mohop Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I'm looking for recommendations for a curriculum for grades 4-8 that combines ELA instruction with social studies topics (either history or geography). This would potentially be used in a 4 day/week co-op for a group of kids ranging from 4th to 8th grades. The expectation is that each child can work fairly independently with an academic guide assisting, so it should be pretty easy to implement.

Targhee Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I think if you want full history and full ELA you will probably only find them in very integrated curricula, like Wayfarers or Sonlight. IEW uses history to teach writing, and History Odyssey uses writing to teach history, but they’re squarely a writing program and a history program respectively. Just curious, you’re co-opting 4 days a week? How do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m helping some friends new to homeschooling figure out what curricula they should use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
