denisela Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 My kids are both in a charter school right now, and I've decided to home school them starting next year. My DS is 10, going into 5th grade. My DD is 6, going into 2nd grade. So here is my dilemma. I like WTM, and was thinking of using Story of the World, or something similar. But according to WTM, my son would be entering the "Logic" phase, and my daughter is still in the "Grammar" phase. But, although my son was always tested very ahead of his grade level, this year has been a horrible year at school and he has gotten behind. So I don't know if technically he should go into the Logic phase without first learning some of the basic Grammar rules and foundations. How do you integrate two kids on different levels, without starting at the beginning? I also looked at My Father's World and wonder how that compares, it seems a bit more easy to start both kids at the same level, but I really liked the Classical Education method.

Aurelia Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I would start them both with ancient history, and you could do SOTW with both, but have your son do more detailed work with the timeline, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Check out Pandia Press History Odyssey. You could have your son do Ancients (Level 2) while your dd does Ancients (Level 1) or Middle Ages (Level 1). You could do some summer school for any skills you think he needs to work on.
