  4. Does anyone have any recommendations for curriculum teaching this as an elective? I realize that this might be more on a high school level, but would love to find something I could adapt for a rising 7th grader. So far I've run into Practical Graphic Design and In the Hands of a Child. Any others out there, even titles of public school books?
  5. I've got the phonogram part down, but I'd like to also use the writing and grammar part, but find myself not sure what to do without re-reading over the whole book pretty much. I'd like somone's daily list of things to do that is pretty meaty. Something that covers all Language Art areas, what to do and how long to do it. I could sit down and schedule I suppose, just sounds like too much work! I only know that it won't get done the right way or at all if I simply pull the book off the shelf and open it randomly after drilling the phonogram cards. I like the script, but dont know when to use what when. Maybe someone has a schedule from when they used it and what they accomplished each day? Here's an example of what I'd want it to look like... Day 1 Drill 70 phonogram orally, student writes them 15 min Began cursive letter o and a, 10 min Grammar- Action verbs pg 99 linking verbs pg 99-100, 20 min Writing lesson prewriting pg 109 Spelling began section R, words catch-chalk, marked sounds, used in sentences orally, went over rules used in words Reading- went over expressive reading pg 131, child read aloud Rabbit Hill for 20 min, discussed story, title, author A schedule like this could take a lot of my time if I made it myself, but hey, maybe that's what I need to do...
  6. Just wondering if anyone has made their own schedule for this program or has found one they like and would like to share. I'd like one that says what to do and what page number to go to for each day. I dont care what grade or level you have, I can adapt it to my needs. Thanks!
  7. So, I guess you knew I would ask this question....Is it ok then, to just read for history and maybe discuss once in a while? I don't to make him do outlining(in history), map work and questions that force you to go back to the boring original text to find the answer? Is it really possible to just let him enjoy these good books in history and thrtow in some good literature based on the time period he's reading about for good measure? I'd love to use Beautiful Feet, TOG, Sonlight, etc, but I feel like it's just a reading list and we read and that's it. I worry that if it's enough or not and then assign too much other "stuff" to make sure I've covered all my bases. I'd like to feel like we can check it off the list quicker, but I guess that doesn't make it necessarily done.
  8. I know I can, but I'm just hoping I'm doing enough and preparing him properly for high school. I'll have to look at Veritas Press again, I know they have lots of good lit picks, guides and cards. Last year, we read all these great books, well actually he did, but he didn't have any written work to show for it. I guess that's what I'm worried about. Ive also eyed up Sonlight Core 100, but didn't feel I could afford to buy it. Maybe I could snag a used guide and get all the books at the library? Thanks for getting the wheels turning back in my head again:)
  9. I found this list of books to be helpful... www.simplycharlottemason.com Under modern times free planning guide
  10. I am looking for a history program that focuses on the modern times-1850 to the present day. I'd like for it to go deep and have literature either woven in, or I can supplement it myself as we go through it. I need a spine that is challenging enough but I don't think we are ready for high school literature just yet. Ive been looking at Beautiful Feet's Us and World history, but its recommended for junior and senior high school, although the books look age appropriate. We have been reading history through good books the last two years, but I struggle with just letting him read and having nothing to show for it, like no tests, quizzes, questions, etc. I need something tangible for him to do while reading these good books! He did score in the 70 something percentile for history stuff on the SAT, so he's doing ok, but I don't to be shortchanging him. Ive also looked at going the textbook route, but all seem to cover 1500's and go up to present in a broad sweep through. I look at these texts and say "Blah" and toss them aside every time i pick them up. My brain wanders off thinking about how much he's enjoyed reading George Washington's World, Abraham Lincoln's World, and Joy Hakim books this past year, and the good lit books that went with it like Johnny Tremain. Any suggestions? I'm not brave enough to do as the well trained mind has suggested and just grab a Encyclopedia spine. The oulining and timeline stuff I'm afraid just wouldn't get done. I need something for independant study as I have a fourth and second grader as well. Story of the World 4 seems too light....but yet too hard for the youngers...I just can seem to hit it right! Any help would be appreciated!
  11. I'm looking to switch from Zaner Bloser to Rod and Staff Penmanship because I like how all the letters in cursive start in the base line. I also second the recommendation on reading the Writing Road to Reading no matter what program you use.
