What's up with Runkle's Geography?

It is sold through Geography Matters but their website says it is "temporarily unavailable." Is it sold out or are they bringing out a new version?

 

I was just looking at this for DD11. It says 6th grade through high school. What levels have folks successfully used this program? How helpful is the extra activity book?

 

Thanks,

My boys used it last year in 7th grade, and my dd will use it this coming year in 6th grade.

 

It was pretty easy for my boys.

 

Hands-on activities are included in the textbook; the student workbook contains all the "geography" work: maps, etc.

 

ETA: And I'm not sure why it shows up as not available. I bought both of our textbooks used from Amazon last year for very good prices.

I do not have an idea why it would be "temporarily unavailable".

 

I used it with a 7th grader fine, but he' studious. My second child will be using it in highschool.

 

I have a schedule for it on my blog, and was in contact with Mrs. Runkle in forming it (the schedule) spring of this year. She did not mention anything about changing the book. . .so, if anything, I would assume they just need to do another reprinting? (guessing)

I ordered it and got mine last week but a note said that the student book was on back order.

 

I have no idea what's in the student book.

 

The rest of the program looks great. This may be one of the best homeschooling finds ever for me.

Nuts, missed this question.

 

I would say the Student Activity Guide isn't worth the money. It's basically a blank map set and you can find those online easy enough. . .better even as the ones I have in my guide have numbers for each country.

 

My guide is from 1999 though. . .I don't know if they've changed them at all.
