[Return to home schooling...]

Ok, are you sitting in my dining room, lol. Your scenario is exactly mine, except my daughter is now in 8th grade; she went to public in 6th. I wish I had some answers.

 

Good luck to you!

[Secular Sonlight?/American History]

I like Moving Beyond the Page for it's secularism.

[Reading based learning?]

Let me see if I can explain this. I feel like I'd like to have a larger emphasis on reading in our homeschool day. We tend to move from one content subject to the next and then finish up for the day. I'd like my kids to read more across all subjects-history,science,literature. Is there something that provides this so that I'm not having to pull it all together. I'd like to read aloud more with my kids too, but I'm really thinking and looking for books they can read on their own. And yes, Christian content is great. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if it was recommended, but Moving Beyond the Page is literature based across all topics. It excludes math. I'm using in for 10-12yrs and the full curriculum west around $850. It's working well, but I find that I need to supplement the grammar and sentence structure parts. Not because it isn't covered,but because I'm not great at explaining it!
