StephanieF Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 We did Sonlight core K with ds when he was 5 yrs and loved it. We didn't go on to core 1 because I didn't like their spines for history and so we used SOTW 1. I've just looked at the Living Books Curriculum site for the first time and wondered whether I could use their grade 2 for ds who will be grade 2 in the fall. My concerns are that we have already done SOTW1 so would the world history be a repeat? Also we wouldn't do the bible or phonics part as we will be using PR1 for that. Anyone got an opinion?

CamperMom Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi, In my opinion, going with Living Books C. would not so much be a repeat of ancients, but a focusing in on Ancient Egypt. SOTW covers ancient history of many peoples of the world, whereas Living Books focuses on one or two cultures per year. Take a look at the Living Books list for year 2, you'll see that it is all about Egypt. So it just depends on what you want to do with your study of history. I think Living Books, yr. 2 would go well with a study of SOTW 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieF Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks for that! I was just wondering whether it would be too narrow for the whole year. Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
