Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Middle School workbooks for high school level?

Hi all,
My DD9 is functioning at a high school level or above. I went to a school supply store to look for summer materials, like those workbooks and things. I found a "high interest reading" workbook, but it was for middle school and it was too easy. I am looking for social studies, language arts, maybe science.
Does anyone have suggestions? I think that an official home school program just for casual summer learning isn't right for us. She's also going to take a GLL class.
Thanks!

Thanks, I will look for those, I think they even have a website.

I really like Word Within the Word books--very good for vocabulary development, etymologies, higher level thinking extensions. The writer has grammar, poetry, etc. books as well, but we haven't tried those

I have never seen this before, they look awesome. Thank you.

Our school uses the Word with the word books for accelerated language arts. DD's vocabulary has really developed this year and seems to like the curriculum. Otherwise they use the curriculum from the College of William and Mary Center for Gifted Education. I believe these can be purchased by parents as well.

Interesting (College of William and Mary) - thank you.

Same problem with me. I flew through my 8th grade reading section, and I got most everything either averagely or right, especially on the writing section. Are there any English practice books for tenth graders, because my teacher only really has enough funding for eighth grade books (his school isn't as widely recognized as the other schools in my state, and the Board of Id is to stupid). (Get it? Board of Idiocy! Sorry if that was offensive...) It also has to have a writing section, and not just one of those critical writing essays where you bash the author left and right (I'm too nice...and I can only see themes that others' see as wrong, such "Much Ado About Nothing" seems to have a strong emphasis on feminism, and "The Tempest" saying that Caliban shouldn't be pitied, for I just thought that Ariel was kind of uninteresting...)
