Notes
[1] Prefer an updated Christian science reader? We recommend Patterns of Nature.
[2] Harvey's Elementary Grammar Series is more advanced and should be started in 4th grade, however you could adapt short lessons for the younger student.
[3] A few details in the geography books are out of date. We recommend that you get a world map and use an ink pen to update the text as needed.
^Consumable books less than 10%
