It is a highly visual "textbook", and though it may not be necessary to have both McCaully and this one, it looks perfect for his age-ability combo.

Specifying a time period will narrow the range of responses. Here are my recs: To Kill a Mockingbird Legend of Sleepy Hollow Walden (nonfiction)

In same boat. Following.

https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/en/?page_id=7 Check this out. Kerbal Space Program game. Real space science is learned by building and testing rockets and more. Fun animated characters make it appealing. It's $40 and for our science-obsessed son it's the best educational game we've come across.

I third Hamilton. Also check out Nathanial Hawthorne's Book of Wonder.

Look into the GEMS series from UC Berkeley. http://lhsgems.org/gemsguidestopic.html They have several Earth science units. I have not yet tried them, but have heard many people recommend them.

This book was very helpful for me: The Right Side of Normal by Cindy Gaddis. It describes how right-brained learners (RBL) differ from sequential learners (the "norm"), in math and other subjects (writing, reading, etc.). Her website has some helpful articles and a resource list as well. www.therightsideofnormal.com

I recommend making the list shorter, even if it takes more time for each task to be completed. My son groans when he sees what he considers to be a too-long list. Or have a master daily work checklist that simply lists the subjects to be covered that day/ session. Then have a (again, short) checklist for each subject, that you *only* bring out when doing that subject.

Shutterbug, thanks for sharing. That looks really interesting, and I'd love to hear how it works when you get started. I have maxed out my HS purchases for the time being, but would love to put it on my wish list if it works well. As always when the times facts are involved, "May the force be with you". ;)

Cereal with milk isn't the worst meal :) That book & the wine (are you red or white?) are your oxygen mask tonight. Breathe (and sip) deeply!

I, too, have been here. 1. Take it easy emotionally on yourself tonight. 2. Read this book: The Right Side of Normal by Cindy Gaddis (www.therightsideofnormal.com). You can begin by reading the articles on her website. Your daughter has a whole different learning style (ADD issue melds with this too), but once you learn the strengths of it (great conceptual understanding, learns a topic deeply in a short, incredibly focused time period [often self-initiated, but must be of interest to the child in any case] and much more), it helps to adjust to the weaknesses (math fact memorization/ recall). I am still in progress with my "gifted yet right-brained learner (RBL)" DS 10, so I can't give any guarantees, but I'd just let her use a fact table for now. Apparently the memorization will come, but for now you may kill her special RBL math talent (conceptual, seeing & understanding patterns deeply, etc.) by having the head butts over them. God knows we've been there, and nothing positive came of it. Speaking for myself, that book, and understanding how differently these kids learn was a godsend. Best wishes.

In my opinion, the classical model isn't 100% applicable for gifted kids. Many of them are at the logic stage at an earlier (often way earlier) age. I'd go ahead. If you force him to remain at the earlier stage he may become bored.

Check out: www.therightsideofnormal.com/resources Her book, The Right Side of Normal, is an excellent resource on what she terms "right-brained learners" (visual-spatial, creative, whole-to-part, etc.).

We like this graphic book: Introducing Stephen Hawking by Zarate & McEvoy. It gives good info. on the human side of science, as well as on his theories.
