Traveling the Narrow Road 
Hello! Just purchased RC & am excited to print everything! My sons are 14 in 8th, 12 in 6th, and 6 in K. My main concern/question is where do I start everyone? Do I truly start them off at the beginning of the book list or pick up where their reading level is? With lookng at credits next school year shouldn’t I stay with a History theme (world/ancient), etc? It’s hard to pull away from what I’ve only been taught by using text books, but I am ready and only need to see a clearer picture of exactly and only using RC. Hope I’m not confusing! I would gratefully appreciate any direction or suggestions you have.
Sincerely,
Consuella

Hi, welcome to the RC journey! It is best to start as close to the beginning of the reading list as possible. Do not underestimate these vocabulary rich books, as they really are good for all ages. The older boys could probably get away with starting with the Tom Swift book series. As for history, there is a list available for the placing the history related books in chronological order. I choose to do this. This year was all about the 1800’s for us; between Civil War, Lewis and Clark, and slavery topics, that is a lot of reading. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail at sherihollinger@yahoo.com
or message me on facebook (usually a quicker response). Happy homeschooling!
Hi Sheri,
How did you put together Home Maintenance 101? Very cool!
Thanks,
Jenny
I simply let them be responsible (with guidance) on things that need to be done around the house, such as:
install a water purification unit, install a garbage disposal, clean gutters, fix toilets, replace light switches, paint, build decks, and light landscaping. Basically things they would need to know if they were on their own, so that they are better equipped to live independently when they are ready.
