Adapting quest. from HS board: ~how many pgs/wk to read for logic stage students?

[Janie]

Approximately how many pages per week do you assign for reading in all subjects for your logic stage students?

Include history, literature, and any required "free" reading.

Thanks!

. . . I'll do it here, too, in case anyone who might find it helpful isn't reading the HS board one.

Here are my 10-year-old son's reading assignments for a typical week in the upcoming year:

34 pages of history

158 pages of history-related fiction

I don't assign free reading.

So, for history and literature, that's a total of 192 pages.

He will have other assigned reading, too:

18 pages of supplemental math reading ("living books" read alongside a traditional math curriculum)

29 pages of science

Total = 239 pages of reading for the week

Although the number of pages in each subject varies, the weekly total is roughly equivalent to what he did this past year:

62 pages of history

130 pages of history-related fiction

8 pages of science

Total = 200 pages for the week

I have no idea how many pages he did of free reading, but I went and counted the number of books he read for fun last year: 38.

Hope that helps.
