garyandmolly Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I love the looks of Sonlight with the big pile of read alouds, but I want to do a chronological study of history with my 4th, 5th and 6th grader. Any ideas of for a curriculum like Sonlight but chronological? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbypr Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Biblioplan might fit the bill for you. They use a 4 yr history cycle, but they also include an extensive reading list with tons of options to choose from at all levels. They say that it's like a buffet of options. You aren't supposed to do everything, just pick and choose the pieces that you want to include. So, it would be easy to use that as a spine and just focus on the literature aspect.

Lori D. Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 If you're up for "DIY", here's a list of (older) Sonlight books in WTM chronological order. Also resources like A Book in Time (free website), and the book All Through the Ages (Miller). Chronological history-based curricula (either use the program, or get ideas from their booklists): - History Odyssey (secular) - Biblioplan (Christian) -- year 1 (ancients); year 2 (medieval); year 3 (early modern); year 4 (modern) - Tapestry of Grace (Christian) -- booklists by topic (including historical periods) - Heart of Dakota (Christian) -- chronological with extensions for students up to 2 years older than Creation to Christ -- pre-history/ancients -- (ages 9-11) (ext. for ages 12-13) Resurrection to Reformation -- roughly start of AD through 1650 -- (ages 10-12) (ext. for ages 13-14) Revival to Revolution -- roughly 1650-1850 -- (ages 11-13) (ext. for ages 14-15) Missions to Marvels -- roughly 1850-present (ages 12-14) -- (ext for ages 15-16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
