Beaniemom Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I saw differing level markers for this on IEW's website. Those of you who have used this, is it appropriate for a 3rd grader or is the difficulty more middle school level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monalisa Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 My 8th grade daughter used it this year, and my thought is that it would be quite challenging for a 3rd grader. It seems to me to be written to a middle school level, but I do know that Classical Conversations uses it in Essentials, so that would be as low as 4th grade.

kristin0713 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I think it is definitely middle school level. My fifth grader struggled with it this year. Although part of that was that she hated studying the Middle Ages. Still, I would not use it for third grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAtoVA Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I looked into it for my 7th grader this year but decided to go in a different direction. I am doing the U.S. History IEW book with my 3rd grader this year, however. I think the Medieval book would be a bit challenging for all but a few 3rd graders, but I plan to use some of it next year with her and to modify if necessary.

mschickie Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I would really recommend doing it after a student has done SWI-A. We did the book when dd was in 6th after having completed SWI-A and continuation course A and it worked well for us. The content would probably be a little difficult for a 3rd grader too.
