What a breath of fresh air!!! We have been blessed to try a new curriculum that is based off of the eight American Girl Collection. It is a multisensory learning program that is not only fun and educational history wise, but for a family with 9 children, 4 of whom struggle with Dyslexia, it is a perfect combination! In everything you study, they try to follow the pattern of "Read it, Hear it, See it, Write it, and Do it."
This is not a curriculum for only girls as there are male characters in each book, as well as crafts and suggested field trips that will entertain and engage boys, keep them interested and teach them history in a fun, educational way.
If this sounds like a curriculum you'd like to try, or one that will fit your family, they are having a contest starting on March 1, 2013 - March 10, 2013. It will only take minutes to enter, and it will be worth your time!!! :+)
