frugalmamatx Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm trying to work less on academics this year and more on school habits. One of this things I've done is to {with DD's input} switch to more workbook based programs. We've found Spectrum workbooks to be a good fit for Language Arts and Science - but they don't have history! We were doing lifepac....but it's just not working. it's too much, too biased, and just not a good fit. Does anyone know of something similar to spectrum workbooks, for either US, Texas or World history? Geared towards middle school -ish?

almondbutterandjelly Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Story of the U.S.A. by Escher? cbd.com carries them. I think there's also Story of Western Civilization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraBeth475 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Core Skills Social Studies by Steck Vaughn worked well for me when we had to have a workbook year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlktwins Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 We are using Critical Thinking Company's US History Detective workbooks. My boys are enjoying them. I've added extra reading to round it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytwomonkeys Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Agreeing with previous poster that suggested Story of the USA. It definitely would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Maybe Starline Press? It's secular, but pricey. Here it is at RR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a world history one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
