Hi All,
I need help-trying to work on our curriculum for next year - 3rd grade!! I have a 7 year old son (December birthday) who is currently what I call 2nd grade level. I don't think he is above or below "grade" level.
Our current day is BYL 2, LOE Book C (which he doesn't like) - so I switched to ETC Book 2, HWOT and McRuffy Math Grade 2. (As a side note, I am trying to do one lesson a week of LOE because I have both C & D.) He is reading but not picking up a book on his own type of reading. He loves read alouds!! I am fearful of venturing too far from BYL because I love her book lists....but am intrigued by Beautiful Feet and Trail Guide to Learning.
I am trying to figure out what to do for next year - grammar, spelling, and writing. Spelling is not clicking with him yet (considering Apples & Pears or Spellwell). We have not done much writing except copywork. I am leaning towards CLE Grammar and Bravewriter Arrows (that match up with BYL books) or Writing Tales. BUT I like the thought of MCT Island. I am wearing myself out thinking about this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Stacy
