If I wanted to give CW another whirl...

what would you suggest?

 

I have Aesop, the Instructor Guide and Student Workbook B. I tried this years ago with my oldest, but we threw in the towel pretty quickly. Part of the trouble was that the suggestion with an older student was to move quickly through the material, and I could not quite figure out how to do that.

 

I like the idea of using the Older Beginning workbook to zoom through Aesop and Homer. But. I already have these materials so it seems silly not to use them.

 

Would you go ahead and buy the Older Beginner books or resurrect the materials you have? This is for a rising 7th grader.

 

Thanks so much.

Nicole,

 

For a 7th grader? I would be tempted to get the O/B set, but taking it slower would be easier on you (less to figure out and at a slower pace).

Thanks, Heather. That's my inclination, but I wanted to check in with you wise women before I made the plunge. I thought we'd start this summer, and see how it goes.
