?? About AO 2 and well AO in general for 1st/2nd grader??


Recommended Posts

Do you read the weekly reading for AO2 with your 2nd grader or do you have them read the materials independently? :confused:

 

For instance week 1's list of reading includes...

 

The Bible

An Island Story ch 22 Harold

Trial and Triumph 10. Charlemagne Protector of the Church (742-814 AD)

The Little Duke - first half of chapter 1

Tree in the Trail chapter 1

Burgess Animal Book I Jenny Wren Gives Peter Rabbit an Idea, II Peter and Jumper Go To School

Poetry of Walter de la Mare

Lamb's or Nesbit's Shakespeare: The Two Gentlemen of Verona

Pilgrim's Progress: about 800 words every week

 

.... Would this be what an average 6-7 year old can read independently or is this read aloud?

Yes, I did this for years!:tongue_smilie: I read aloud the stories. However in order to help me, I did use books on CD or tape to help with the readings.

 

For Trial and Triumph, I waited until my son was doing Story of the World on the second round. I had him read Trial and Triumph alongside his world history readings. That worked out perfectly. I never read that to him. What I do with the Shakespeare is I waited until my children were in 4th grade and then I started him with Lamb's Shakespeare. I would have my son read only two paragraphs at a time and then explain back to me what he read. Burgess Book, there is a free read aloud that I found on the web, but my computer crashed, I do not have that site. I use to play that for the children.

 

I only had them read independently at 4th grade.

 

Blessings in your homeschooling journey!

 

Sincerely,

Karen
