faiths13 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I have looked at quite a few vintage texts that I loved the look of for older grades - Primary Language Lessons, Ray's Primary Arithmetic. So I was wondering if there is anything like that geared towards Kindergarten age? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nansk Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 For that age, I taught concepts based on Ruth Beechick's The Three R's. Also, we did Blend Phonics at that age on a whiteboard. Emma Serl has a book called Everyday Number Stories that is good for K-1. Look for it on archive.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in MS Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Everyday Number Stories is cute, but it does advance very quickly. I can see it being a nice diversion from the same ol curriculum, and a great supplement. There are 136 page and 108 lessons. In that space it moves from adding numbers through 10 all the way to multiplying and dividing through 144. It includes money, fractions, measurements (pint, yard, peck, pounds, etc), +-/x, skip counting, square inches. It has delightful illustrations and fun word problems. I can see it being a full curriculum over a couple of years if you are diligent branching off and providing additional work. It is fun to use this with hands on approach. My dd thoroughly enjoys it when we use it and she is NOT a math person. My dd could have not done very much with this book in K. Only a small part in 1st. I don't know of any vintage books for K. Probably because the mindset of folks back then was to let their child play instead of doing school work. Not saying either way is wrong. I personally like a happy medium. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesoflyte Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't know of any vintage curriculum besides possibly part 1 of A Manual of Elementary Education by EA Sheldon. It is free at Google. https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=B12sdTKGTcsC&printsec=frontcover&output=reader&authuser=0&hl=en&pg=GBS.PA3 Vintage books may be hard to find for kindergarten as it was not really "academic" until the mid 1900's.

brla Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 http://oldfashionededucation.com/fullcurriculum.htm this has a link to brightly beaming k curr. plus they have a full 40 week schedule for k-12. Most of the resources are free and include several of the things you listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
