LNC Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Choose one as your schedule/spine and then add extra readers from the other programs. I've done my attempts at combining enough years to know it doesn't go well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtotkbb Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 We combined WP AAI and SL Core 3 this year. It really went well. I had planned to use AA2 and SL Core 4 this year ---but everyone wants their own program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I plan to combine SL and WP next year for American History. I have a similar issue, where two of my children love SL and one is having a hard time and would benefit from more pictures and hands-on. But even the two who love SL like crafts and pictures, so WP may end up being our base if our trial year goes well. WP is organized each week by topic from what I hear, so you could fit your other books in pretty easily each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proverbs356lady Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm trying to combine this year for the first time. I had a hard time deciding between SL, VP, WP, and TOG. There are aspects of each that I really like. I've decided to use TOG as my spine, mostly because I already have it from a few years ago and don't want to spend the money on another instructor guide when I have a perfectly good one here already. For the most part I'll follow TOG and add in books from the other curriculums. So far I'm happy with how I was able to adapt it to fit my needs. As someone else suggested, you can choose your favorite curriculum and then add or modify to meet your needs. It takes time and planning but I think it's worth it in the end. I'm also doing American History this year and my biggest challenge was narrowing down the books to use as there are so many excellent books to chose from. Have fun with it and make it work for your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proverbs356lady Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 They both picked WP out as first choice, my oldest would like to supplement with VP and SL titles, so that is what I'll likely do. I think that's a plan that will work very well! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
