Favorite Grammar stage literature for SOTW 2?

[Gentlemommy]

I'm making my list for the used curriculum sale in a few months! Dd will be 8 when we start sotw 2 in fall, and loves to be read to. What are your favorite resources? I do have the AG, but haven't gone through it yet.

I'm currently working on my list, too. I've started going through the AG but rely very much on opinions here. I had good luck with searching for threads with 'middle ages' in the title, that gave me a good start. This recent thread has a few suggestions:

I would recommend Sonlight's book list for Core C, the 2nd half of Introduction to World History.

Just thought of some we have...my kids love the Good Times Travel Agency series. There is one for Middle Ages and one for Vikings that go well with SOTW2.

 

If he likes Magic School Bus there is a Ms. Frizzle's Adventures: Medieval Castle.

 

We also love the Usborne See Inside series. My 8yo pores over these. It's a lift the flap book, which seems too young for an 8yo but they are packed with information. See Inside Castles, See Inside the Middle Ages.
