RSRH describes the project that becomes Horeb in the 10th letter.

that's a logical continuation.<br><br>

It's our mussar seder. So far the book he's resonated best
with is the <br>
Rambam's Shmonah Perakim, but I'm trying to give him an overview of many

different approaches.</blockquote><br>
Why not choose something else written by RSRH, since it seems that
your son has enjoyed learning the Nineteen Letters? <br><br>
I would suggest something "not too involved" like The Jewish
Sabbath which is available for download at no cost at
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/7e27gow" eudora="autourl">
http://tinyurl.com/7e27gow</a> This book is not too
long. It will give him a philosophical understanding of what
keeping Shabbos is all about. <br><br>
There is also the Hirsch Siddur which contains RSRH's commentary on
Pirkei Avos. You might want to just go through Rav Hirsch's
commentary on Pirkei Avos with your son or study some of his commentary
on davening. <br><br>
