persephone43 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Im putting together a booklist to supplement SOTW 1. I have the activity guide but I will be doing this with a 10 yob and most of the suggestions were a bit young. Any must reads for Egypt and Greece especially? (we probably wont get to Rome until summer/fall so that can wait). I will be doing some as read-alouds and others for independent reading. (looking for fiction mostly, but nf ideas are welcome). Looking for your favorites :) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I know you're looking more for logic stage books, but this was my post about our favorites for the grammar stage with SOTW1. Good luck. I know a lot of people have good SOTW book lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. I know a lot of people have good SOTW book lists. He is actully in 3rd grade and his reading level is about at that level. I am looking for ones he can read to himself as well as more mature books that I can read to him. This list is great! Thank you!

ELaurie Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 We were all on the edge of our seats while reading it. It has some mature content though - the main character has a step brother who is abusive to him, so it might be best as a read a loud unless your ds is fairly mature, and will talk with you about it while reading the book. We also loved The Bronze Bow - again this would make an excellent read aloud; the audiobook version is also well done. (There is a very mild romantic theme in the book, but this is merely a subplot.)

I pre-read The Golden Goblet before ds (11) was to read it for our Ancient History studies and decided it would make an excellent read-aloud. I'm so glad we did it that way! Ds had me reading to him every night at bedtime and every morning before he got out of bed. He loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
