Mosdos Press Literature Series (just read StacyTea's post)

[Penny]

Can anyone give more info on this? It looks great but pricey. I have a 6th grader and am interested in Pearl.

I have the Pearl. I bought it and it has sit on the shelf for about a year. Wanna buy it? LOL I dunno, I have not used it, but it is very textbookish. It wasn't really what I was looking for.

 

Sorry I couldn't give you more specific info than that.

 

 

Thanks Wendy. Seriously, pm me as to how much you want for it. I need something text bookish so that it gets done around here! I'm getting majorly frustrated with these guys not doing anything unless Mommy holds their little hand!

I bought Mosdos Pearl student book & TM on ebay very cheap a few years ago. It has beautiful pictures with nice stories but the book is HEAVY and I hate heavy books. It was just too much for me to work on to make it into what I wanted. :tongue_smilie:

 

I prefer the ease of CLE reading. :001_smile::001_smile: Yes, it's religious - I like that. It doesn't have beautiful pictures, but in every other way it works well for us.

 

Open & go homeschool curricula work best for me. :D

Thank you. I've read your posts about CLE but what holds me back is that I want literature from the great authors. Who are the authors in CLE lit? What I don't want is nice literature from unknown authors (like R&S publishes). I DO prefer Christian, and the books that R&S publishes are nice, but not great. How about CLE?

 

Thanks again,

Some of the grades have well know authors but it depends on which grade.

 

The theme of CLE reading 7 (The Road Less Traveled) & 8 (Where Roads Diverge) is based on Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken:

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
