Maybe you're looking for more detailed reports, but if you're just looking for a list of resources to check out, you can search by grade on their website.

MariannNOVA Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Let's see: Our Community Primary Social Studies TM and Student Book http://www.rfwp.com/0344.htm This is authored by the same individual who authored the Animal Kingdom book - on the basis of that alone, it is worth a look....as the AK book is excellent. Poetry Pad - http://www.rfwp.com/0793.htm I am SO going to need THREE of these.....or FIVE if I include the grand-daughters!:D Museums, Muses and Me: A Museum Sketchbook http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm'>http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm'>http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm'>http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm This book just about sums up why I homeschool --b/c the opportunity for rewarding, unique experiences can be found at every turn. What color is Newton's Apple? http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm A 'learning across the curriculum' book - Educational Play: Language Arts http://www.rfwp.com/1707.htm Pls read the description on the website - I think that this is another 'learning across the curric' book that probably has alot of potential for much use. I tutor a little boy with dyslexia, and the games in here are great for him. Aesop's Fables: My dd9 LOVES LOVES LOVES Aesop's Fables -- Definitely must order this. Terri's Winter - http://www.rfwp.com/2193.htm Animal Story - Would likely go well with The Animal Kingdom books when doing the Turtle Unit. Script Ease -- http://www.rfwp.com/1001.htm A simple, step-by-step guide from manuscript to calligraphy. Reproducible worksheets designed to teach children Italic handwriting. The italic alphabet is beautiful and readable and has the additional advantage of presenting a sensible and logical progression from the printed letters to their cursive counter-parts. (Can Be Used with Charlotte Mason Methodology) Suppose the Wolf Were An Octopus: http://www.rfwp.com/series24.htm#134 - Definitely worth taking a look -- might not be your 'literature' program for older primary or middle school, but for the youngers, it is something that would be fun to work into their lit/reading program. At the K-3 levels, there is much more on the website that's worth a look. These are the publications that I am in the process of ordering or I already have. I love to switch things up, throw new things in, have these types of materials on hand as a treat, anything to keep what we do new, fresh, and NOT routine. Probably more for me than for the kids. The website is definitely worth a good look -- on the left hand side of the page, one is able to search by Subject, Grade, Author, Title, Geography, Novels, or Series. I found SO much......there is alot more to RFWP than MCT --and I would consider MCT a tough act to follow, but the others are worthy. I know that I've already mentioned Keepers of the Flame and TACKLE THURSDAYS - those are for older kids - 4th and 5th grade. Also, Dr. Dave's Science Manuals - not a stand alone science program, but excellent books with fun science things for kids - K and up would enjoy this. And, some of the activities are 'across the curriculum.' HTH Oh, yes: I am working on parsing Keepers of the Flame - hoping to get that finished by end of next week.
