for my 11 year old son.She aslo mentions her mom making her read each week diffrent genres and was confused about that

thanks for your feedback

[how do u do structured reading ie.history,science]

how long does it take for each assigned reading on avg and do you do any other assigned redaing like poetry recommended in WTM

[how do u do structured reading ie.history,science]

the read ings i givehim for historical fiction he doesnt mind but say non fiction book on pioneers(recommend in SOTW AG) i have to ask him to retell it to me otherwise he just skims, also no matter how cool science book i buy like exploding ants if i dont monitor with questions he;ll skim. its drag and im looking for ideas

thanks

[how do u do structured reading ie.history,science]

i mean how coordinate structured redaing your kids do on their own. thier assigned reading?

thanks

mar

 

We do history and science as read-alouds esp. at that age. Some people like to do it at a specific time on the couch. I like to read during breakfast and lunch. It gives the kids something to do with their hands and mouths;) while I'm reading.

[how do u do structured reading ie.history,science]

In WTM she mentions doing structured redaing on top fun reading.

1.history fiction/nonfiction

2.science

3.poetry

i have gr'6 boy how structure it?

Do do history one day, science another

for how long?

my son sometimes resists doing it and skims the bks. How can you prevent that?

thanks

[do you all do outlining/summaries ?esp those of u with boys]

Did you find it difficult to outline from Kingfisher book. How long do outline and summaries take for a 6th grader.

thanks

mariss

 

Yes, absolutely. My 6th grader has done HO2 Middle Ages (I assume you're talking about doing History Odyssey level 2 Ancients with your son next year, not level 1, which is for early elementary students)... He did all of the outlining and summary writing. These are *not* meant to be long projects. In fact, one of the great things I think that ds has been learning is how to read and *quickly* distill the most important pieces of information from longer reference material and assimilate it into a brief summary or organized outline.

 

I would certainly assume that if you're doing a demanding writing program in addition to this, that there would be some overlap between longer writing assignments. I would make an effort to combine assignments or make cuts here and there, in order to avoid redundancy.

[do you do outlining/summaries ? esp w boys]

how long does it take? do you so summaries? did u use SOW 4? and if so did you do research projects. for writing we do creative writing that doesnt involve outlining.

thanks

mar

[do you do outlining/summaries ? esp w boys]

I have son going into gr.6 next yr. We will finally be finishing off SOW series next yr.might supplemnent with HO

1.Do you do or did outlining or summaries that are recommended in WTM guides when you use SOW 4 or HO.

2.Did you do research projects in SOW 4. Up till now history has been stress free in we just use easy tests, mapwork. We do quite rigorous writing curriculum and im worried the outling, summaries and research projects might turn him off

appreciate your feedback

[how many hrs is ok for gr.6 boy?]

i homeschooled my son since birth a la welltrained mind . In gr. 3 become quite beligerent and he choose in gr.4 to go to school. Now he is gr. 5 and has chiled out and really wants to homeschool for gr.6. When i planned out in schedule it looked like 8-3 day with an hour lunch and 2 break 20 or 30 min.He can be a dawdler at times, I have so much im excited to teach but dont want to burn him out. just wanted to know if that was too much school. we dont plan to school year round and will take breaks at same time as school friends.

thank you

[on Worboxes can you put a subject card?]

I was wondering if it was ok on sterelite worbox drawer to have on the left side the number cards and on the right of the sterlite drawer a picture of subject ex. reading(CLIPART OF BOY READING) .its easy for my KiDs to know what is in box and visuually appealing. Also i have small timer card next to SUBJECT CARD so older child doesn't dawdle and has clear timeframe. i havent seen one person do any subject cards next to their numbercards and was wondering if it was ok?

THANKS
