Lisa in the UP of MI Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 What age level are these appropriate for? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornerstone Classical Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 We used these last year. A couple of the books were in our Noeo Bio I curriculum for Early Grammar stage (grades 1-3). Hope that Helps :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Have you tried any of these from the library? Some people just love them. My dc, when they were about 6 or 7, had zero interest in these books -- biodiversity not being a big interest at the time. We did read lots of stories about, both about individual animals and about habitats, and we saw some excellent nature documentaries. I only mention this becuse I often see the OSS books recommended for quite young children (as in WP) -- but YMMV (your mileage may vary).

King Alfred Academy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I am using them with my 5 & 7 yo and we love them! We are working through the cactus desert one and doing a lapbook along with it that I found at homeschoolshare.com. I think they are fun and my boys love the pictures.

Allison TX Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 We have read them from ages 6-10. I have found that my kids enjoy them more the older they are. A lot of the information went right over their heads when they were six. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'm using them with my 6yo this year and she loves them. I would agree that they're good for a 6-10yo crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'm using them with a 6yo (1st grade) and 9.5yo (4th grade). We take about a month for each book. As we read a few pages, the children pick something that interested them and they notebook on it. Here's an example. We read the One Small Square: Grasslands and my 6yo did notebooking pages on termite mounds, zebras, migration, etc. My 9.5yo did notebooking pages on symbiosis, the acutal grass of the grassland & incroachment by foreign grasses & domestic cattle, estivation, etc. We love this series and are having a great year.
