    Has anyone used this curriculum? Queen homeschool loved it and recommends it. It looks like it starts at middle school level, fractions and decimals, then goes on to algebra with a combo prealgebra/biology book as well. Looks like it is pretty interesting and written as a narrative more than a traditional text. Just wondering what your thoughts are? My dd is using Teaching Textbooks right now and enjoying that but it never hurts to be prepared, life of Fred goes all the way to college level..

    If you do a forum search on “Life of Fred”, you’ll come up with several posts about it.

    I’m thinking about using it as a supplement for my children. A math living reader, so to speak; I haven’t decided yet. I think my son would just enjoy it as a free read, whereas my dd may get a particular usefulness from it, as she struggles in math. Though I”d like the first four books to TG’s, or I may not be able to use them.Undecided

    I’m glad to see an early series developing, that way I can get her started sooner. I was hoping for that.
