[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For parents of kids in AAP grades 3-8:

1) Do your kids get assigned novels to read?  If so, how many and which ones? What grades are these assigned?

Yes, in both 3rd and 4th grade so far.  Three in 3rd grade, 4th grade has more choice--don't know how many.  This was true also for my older--novels each grade.

2) Do your kids discuss novels they've read in class?
Yes.  In 3rd grade this was done with the teacher as a group.  In 4th grade they have small reading circles and trade off taking leadership of discussion (they have a packet where they write down their discussion prompts/questions when they are leader).  The reading groups are based on which book you are interested in reading not level for literature.

3) Is Caesars vocabulary effective?
Yes, very.  Kids develop a good sense of words, use of words in context, strategies to understand novel words etc.

4) Do your kids learn any history outside of American history or Native American history?  If so, what history do they learn and which grade(s)?
Yes.  I can't remember exactly, but there's ancient civilizations from multiple continents and European history also.

Thank you![/quote][/quote]
