Rejoicing with you and maybe a little GREEN with envy. I'm trying to wait patiently for the homeschool convention to get here in April so I can buy my stuff. Atleast I get to meet Carrie and Julie in person though, so I'm sure that's worth the wait!!!

Just wondering how long each of these take each day? Reading for both my dc has really taken off the last couple months. My dd will be in first next year and I believe is ready now for the emerging readers. How long will that approx. take with her each day? It doesn't appear it would take that long ...

I too was wondering if these were included somehow in the higher grades. I didn't necessarily think so from the website and catalog, but didn't know for sure. Love any info on this as well.

We're not officially HOD users yet, but are looking forward to purchasing it in April at the Cincinnati Convention. I too carry the catalog around with me a ton. I've officially suggested it to atleast two people so far as well which might be crazy since I've never officially used it, but it looks l...

Just wanted to say that I love your weekly reviews, ladies!!! I always look forward to Fridays so I can read about and see all the wonderful things you've done with your dc. It's my prayer that this next year, I will be reporting in here with all the wonderful HOD things I'm doing with my dc.

Thanks for taking time to reply, ladies. It sounds very doable.

Just wondering about how much time the extension package books add on to the schedule time wise? Like Bigger says it will take approx. 3 1/2 hrs to complete, so if a child were to do the extension pack how much time would be added on to that? Thanks for any info.

I do believe that's exactly how it works.

We've never read Pagoo, but we have read Paddle to the Sea by the same author, and we loved it!!!! It also made me want to read his other books as well.

Praying for your mother.

Thanks for sharing. I love family history as well. I really enjoyed hearing about your family.

Laura, Thanks for the reply. I'll take time to look at the link. We currently use dictation in a spelling program now. It's a way a reviewing his spelling words or even testing them. I dictate sentences to him to write, etc. I could not figure out what "studied dictation" was, but your explanation e...

I had originally thought if it's the Lord's will for us to use HOD next year, that I would continue with our current spelling program (Spell to Write and Read). It is pretty time intensive, but has been effective in getting my ds to really analyze words and he's done really well. To be honest, it's ...

This was a blessing to hear!!! Rejoicing with you!

You can see samples of the Pathway Readers . I just bought grades 1 and 2. We are enjoying them very much. I will buy grade 3 at Convention in April. On that site, they are grouped as a set, but when you click on the year you want, you can scroll down through and find the readers. Click on it, and t...
