how about english at multiple levels?
Hi,
Any suggestions for how you teach multiple levels of English studies when you have several students? In-depth reading of the literature selections with 3, 4, or even 5 students (which is what I'll be doing in about 5 years) seems impossible. Math, writing, Latin, and history all lend themselves to enough student independence to be able to move from student to student during these subjects. But I don't see how to do that with the literature selections. I could use some advice from the veterans.
Thanks,
Abbi
How did it turn out?
Hi, I was just reading the forum & wondering if you figured out a good way to do the multiple levels thing...I also have multiple ages (3rd grade, Kindergarten, 3, 1, & 1 on the way) and just wondered if you have any words of wisdom or scheduling suggestions? I'm just beginning LCC though I have been homeschooling for years using WTM. Thanks!

Two possible helps...
1) groups students close in age together and
2) use audio books.
There are some good literature guides out there, too, if you're spread too thin. Kolbe Academy's are inexpensive, and I'm pretty sure they have guides that cover most or all of the LCC selections. That would allow older students to work more independently.
HTH!
