Ok, good advice! I think I am a little too worried about what to chose, since next year will only be our second year. You ladies are all so helpful to share your experiences. I think with my second son, I am anticipating him to possibly have problems writing and reading, when he really may not have ...

Thanks ladies! I think maybe if I can look at the books at some point that would help. Do they just teach a different "style" of writing? Or is the difference in how it is actually taught?? Do most of you teach cursive in second grade if using Bigger?...or wait till 3rd grade? Also, appreciate the i...

Just wanted to say our family is so sorry for the loss in your family. It is a blessing though when a saint is welcomed home after a struggle. I agree that God often does send us the exact verse that we need to see his grace in times of need. Saying prayers for you all.

Hi all! I have been enjoying reading all your posts, and the look at the new guide (even though we won't be using for a few years :D , it's still interesting to see and read everyone's thoughts on it. Anyway, looking ahead for our next yr....have some questions about the handwriting programs for LHF...

Thanks ladies! So helpful and encouraging

Hi all, Just wondering of those who have used LHFHG.. does it seem more fitted for a K program or 1st grade??.. I know it is child dependent, and there are options for both. My second son just turned 5 and will finish LHTH around May, and he is doing well with it...so deciding if we should go ahead ...

OK, so for some reason...the timing of things has just now added up for me. So, looking for any advice from any of you ladies that make it work! My oldest (will be 7 in May) will move into Bigger by end of summer/fall. My second son (5 yo) will move into LHFHG around May or June. But somehow I didn'...

Hi, I was pretty much in your position this time last year! So, thought I would share what helped me to figure out what to do. I would buy LHTH now, and start now with your 4yo. Try it out for a few months or so, get the feel of HOD. It is such a sweet and wonderful program. I actually started it ar...

I know the feeling. Sometimes our reading and verses seem meant just for me (and also good for dc too!) So good to get this from your own school program at home!

Interested to see suggestions when have multiple children.....In theory, doing LHTH twice sounds good, going through with different options .... but do you have time when running other guides with older dc??

Good suggestion!...I may do that, since we will be adding in LHFHG for my second son as well....it will be quite a bit of new!...thanks!

Good to know we can take our long break even without being finished with the guide. Sometimes I really have to step back and remember that hs'ing is not like ps, and we don't really have to follow their year or schedule... and can take our breaks whenever we want. I just didn't know if it is difficu...

Hi, Just wondering what your schedule for the year looks like when you do school 4 days/week? We have been doing Beyond and LHTH 4 days a week, we started mid July last year, and we were exactly half way through at Christmas break. We have been doing 6 weeks on, then taking 1 week off, with 2 at Chr...

Thanks!...those are very helpful suggestions. I will a little afraid it may be too much, but he has done so well with the ER, I think it will be good, especially with the options of how to slow down if needed. I am looking forward to seeing how he does next year!

Great question!...I am interested to see what other have done as well..i am thinking about this as well with my youngest...turning 3 in the fall...so glad you asked!
