HappyGrace Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Just wondering! Thanks. You can also feel free to comment whether you were happy with what age you did it. (I know every dc is different.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugs Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 We've done it with 7th and 8th graders. We liked it and it was appropriate for my kids at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Mine are 7th and 5th. We did the first lesson today.....and they liked it! How often do you do it? I am thinking just once or twice per week. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 6th, as a supplement to Art of Argument. My friend (she was teaching the "big" kids logic while I taught the "little ones" Latin) felt like the explanations were better in AofA and the examples more complete in FD, so they worked pretty well together. She followed the structure of AofA and jumped around a little in FD so they would match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ds did it his first year of homeschooling, in 9th grade. He had never had logic of any kind, and was lacking in this area, somewhat due to Asperger's. I think dd will probably do it in 7th or 8th.

lauracolumbus Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 My two did it together last spring when they were in 4th and 6th. They really enjoyed it. They did the Case of Red Herrings after that, but I didn't care for it. Right now they're doing Thinking Toolbox. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5LittleMonkeys Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Dd13 is doing it this year (7th). I think it depends a lot on the dc. Dd11 tried to do some of it but I don't think her brain has reached logic stage yet because it went way over her head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We did it in sixth grade last year, and it was fine for that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jyniffrec Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We are using it now for Thing 1 and Thing 2. Thing 2 is fairly immature for his age and I think I lost him a little before halfway through. Thing 2 has done fine with it. I don't regret having Thing 2 go through it right now, though, because I suspect he needs to go through some things twice in order to really understand them.

Mom22ns Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm doing it with a 6th and an 8th grader. My 6th grader has always been ahead in logic skill compared to my 8th grader, but my 8th grader is getting a lot more out of this than his little sister. While she is doing fine, he enjoys it more and masters it faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mryann Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm using it for my 7th grader. He reads it independently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We have been doing FD for 6th grade pre-logic studies and my dd really handles it well. There are just a few examples that are too advanced for her at this point, but the majority of the book is very enjoyable, understandable and helpful to her as a mature pre-teen. We are planning to move on to Thinking Toolbox or Art of Argument for 7th grade - haven't decided which yet. Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
