I've never heard of one. It would be wonderful if there were.

I've not heard of one but if you have a student who has learning challenges, Spielvogel's The Human Odyssey would be a better choice for high school.

We used HO for dd#2 and Spielv's World History (college level) for dd#1. Both were good fits.

No learning challenges. (And, actually, I still haven't decided what to use. Yes, I know it's getting close!!!!)

But, I did just watch IEW's "Competent Communicators" DVD, and Mr. Pudewa was extolling the virtues of reading out loud as much as possible, even in high school. I *do* plan to continue Read Alouds, but then I thought if I could buy CD's of ds's history and science texts (and maybe borrow some lit from the library), that would force my ds to read more slowly and be building up what Mr. Pudewa referred to as a "database" of literary patterns. (As well as addressing the problem of knowing a word when reading, but not *really* knowing how to pronounce it - or does that only happen to us? LOL)

I did find the Apologia CD for science. I suppose I can fill in history with some videos.

Anyway...back to planning! Thanks!!
