I'm thinking of using CTC for my 10 y.o., but I'm not sure what I need to buy. I'm trying not to go overboard w/spending, as I still need to buy curriculum for my other 4 dc. If I can only buy one book pack, should I buy the history or boy's interest pack in the CTC Basic Package, OR the DITHOR 4/5 package?? Can you do DITHOR with the CTC books, or no? Any suggestions??
Also, how much will my son miss if we don't buy the science? I've already bought the Apologia Zoology 1 (birds, bats, etc.) and was thinking to use that with all of the children, but am wondering what he will "miss" by not doing the CTC science?? It saves me $90 to not have to buy the science, but wanted to see what you all think.
Thank you!
), and it links to the history. DITHOR is awesome, and you can use any book with it. So, I'd start with the books you have on your shelves at home and sort them into genres, and fill in with what's missing. You could just buy 1/2 of the DITHOR set too, because it's only scheduled 3 x a week in CTC, and that means you'll get through 4-5 genres in the year = 4-5 books. So, that's a super easy way to save too!
