Middle School
Middle school is the band everybody skips, and it is where most families get scared. Pre-algebra shows up, writing gets graded on argument instead of neatness, and your child stops wanting to be read to. Almost every homeschool catalog thins out right here. This one does not.
How to use it: one math book, ninety minutes of real work a day, and reading that respects them. A twelve-year-old who reads The Hunger Games in two days is telling you exactly what school should look like this year. Give them the series, then give them the books it was built from, and the literature takes care of itself.
The whole year on one shelf: 6th, 7th, 8th. For the reader: The Series Reader and The Hunger Games Shelf.
