Grade 5 logic stage younger child.

[visitor]

Dear all,

 

Which curriculums / books / resources do you recommend when a child is accelerated and is entering the logic stage when he is younger.

 

Thanks in advance.

I just look through options geared for logic stage and choose what will work best for my kids. Sometimes I adapt output requirements if that seems appropriate. We're using Elemental Science Biology for the Logic Stage, and when it says "write a report" I have them write a summary paragraph instead, because we're not at "report" level in writing skills/stamina yet.

 

Another option is to use grammar-stage programs but add to them. We're using Story of the World for history, but I add in library books at a higher level, and we work on summaries (rather than narrations) and outlining skills. We've also started analyzing primary sources a bit.

 

Is that helpful? Your question was rather broad, so I'm not sure whether my response is what you were looking for or not.

Most of the classes at Athena's have middle school level input, but don't require more than elementary level output. For lower high school level input, I would look at Online G3.

These classes caught my eye today as well, if you lean secular and progressive:
