Love your videos!! I was wondering if there is a certain number of sentences you require for copy work? Is copywork each day?

Thank you! I have my kids do copywork 2-3 times a week. Generally I let them choose, and it ends up being a quote they particularly enjoyed. Usually it’s one sentence, but sometimes it can be a few, depending on the quote.

Do you read all these books outloud to your daughter or does she read all this herself? If you are reading these outloud how do you manage reading different level books to each kiddo timewise? Do you have family readalouds from history or science or is everyone doing their own thing?

The ones that I mentioned she does independently are fully her (like Princess & the Goblin). The rest we mostly read together. We’ll take turns and read a paragraph or 2 each. Exceptions to that would be Tales from Shakespeare, Parables from Nature, and Pilgrim’s Progress. With those, it’s better for me to read and her to listen and follow along with her eyes.

And at first I didn’t notice the second part of your comment, sorry! Time wise, I schedule blocks throughout the day. I usually work with my youngest first because he’s my early riser. Then my second grader. By that time we have breakfast and morning chores. When we come back together, we do our family lessons like Bible and the riches. Then I work with my older two (4th and 5th grade) individually. For example today, we’ve finished everything except for my 5th grader’s lessons with me. The kids are about to eat lunch, and then I’ll work with him. And I have a family read aloud that I read to them during lunch. But it’s not history or science. It’s an extra just for fun book. Each of them have history and science of their own.

You often mentioned year 3 but your title says 4th grade. So she is in 4th grade but you’re using AO 3 is that right? 😅 Sorry, I’m new to it all and my daughter is 9 almost 10 but I was contemplating putting my daughter in A03 next year (in Australia we tend to school Jan -Dec) so next year for me start in late Jan. I’m using the end of this year to wrap up curriculum I’m already using and educating myself all things AO. Loving your videos!

Yes! She’s in 4th grade, and we’re using year 3 of AO. When we started last year, it was perfect to put her in year 2. The main thing is making sure your child is stretched and challenged but not overwhelmed. So when I looked at the books last year, it made the most sense to put her in year 2. And it worked out well for where I wanted her in history.
