Hey Grinity - thanks for the ideas!

master of none - I am in a similar position as you and we are now about 95% sure we will be homeschooling after this year. I also have a first grader.

I am wondering if anyone has used jr. great books as a basis for homeschool reading, comprhension, discussion, vocab, etc? I know the program is designed for larger group discussion, but I have been fairly impressed with the small scale pull out they are doing at school with a parent volunteer. The stories my son have read have been really good. I think he's doing 2nd or 3rd grade level? Anyone worked with 4th or 5th grade level?
