hermione310 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hi there, My daughter just started the Veritas Press self-paced history course "Explorers to 1815". So far it's a hit. We ordered that flashcards and also the level 2 literature kit to accompany the course. DD completed lesson 3 today. So far, I can't see any reference to the literature, or recommendations for supplementary reading associated with each lesson. For those of you that have already used this course -- how did you use the supplementary books? (I'm planning to use them as read-alouds.) Is there somewhere in the course that says "for lessons 5-8, read x", or....? Just wondering where it's referenced. Thanks in advance for any pointers!

ByGrace3 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'm curious how the lit is assigned as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 There is a yahoo group called VP_Elementary. It has all of the literature assignments for the self-paced history classes listed by week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_Household Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 At the end of the lesson, there will be a page that says what the reading is. It is not on every lesson, so it probably hasn't started yet by lesson 3. You can also go into the account and look up the list on the right hand side under Documents. It states what week and what book/pages for each day. I am using it for my two children, one for level 1 and one for level 2. It will be their reading books so that I can tie History and Reading together. They will complete the work after the history lesson. Some of the level 2 books have literature guides they can complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed to occasionally make sure my kids were on track. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really helpful to get an idea of what's coming to plan our time. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting ready to order this for my daughter and was curious how you are liking it. I looked at the sample lessons and had this exact question. Did you find a good method for assigning the books? How many lessons a week do you do or are recommended. Any tips or things that have worked well for you? Thanks, Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
