polishinggems Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Has anyone used these? We've mostly been using a CM - read and summarize - approach, but I like to throw some other things into the mix from time to time. I was thinking of using one or two of these with my 5th and 3rd graders. Do you know how long one would take to complete and how extensive they are? The samples appeal to me, but I'd like to have an idea how to plan them into our school year/day. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scheduled them so that she reads 2 chapters a week. There are a lot of questions and I break them up. So each chapter actually gets read twice. We could do a faster pace, but I like the way it's going. 3 books getting studied in depth is good enough for me at this stage. She already reads a ton by her own choice anyways.

Meriwether Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 For Dd, we've done one chapter per day and we've used most of the guides at each level. I don't think there is a wrong way to do it. Maybe you could pick one or two and see how they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
