Are you looking for a quality English program for your middle schooler?
We discovered Oak Meadow Homeschool Curriculum when my daughter was in the elementary years. We loved using Oak Meadow for social studies and English starting in 4th grade and all the way up through the high school years.
AND Their middle school English courses were some of our favorites!

Oak Meadow Publications was first started by a teacher who was trained in the Waldorf method. However they are very relaxed in their approach to Waldorf, and are also aligned to state standards. They grew to a large educational publishing company and now offer homeschool curricula for all subjects, from K - 12.

She enjoyed learning about plot, setting, point of view, and characterization. But she when she got to symbols, and foreshadowing, she was enthralled.
Oak Meadow 8 includes eight novels, grammar study, a number of writing assignments to choose from and more. The novels in this course include......
