Tidbits of Learning Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I used it with a 8 and 9 year old this summer. I wouldn't use it with a 7 yr old unless they are advanced. It is hard to explain about HOD. I used 3 programs and my kids really didn't fit into 1 guide by themselves much less combined. I feel the history in the guides are strong and have great activities. With that said, the map drawing and some of the more intricate lessons I feel would need at least an 8 yr. old. The Egleston books also are a little dry and didn't keep the interest of my children.

anniet Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'm using Bigger with my 8 year old 3rd grader this year and my 10 year old. Age 8 seems like the perfect age. I couldn't imagine using it with her before this year. She would not have been ready. The history is very rich. With that being said, I do use my own age appropriate Grammar and Math.

Emilylou Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I am doing Beyond (1st) with my 6.5 year old son right now. I looked at Bigger and decide I will skip HOD for a year for 2nd grade and do Bigger with my DS in 3rd grade when he is 8. Trying to decide what to do in between??? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
