We tried Famous Female Musicians Non Fiction Reading in our morning learning block, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with making room for repetition at our own pace. We liked having a resource to return to instead of starting from scratch.
We tried Aesop Manuscript alongside a weekly co-op, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with returning to a draft with fresh eyes. We made room for extra discussion rather than trying to finish quickly.
We tried Collins CAPE Economics - CAPE Economics during a quiet afternoon session, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with giving practical learning a regular place in the week. It was a welcome addition, though we still adjusted it to suit our week.
We tried Canadian French Geography and Mapping Skills as part of our home learning routine, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with adding another language to our weekly routine. We would recommend looking at the publisher’s sample before deciding.
We tried 2GS SET – New Zealand when we wanted a change of pace, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with connecting practice with an everyday example. For us, the value was in returning to it regularly.
We tried All About Reading on the days we learned together, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with noticing small steps forward. We liked the direction it gave us while leaving room to add our own ideas.
We tried Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry Program during a shorter school week, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with slowing down to make an observation. We would keep it in our regular rotation.
We tried A Pageant of History: Ancient Times in a small learning space, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with connecting our reading with a timeline. It gave us a useful starting point, and we adapted the pace.
We tried Collins Geography - Our planet – 2 at the kitchen table, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with following up on places in our reading. A useful resource, though we needed to adapt more than we expected.
We tried Canadian Creative Colouring: Animals between our library visits, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with taking a break from written work. It worked best when we kept sessions short and consistent.
