No, not always quite this easy for him. He has gotten the hang of it though...sometimes he says he wants to do his school himself and will read over the boxes, sometimes he will read his Bible verse on his own. Should I up him to 5 days a week?....I have read several say its better to spread out Bey...

He read the ER books aloud at first.....but I didn't know they are to read aloud through the whole set....?...I was a little concerned at first, but he is always able to answer the comprehension questions, so I let him read to himself because he asks to...?...I will start doing together, I just wasn...

Hi all! We are on unit 26 of Beyond, and my son seems to be doing very well. He usually does his copy work and reading from the ERs set while I am doing LHTH with my younger son. So, the time I usually spend with him one on one has been running about an hour....is that sufficient? Unless there is a ...

Just wanted to share our experience .... This year was our first year as well....with a 6 yo and 4 yo like you. My older ds placed well in Beyond, so that's what we did for him this year, while placing my then 4yo in LHTH. It has been great, for all of us. I usually try to get my older ds started wi...

Hi all, Just thinking ahead for next yer for me second born son. He is 5 and will start LHFHG probably in July after we take a short break. He has some visual issues, but is very bright and doing well with LHTH. My oldest is doing 1A/1B with Beyond and doing pretty well with it, but I have not used ...

Love reading this! I too looked at MFW a lot before deciding on HOD. Love hearing input from those who have used both programs. HOD has been a good fit for us this year, and plan to use next year as well. Thought about using MFW K for my second son...but decided to go ahead with LHFHG maybe at a slo...

Just want to add a couple things I have learned this year that help us..... First, for breakfast....I make large batches of whole wheat waffles and freeze them. They can pop them in the toaster just like the store bought kind, but much cheaper, and better for you. I also freeze breakfast burritos yo...

I checked the placement chart again to be sure, and I think he does place in LHFHG. Especially by the time we are finished with LHTH Ina few months. I don't really want to try and figure out a different program....I showed him the catalog and he is excited to have his own books for K (plus the cover...

Ohh...forgot to mention we school 4days a week, and it has worked well this year. So I know that will naturally spread out the guides some. Another reason I am thinking of going straight into LHFHG......

Hi all, I have been thinking about what to do when my second son...now 5...finishes LHTH. I have read many posts on the topic and notice many don't start LHFHG at 5 , but instead wait till 6 for first grade. I have read some think the read alludes are a bit much for a 5yo, but what other reasons do ...

Hi, We are making it pretty well this first year, but some days are a bit of a struggle. So, wondering what you use to motivate or give as reward for having good attitudes and doing good work?? We don't eat much sweet around here, don't know that I want to be giving them sweets everyday.... but mayb...

Thanks so much, it helps a lot to see what each program is like. And to know what has worked well for others and their dc.

Thanks ladies for explaining this a little further. I can see why you add to the ER, I try to give my son other stuff to read as well....I may start looking at other suggestions as you mentioned. It's nice to have some guidance as to what books to choose for him. I had read also how Julie started DI...

Just a question for those responding..... Wy do you slow down the ER? We are doing The ER set now with Beyond with my oldest who will be 7 in May. I hadn't thought of slowing him down. I just assumed he would go into DITHOR when we start Bigger next year. Is this not a good idea? I just thought that...

Praying for your and your little one!... Just want to share some thoughts my doctor shared with me in a similar situation with my second.....which you may know, but keep in mind your due date could be off by as much as two weeks...depending on when little blessing was actually conceived. So, as scar...
