Have you looked at the placement chart for help?

I'm sure some others who are using those programs can help out more.

My daughter is coming up on 5 yrs old and is sounding out cvc and most ccvc, cvcc words. (We've just been using phonics books to teach her) We need to work on sight words and all those rule breaking words. Any suggestions for a a program or a way to teach those items?

We love Little Hands to Heaven. My 4 yr old daughter is asking to do her school work every day now. Before she would ask to do anything but school. We find it's just enough structure to ease into the homeschooling journey and it's a lot of fun. My 2 year old son enjoys doing some of the activities w...

I'm so glad you found a way of life schooling that your boys are enjoying! It's exciting to see kids enjoy and learn at the same time.

Congrats on your choice. We just started it with my 4 yr old DD and she asks for more every day. I think you'll be happy using this program. Instead of gift certificates, could you just put that money in an envelope until you have enough to buy? Then you could buy from where ever you want. Also as a...

I would think it would depend on the child. My DS is 2yrs (in Jan) and is no where near ready to do LHTH. He does like the songs and thinks the activities are funny. But he is not getting anything out of it. Which is ok, since it's meant for my DD who is 4.5 yrs. My teo are polar opposites. DD very ...

Welcome Erin! We're still new to hmeschooling, but I will share one thing I've learned. Don't compare yourself (or your kids) to others to much. It leads to frustration and unwanted expense (and stress) of curriculum hopping. I bought LHTH a few years ago, but got sucked in by 2 bigger names. Bought...

Instead of using my own spread sheet or database, I've used librarything.com to store all our books. It's a great way to organize your books and it has a search tool on it so you can search for the book title, or in my case, I can search under each curriculum to find all the books for that program. ...

I'm glad you got your boxes. Though I must say, I'm just a little jealous. I love box day!

"waving" Hi Kay! Glad to see you made it here.

Welcome Christa.

Hi! I'm Crystal mom to Kaitlyn (4yrs) and Andrew (2yrs). I unveiled last week. I'm still waiting for my box of goodies with LHTH and LHFHG to come.

Hi Ladies!
I've been lurking for awhile now trying to figure out if LHFHG is what we wanted to use for our K year. Since I just placed an order, I thought I'd come and officially say hi. Thanks for all the info I've been able to get through previous posts. I'm looking forward to our K year!

Thanks for the info on pullets.

Thanks Melanie for the joke. My DD has been doing it all afternoon!

Can I ask, what is the advantage of stretching this for a two year program? I have a DD who will be 5 when we start LHFHG and just assumed we would do one program a year. At that rate will she not be ready for some of the other programs? Sorry I'm a little confused.

I love using motivated moms! I buy the bible reading version each year. It's such a small price to pay to have a company ready house in a moment's notice.
