Would this be too young for a 6th grader?

would this be suitable for a 6 year old boy who currently cant write or read independently?

Thanks for the review. Just want to throw out there that time lining is not busywork. the sense of time develops around age of 8 and children are learning primarily through concrete ways-they need manipulative and experiences to take in information through the senses. History is a particularly abstract subject, it is probably the least concrete subject because it is in the past it cannot be experiences. images help, but the timeline makes time concrete for children in the concrete stage of development. The one they recommend may not be required, but most curricula and educational methods do recommend time lining, it is especially interesting to see how events overlap...like di you know Noah's sons were still living when Abraham left Ur? timelines are super helpful for children--as adults we can imagine things because we have a lot of experiences and media and teaching that have laid the foundations, children don't have that. SO wouldn't ever skip a timeline with younger kids-basically k-8.

How long does it take to complete the science and geography per day? Do you use another curriculum for history as well?

The way you reviewed this was so thorough and helpful. Thank you for including the companion guide information and the enrichment reccs! Great video!

Send all the books by post so I don't have to by them thanks so much

Thank you so much for sharing !😊

Thank you so much for this video!

We are planning on using Mystery of History next school year. I don't think we will do the timeline either. We did a timeline 2 years ago in our history and the kids got nothing from it.

I would love to hear how this year went for you! I enjoy seeing your videos and they are so helpful ❤

Is all of WWII in 507?

❤

Wgat literature ?

Better study origami in Japan, it's where it comes from. Too many books. I will never get the "read aloud" concept, you already read, the kids are who need to learn how to do it.

Love all these picks! How did everything go with these family subjects?

What is another Biblical world view history curriculum you’d recommend or what are you doing now? Thanks for this review.

What did you end up switching to? I have a K & 2nd and wanting to introduce a history that will keep them intrigued, but also doesn’t take a ton of time because they are young. I really want one that is a Christian world view and starts with creation (not US history like so many popular ones seem to do).

You'll let him hunt and use a gun but you don't let him on the internet? 😂😂😂😂😂 really??? That's what you call an oxymoron.

You hit every single question I had!

This video is appreciated. I really believe I have a strong grasp of how the curriculum works. Thank you.

Thank you! So there’s about 48 reading comprehension lessons?

So very helpful! I’m very excited to use this in the upcoming year 😊

Thank you for sharing! I have my first middle schooler starting this year!

Wait... did that say god created the animals so we could enjoy them? Did I read that right? My 12yo is mortified right now. Somebody please tell me that's a mistake or I didn't see it clearly or something.

How do you get the pages in without majorly crinkling them? I have had an awful time and tried over and over and pages are sticking to the plastic and making it awful to go in and I don't want crazy crinkled pages or to fight with it each time I want to fill it. I even cut a tiny bit off the length of the page and it didn't help.

We bought this for my daughter. She really enjoyed it at first, but unfortunately it became repetitive and my daughter got bored with it. We only made it halfway through. I decided to put it away and take a break. I'm not sure we will go back to it.

Thanks for the review! Have you tried Biblioplan?

Thanks for sharing these resources. Reading Skills looks great. Gonna look into it. Just finally subscribed after enjoying many of your videos. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and glad to connect here!

Do you have a review of the Master Books Living Healthy curriculum?

For typing 2 do you have to buy a typewritter? Thank for your video

Make me smile on your face

I am new to your channel and absolutely love the way you review things! I am going to be new to homeschooling my daughter this year and she will be starting 3rd grade. I was looking at Abeka for English but I am going to look at BJU also. Thank you!!!!!

Might want to check out homeschooling Christian teen group. Check make sure they re” not cliquish. My boyfriend unfortunately had to cut ties with a family member. Basically they refused to admit they were wrong how they treated me few years ago… we re” talking about running homeschooling group for autistic teens & typically teens .. we been man labeled crazy of wanting to homeschool our feature kids once married. We re” Christians.

We LOVE Redefining School!

The watercolor is something my children have expressed interest in also, hopefully it is as encouraging for your children as you’re hoping and they have a wonderful full school year ❤

I have a rising 6th and 8th grader as well, we are using the same two funschooling journals but we will be diving into them for summer school! Thank you for the recommendation of the Journible I’d never heard of that but it looks like a wonderful way to keep up their handwriting practice. Prayers that you all will have a wonderful summer and coming school year. 😊

I love that you are sticking with several programs that you have used before. This helps me when choosing programs for the first time

Wow we are doing the same curriculum except for math!

My rising 6th grader is also using The History of the Horse. Here's to a great school year!

Great to see your picks. We have loved using history of the horse. Best wishes for the new homeschool year.

Nice picks! We also use Notgrass History, we are doing America the Beautiful right now and really like it, we plan to use From Adam to Us when we finish. The BJU Reading program looks fun!

I’m very interested to see how you guys like Notgrass history and the Beautiful Feet history. My rising 4th grader is going to use Notgrass Our Star Spangled Story and then maybe moving on with other courses from them if she likes it. 👍🏻 😊

My son is currently using BJU English 6 and Reading 6. He enjoys it. It’s definitely challenging and reading isn’t his fave. He’s also doing ASL 1 with Mr. D Math. He really likes it. You submit assignments and the teacher responds with feedback. He’s halfway through the course and will most likely move on to ASL 2 in the fall.

If you ever find that you need it, you can buy the activities answer key for reading 5 without buying the Teachers Editions. From 4 and up I find the answer key for the activities very useful unless you are reading every story with your child. I have 4 I teach though and have found them a sanity saver. You are right, BJU’s reading is VERY meaty and we have loved it. We also love their English and my oldest is doing all their ELA/reading subjects this year. We switched my kids over 3 years ago and have loved it.

Thank you for sharing your choices. We are doing a lot of similar ones, and I keep looking at the BJU reading too 😊. You explain things so well. Please keep sharing. 😊

Your videos are some of the most helpful I have come across! I love your channel and you articulate your thoughts/reasons so well! I’m a few years behind you so I’m constantly rewatching your older videos too! Lol!

Enjoy your videos! I will have to look into history of a horse...that looks like it could double as history and reading! We are going to do the typing course as well this year. My soon to be 7th grader wanted to do Spanish but after speaking with BJU and HSLDA decided to wait till 8th grade so it will count for 8th and 9th grade. Just learning about certain subjects taken in 8th grade that are allowed to be counted on transcript for 9th grade. Have a great week!

We are doing History of the Horse with my 4th grader next year. She is so excited.

I love your curriculum videos! BJU Press Homeschool is releasing a sign language course also that you might want to check out.

We are switching to BJU English 5 and 8 next year!
