What is the difference between each of the SOW years or volumes?
SOW I does not mean grade 1, SOW II does not mean grade 2, SOW III does not mean grade 3, and so on. Remember, the SOW Curriculum is a non-graded curriculum. This means that SOW I is the edition or volume to be used first by the whole family, regardless of age or abilities. Then when SOW I is completed, the family completes SOW II, and then SOW III, so on and so on, till all six years are completed. To make it a twelve year curriculum, the family is to repeat the same six years again. (What they have learned and how they have learned it will not be the same at five years of age as when they repeat the SOW at 12 years of age. So there is no fear of boredom.) Though the SOW Curriculum is designed best to be used together as a family, after purchasing all six volumes, you may choose to use the volumes in any order, with one or all of your students, or each student using a different volume.
