Here are some resources we’ve found helpful in the Middle School Years (6th-8th Grades) and in High School (9th-12th):
Curious Homeschool Tip: The following books can often be used for a range of ages, depending on each student’s particular strengths. Sometimes a student will advance through a series or subject area more quickly; other students will need more time. Do not worry about a certain grade level for a certain age, if at all possible. Only make sure that the child is understanding what they are learning and that they are progressing. If you find that a certain curriculum doesn’t work for your child, don’t be afraid to look for a different one. Find what works for each child.
