In reply to Erica. Hi Erica! I love, love, love TOG for the dialectic and rhetoric stages, so I'll switch my younger kids over to TOG as they reach the dialectic stage. Yes, ELTL D, which my daughter is using, has studied dictation for spelling. ELTL C begins dictation, but ELTL B only uses copy work. Copy work may be enough for some kids, but my son needs more spelling practice than that, so I'm using Reading Lessons Through Literature with him.

Hello,lovely. Thank you for sharing! Out of curiosity, at which point will you switch your younger kiddos to TOG? Also, does ELTL include spelling? I have a 3rd ish grade student, and we’re shopping for resources. Grateful for this post. We are looking to simplify our routine. Pulling from sooo many resources right now. This looks simple and lifegiving.

In reply to Janice. Junior high and high school terrified me with my oldest! And yes, there are many affordable ways to homeschool junior and senior high. :)

I love this! Thank you for sharing.
We started ELL level A (with my second grader- although I might switch to B early) and E this summer. We have loved Right Start Math. I’ve considered switching to Saxon as they get into high school though and level out of RS.

We are currently using Classical conversations to set our core themes. I have a strong grasp on what I’m doing with my three elementary students (we have three in elementary and one going into seventh), but junior high makes me nervous. I’ve often wondered about trying other curriculums. This is a wonderful synopsis! And gives me some hope that there are other affordable ways.
