Red Herring Mysteries and The Great Chocolate Caper are just two books that we will add in when we have time. We have done some of the Red Herring Mysteries before and both children really like them.
Just as with my son's curriculum there are something I need to figure out yet, mainly in the language arts area and just which science program. But I think I have made enough choices so far that we can get a start on the school year.
Thanks so much for sharing! I'm super interested in the Red Herring. I have found picking a Math program hard! After "interviewing" many Mothers who have graduates or High Schoolers they had this to say, The Key to Series is awesome. Whether you supplement with it or use it solely or even better yet, go through them before you do the Math Program full time or take breaks and just use it they all agreed it was GOOD! Saxon seemed to be the one that prepares best for SAT. Saxon with the CD's and/or DIVE worked well. Just go slow with Saxon and don't do every problem. For as much as they liked TT, they felt that after all is said and done you need to supplement with "harder" math problems if your child will be taking the SAT.
