Fourmother Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Is Sonlight 100 the only curriculum which schedules A History of US together with supplemental readings. I'm planning to use Hakim's series as a spine for my 8th grader's American History studies in the fall. I'd like to integrate historical fiction and other books as well, but I'd rather not take all the time to plan out when to read which titles. (I guess I could do it myself, but I have a 5th grade and 2nd grader to plan for as well, so I'd like to make my job a bit easier here where possible.) Unfortunately, the Sonlight Instructor's Guide is too much for my purposes. I only need help scheduling history and literature for him since he will be taken math, composition, and science classes. Basically, I wouldn't get enough benefit from the IG to justify the fairly expensive price tag. I've been googling for American History reading lists, but haven't come up with much. Any suggestions?

sandra in va Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hewitt Homeschooling has a syllabus for Hakim's books. It includes tests and book lists (I think...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I believe each of the Hakim books has a suggested additional readings page at the back for more books about the time period covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna T. Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Beautiful Feet covers Hakim's series over two years at the high school level. I'm sure you could use it with an 8th grader though. It includes alot of other reading material. Biblioplan uses Hakim over two years also. It also includes many other books. And, WinterPromise has a one year schedule/guide for the series. Not sure how much extra literature is scheduled in that guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ida Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If you end up making a master list, please share! I am also using Hakim for history next year with 8th, 6th, and 4th graders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
