Mrs Mungo Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I see them as a UG resource for TOG and I was wondering if a 7 yo would understand much of what is being read? They would probably be okay (not great but okay) for a read-aloud for a seven year old. However, we didn't use them until logic stage.

Klothos Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Have you looked at The American Revolution for Kids: 21 Activities? Here's a preview of the book, to give you an idea of the material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Rivers Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I would say save them until UG. Sonlight even has them for junior high AND high school. When we read them, my 5th grader was fascinated while my 7 year old was asking, "Are we done yet?" most of the time. lol There was a previous thread on an American History spine for LG level. I've got company coming any minute otherwise I would search it for you.....there were several good recommendations...wish I could remember the name of that thread...but try American History spine for starters...

Ali in OR Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 They work for ages 6 to 45 in our house! My youngest was actually still 5 when we started these as part of Biblioplan. I read them aloud and skip most of the side bars. We enjoy them and have really learned a lot. My youngest is now 7 and I asked her if she is able to follow along and she says yes and that she likes them. I wouldn't choose them specifically for a 7 year old, but if the 7 yo is just tagging along with an older sib, they are fine. My 9 yo reads ahead for fun. They are probably a middle school level for reading alone I would guess. But even the adults in the house can enjoy reading them and learn a lot. See if your library has them so you can check one out and see what you think. Some people are not crazy about her writing style and some people perceive a liberal bias. We're okay with both (but fewer sentence fragments would suit me just fine!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
