Scope & Sequence
A note about Scope & Sequences: I recommend you use these as guidelines only to help you move in the direction of YOUR goals. Don't panic if your child doesn't match up to what someone else says they should by a certain grade. Think of your long-term goals. I personally know that by the time my kids are done homeschooling, it'll "all even out."
World Book Scope & Sequence This is a guide for what World Book thinks children should study in grades K-12. Very helpful, especially to those who design their own curriculum.
Core Knowledge Scope & Sequence K-8 The Core Knowledge Foundation is known for its What Your Nth Grader Needs To Know series of books (K-6th grades) available in virtually every bookstore.
