Namely history, because we love Beautiful Feet so much, our dd will be sticking with their Medieval History guide, which covers the same time period and uses similar books, including the Magna Charta book by Daugherty that you mentioned. Our ds will also be using some of AO7, though due to dyslexia, I've swapped out some books for him or will be reading them aloud. I'm so thankful for AO and homeschooling in that we are able to use them to serve each of our children in a unique way.

I knew that many of the set books were used in uni/college level courses. I had a 17 yr old at the time who had struggled with reading & I took the plunge and started him and his 15 yr old brother in AO Year 8. It was the making of him in many ways as he rose to the challenge so there is that personal aspect. Another is the subject matter - early British history from which so much of what we value and is now being eroded sprang from. There is so much in Yrs 7 & 8 that I missed myself as I was growing up and I've appreciated learning alongside my kids. They're the main reasons, I think, Heather.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-62200237771614648112017-08-25T22:15:18.103+10:002017-08-25T22:15:18.103+10:00What about Years 7 and 8 make them some of your fa...What about Years 7 and 8 make them some of your favorites?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717582906325724221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-9360801148656777302017-08-25T21:10:59.688+10:002017-08-25T21:10:59.688+10:00You're welcome, Deborah.
