See how far you can get on this word list. My daughter was able to read the grade 5 and 6 list pretty easily which means that maybe I should step it up some more. Of course, that means more work for me but it also reminds me not to go too easy on her.

I’ve been thinking about going towards the Charlotte Mason approach via an altered Ambleside Online approach. I don’t know yet. She’s doing so well but I feel as if I am not challenging her enough. My biggest fear in homeschooling has always been that I would not recognize her talents and nurture them sufficiently and at the same time be hands-on and creative without burning out or overwhelming her. Any thoughts? Has Ambleside worked for you?
