I agree with do one subject really well. My kids would say mines is Math and possibly history. Despite the fact I didn’t enjoy history as a child. Anywho, have you considered using Masterbooks My World Story 3. The author Angela O Dell has a website where she shows how to use it for high school. You can also just add in books (readers) from the time period as well instead of going back through SOTW.
Hi! I think my kids would say my top two subjects are math and history as well! We did just pick the high school world history curriculum with Masterbooks that covers a large time period area. It isn't bad--- We just really love all the extra resources with SOTW and the chronological approach :) It isn't too hard to go back through since we've already used them twice. For whatever history time period we are in-- I always love assigning extra books for the appropriate age. There are so many to choose from! :)
@@Home.School.andLife we have done the Easy Grammar books forever. My kids wanted to try something different, because they felt like they were doing the same thing every day every year. We switched to something different and it isn’t going well for my 9th grader. It isn’t worth the anxious feelings he has each day, so we are making another switch. After Christmas break he is starting at the beginning of Fix it Grammar. Being that it is well below his level I plan to go through several days of assessments in one day , and possibly skipping some of the assignments if he completely understands the concepts. I’m starting at level 1 to make sure he gets the concept of the curriculum. We will most likely get through a good portion of the level 2 book as well before the end of the year. I also tried a new curriculum to teach my 7th grader about Arthropods. It was supposed to be just something extra and fun, but the main book has been miserable with way too much unnecessary reading. To replace it I purchased the Arthropod curriculum from The Good and The Beautiful. It just arrived this week and just by looking at it I think it’s going to be great!
I switched my 10th graders to Essentials in Writing for grammar and writing and it’s going so well. My 6th and 7th graders I switched to CTC math and it’s going well also.
Hmm. Didn’t see that. We haven’t had an issue with the books we have. The teacher books have great “extra” enrichment ideas that have been helpful. When we got to some more modern hostory- a few of the books we used as supplements and aids were HEAVILY slanted towards what we considered untrue accounts of history. (It wasn’t SOTW) but - it did provide great discussion within the family and prompted some personal research from each kid- so that was actually an unplanned positive .

We are making a couple changes after Christmas break too.
Would love to hear your changes too!
I’m excited about our “book basket” changes we are going to make. Video coming on that soon!

@@JillRB Sounds like we are making similar changes! :) Hope it all goes well.

@@Grace_Filled_Homeschool I've heard a lot of people like the Essentials in Writing. I'm excited about our changes!
I won't use SoTW. During Covid the author of those books was very outspoken snd appeared on tge more liberal view of History. 😮
