I want to order the Genesis-Deut and Ancient Egypt for next year and I want to get all the books that go with it. My boys will be 4th and 2nd grade next year. My youngest is not reading yet. Can anyone help me figure out what all I need to order. I want to have all the books here at my house and not have to depend on trying to find something at the library.
I did email SCM but wanted to ask here too in case they are busy.
You can order the actual History Modules on this site, but the books that go with it are to be borrowed from your library or bought on your own. I usually look for used books in very good condition on sites like Amazon.
I really wanted info on what books would go with the histroy modules and I want to buy them. I want to have them here at my home since I am library challenged. 😉
I was hoping someone knew which books SCM recommends for the history. I get confused looking at the site trying to figure it out.
Does SCM sell all the books you need? I can’t seem to find them on the site. I can’t figure it out and I can’t find a search engine to search the site. I liked the site better before the change. I am having a hard time figuring it out. I think I may just need to spend a day trying to figure it out.
Hi Kim – Here is the complete list of books for the Module. SCM does not sell all the needed books, so I put (SCM) after the ones the SCM sells. I usually get my books through Amazon, Abebooks, or used.addall.com. I hope this helps you!
