We consider ourselves progressive Christians and instead use secular materials and curriculum and add religious studies that align with our world view. Hope this helps! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. My 11th grader used 3D Animation 1 last year and really enjoyed it. The teacher was great and easy to communicate with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the samples online, thanks! I think putting the reading passage first and giving them context for the words makes more sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great, some really good options here! @MyLife It's always been dry, but we managed to get it done and it seemed effective. I'm finding the less we all like it, the less effective it is. I think we just need something new! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My kids like work books, but loathe WW. It's pretty darn dry... they do enjoy the reading passages, but the comprehension questions just don't appeal to me. I often just ask my own and then we discuss them. This is our 3rd year using them (2nd and 4th) for reference.

I think 6- trait writing from Evan Moor might fit your bill! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking for a literature based American history for my daughters, 8 and 6. It doesn't need to be chronological. We're not a big project family, though a few relevant ones that reinforce what they're learning is fine. I don't see an option to purchase history alone. Does this mean that I should look at MBTP? I can't quite tell from their website either if they use living history books and I'm also not seeing and age 6-8 social studies. Experiences or knowledge with either or another suggestion is very welcome! (We used BKSK History 1 this year and I just couldn't deal with the read alouds not matching up with the history we were learning. Though, most of the their read-alouds were enjoyable.)

I know Bookshark (secular Sonlight) has a world history one year combo of level 3 and 4, you have to call to ask for it on special order. They've had great customer service thus far.

This was my first year homeschooling our daughters ages 6 and 8. We will be taking summer off for the most part, but I hope that they will retain most or some of what we have learned. I'm thinking Xtra math or a MUS lesson once or twice a week for both of them. We read tons of books, so that's not really a concern. Would easy grammar be a good summer workbook for my 8 year old? We use ETC and it's tied into our curriculum, so I don't want to use them until we start our next year. What about for my rising 1st grader? I think I'm just looking for some easy "grab and go" workbook type things for both of them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have :)

It's a hit here too. I usually complete my own version right along with my girls! ;) (8 and 6). We use Grade 1
