Penny Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Can anyone give more info on this? It looks great but pricey. I have a 6th grader and am interested in Pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 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.
