What ages is Literary Lessons from LOTR geared towards?

My older two will be turning 11 & 12 next year. Do you think that this is too young?

Thanks,

I don't think so - the site says 12-18. You may want to ask on the Highschool board. I think more have used it over there.

Cheers!

I used it last year (2007) with my then 11 and 12yos, and we got a lot out of it. Probably we would have got even more out of it if they were older, but I was very happy with our year with the program. I picked and chose what we did from the program...all the worksheets and tests were too much, but we are not very good at worksheets and tests around here. I kept it fun, by reading aloud, and after the first couple of months of trying it all, we just did the "core" of the program, and some vocabulary, and I made up some writing assignments, art assignments etc . It was very doable and we learned a lot of literary analysis quite painlessly.

I am just beginning this w/ my dc 10 & 12. We will do it orally. I bought the TM used from a mom here. I bought the audio cd's of the trilogy from another mom here. As I said in a prior post, "Middle Earth, here we come!" :)
