I'm about to post more details over in another forum, but when my kids were that age, we did almost no formal anything. Maybe 20 or 30 minutes a day four times a week. We took a lot of trips to museums, and we did a lot of projects. For example, when we learned about ancient Egypt, we mummified a chicken. We read a lot of Egyptian mythology, and we watched documentaries about the pyramids on Netflix. We practiced writing our names in heiroglyphics. When we studied the Vikings, we read a lot of Norse mythology, and we brewed our own mead. We also did science experiments, spent lots of time at the library, and listened to a ton of audio books. Neither of mine were reading at that age.
Neither of my EG/PG kids have ever been very on fire about academics. My daughter loves to read science fiction and fantasy, and she has read a ton. My son likes to draw, design video games, and make animated movies. We have done the bare minimum of formal academics, and my daughter met or exceeded the DYS cuts on the EXPLORE this year on 4 out of the 5. I just offer that because I think that PG kids can learn really, really well with a minimum of structure.
