My daughter will be 14--last year she completed Starting Points--which is a dawning world view curriculum. I loved it because she read really good literature and also did alot of writing. I am considering Lightening LIt by Hewitt Publishing. any relieve would be appreciated.

Lightning Lit is enthusiastic. I also like that you can have the course work graded by Hewitt if you want, I plan to assign my own grades, and then compare what she gets with Hewitt's moral to see if I am in the ballpark as far as grading compositions. The great thing (IMO) about Lightning Lit is the depth of the composition work, combined with the over of so many great books. My 14 yr old daughter will be taking Lightning Lit next year for 9th grade, she'll be reading Ben Franklin's Autobiography, Life story of Frederick Douglass, The Scarlet Letter, Moby Dick, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Huck Finn, The Call of the Primitive, and Red Badge of Courage.

Plus I recently received the guides, I can't believe how wonderful and complete the composition instruction is, it covers so much! There are choices too, the Lessons give a directory of options for most writing assignments, so a child might choose between writing an essay, a poem, or a letter. It is a wonderful program, if you do it you'll honey it.

Omnnibus from Veritas Put through a mangle is also very good. I'll have to check out Lightning Lit - I hadn't seen that one!

You could monitor out Sonlight's catalogue http://www.sonlight.com and see their recommendations. Also, I had a look once at Learning Language Arts through Literature for the high school level and it looked quite decent, but not having used it, I'm really not sure.
