History Odyssey question

[Parabola]

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew how compatible level one courses are with level two courses? I was hoping that it would be fairly easy to combine my children, using level one Ancients for my younger kids and using level two Ancients for my older child, for example. Does anyone know?

The chapters do not line up. You do cover basically the same information, but if you want the children studying the same things at the same times, you will have to re-order the chapters yourself.

I notice your signature line implies your oldest child is 7, is that correct? History Odyssey Level 2 is for fifth grade and up. I'm not sure if you meant you wanted to be able to use it that way now or in the future but I thought I would make a note of it just in case.

Each level uses different spines and that's why they don't line up. However, Level 2 is really intended for older children to use fairly independently. I prefer SOTW so I would use that with the younger set but that's just me, to each his/her own!

Yep, I know my kids are not ready for it, I'm just thinking ahead. Again.
And BTW, I see from YOUR signature that you have a Douglas Adams quote. He was a great and funny guy, wasn't he?

I think that although the HO levels don't match up exactly, I think they will lend themselves well enough that I will be able to teach history to all my children at once, which is what I need to be able to do.....4 years from now!

But actually its not thinking that far ahead because if we are going to use the series I would start my oldest on it next fall.

Thanks for your input ladies.
