    This is my first time doing CM and using a SCM guide.  We are around lesson 35.  I have a few questions.

    First, I and my children are really struggling to get through A Traveler in Rome.  My children are 5 and 8.  My 8 year old daughter usually loves ALL books, especially when they are read aloud.  Neither of us get much out of the book though.  I really struggle with the pronunciation on many words and I feel like we are just “getting through it”.  Is there anything  anyone would sugest that we could replace it with?  It is a very unique book so it may be hard to find something else similar, but what are others using if not this?

    Secondly, I was unable to find Growing up in Ancient Rome and started the year without anything to take it’s place.  Now I feel like we are really missing out on learning about the lifestyle.  Are there any suggestions for books that could take the place for this one?  I am hoping I could find it at our library.

    I would love to hear what others do, especially for this Module.  Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

    Thank you,

    Angel –

    I can’t speak to the first part because I did ancient stuff before we started SCM.  

    For your second question – we used, and liked, Usborne’s Time Traveler book for learning about ‘growing up in ancient Rome’.  Along with Detectives in Togas and Mystery of the Roman Ransom I felt like we covered it fairly well.  My boys were 6 at the time.
