We did America the Beautiful last year and plan to to US and You this year. I wouldn’t combine them. There are 150 lessons in each book, some are shorter and some are longer, but if you want to get the most out of the book and do the activities listed on the back of each lesson.... you would probably want to take your time and extend it rather than rush through it. This year We are going to do 4 lessons a week and use that 5th day to do some more of the activities. The literature selections that go with the books were really good, too. We didn’t read them all, but I wish we would have.

Thanks for your input!  I have worked our plan to do them separate years.

We did both, separate years though. I wouldn’t combine them.  If anything I would extend both to really get more out of them!

Someone I talked to recently was doing Sonlight E and had done D the previous year. They actually did Uncle Sam book 1 and ATB book 1 with D and the other 2 books they were doing with E. I thought that was an interesting idea.
