Thanks BB,
Actually, I should have mentioned that this schedule is always being re-worked. Both Falcon and I have already made changes and tweaked it. We’re going to read How To Be Your Own Selfish Pig first then we might get around to Fallacy Detective. Caleb listened into that when we read it aloud the first time, which he won’t remember but I do actually think he’ll pick some things up.

I’ve added Student New Daily to the schedule and I actually prefer it to Youngzine.

But thanks for the feedback – MUCH appreciated!

Ha-haa Abba, I know what you mean about postage. Does AdnilPress still stock LOF?

No, I don’t use it as a stand alone. Maybe you could, especially for younger children (better later than early approach) but we are really focussing on Maths this year so my poor boy is doing three lots of Maths. MathsOnline is his main curriculum, additional units from Skwirk and some LOF. We’ve decided to NOT go with MUS this year after all. No reason, I still think it is an excellent product but we can get through MO and Skwirk quicker and for now, it suits our needs.

I use LOF as the supplement, the extra. 🙂

You may have already done it, but it might be fun to add the Fallacy Detective to Falcon’s reading list if he is going to be looking at the news articles and forum responses on Youngzine – it’s a perfect opportunity to use the skills taught there, and if you haven’t already done it, the book is fun and easy to read.

For a child, do you find it works as a stand alone curriculum? A lot of people seem to only use it as a supplement but the guy who wrote it says it’s a fully inclusive one. Some say the books before Algebra are supplements only. I see you have another curriculum source listed, but is it nececary do you think, or just a fun extra?
