LNC Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 My children and I started school today. We are going through logic stage middle ages. We own too many spines. We have many chapter books to enjoy, and we want to simplify our home library. They loved the following: Grammar stage A Child's History of the World Grammar/logic stage Story of the World series Now we want to continue on with: Logic stage Dorothy Mills series (I like Memoria Press workbooks for the future) Famous Men series Rhetoric stage Susan Wise Bauer, The History of... series Spielvogel, Western Civilization great books We do not like and want to sell Christine Miller's Guerber series! We have plenty of spines right? More than enough? They won't be deprived if the never read these? :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2Cs Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 No, they won't be deprived if you sell those. I'm in the same boat with my kids and too many spines for both history and science! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Curious: what do you dislike about the Christine Miller/Guerber series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I can't explain it very well. I'm a believer in the KISS method of writing. I know Miller painstakingly re-worked several of Guerber's volumes into a chronological history series. The content feels very scattered to me, and the typesetting and pronounciation helps slow me down. Mills is just so superior in organization and writing (imo). When my 6th grader is a bit older, he can read them straight through with MP's guides. MP's Famous Men series comes with flashcards for review - a huge plus for us.
