Deciding between CTC and RTR
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2010 11:24 am
Hi Carrie or Julie,
What would be the deciding factor between these two programs? I have a daughter 11, turning 12 next Feb. (will be grade 7 next year) who is a very independent reader and writer (has finished Ignite your Writing vol. 1 and 2 this year). She joined her younger sisters with Bigger this year and added the Extensions as well as an Abeka textbook on Am. history just so I could keep them all together. She finished Growing with Grammar 6. She also is finishing the Apologia Botany program fairly independently. She hasn't done Ancients since grade 1 and 2 where we did Story of the World so she could definately benefit from doing CTC especially since it's from a more biblical viewpoint. I guess what I"m saying is probably skill-wise she's ready for RTR but content wise hasn't done CTC so would I be "holding her back" if I stuck with CTC next year? I guess what I'm saying is do you think CTC will be challenging enough for her? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shannon
