We just finished up K with my dd5. For phonics we used TRL along with explode the code books 1-3. We would do a couple of pages in the TRL and later do a couple of pages in the ETC books. She is progressing and we just started the emerging reader set starting with The Early Readers Bible (She really...

I think they are different books. The "Bud & Me" book I have has 162 pages and the ISBN# is 0-9662166-0-1 (1998). When I googled "The Abernathy Boys" a different book came up with a totally different cover.

Himfirst01, Thanks so much!!!!!!

Can you please tell me which order the extension pack books are used. Also the order the Option 1 History Interest books are used. I am trying to collect these over time, but want to make sure I have the books I need when it' time to use them.
Thanks!!

I used the notebook when we did BHFHG and like you mentioned it's under the right "letter" but not in alphabetical order. This year with PHFHG I chose the index cards because I felt my ds would benefit from more practice alphabetizing and it has worked great. I would say if he doesn't need the extra...

Aww, I was hoping to get to meet you this year at the HEAV Convention!!! Maybe next year

We are on Unit 23, Day 3 the independent history study. Does anyone have a picture of their map for this notebook page? The copy of Leif the Lucky we are using is the older 1941 version and doesn't have this listed. Thanks!!

Thank you so much Julie for the update. I will keep you all in my prayers. I pray for a quick recovery so things will get back to normal for Carrie and her family.

Thanks for the info.... I also have a DS with ALL nut and egg allergies.

I am also having the same problem with Preparing. I love the program but it taking us a while to complete. We usually have to use Friday to catch up where we fell behing in the week to keep us on schedule. I am also doing LHFHG with my DD and that is going good. I have no problems getting it done. I...

Hi Heather. We did Bigger last year and loved it!! I will let you know what we used. For History, 3-ring binder, For Science 3-ring binder divided into sections, bible we used index cards and punched holes to put them on a ring each week after they were completed, Vocabulary we used a composition no...

For the research skills part of Preparing does anyone have a certain encyclopedia that worked well for them or one you could recommend? My son will be turning 9 soon after we start Preparing this year.

Thanks!!

My son had the same issues and I was getting very frustrated too. Then I read an article by Diane Craft as the previous poster stated. I found out that he wasn't lazy but has dysgraphia. I have also been working with him to help him overcome this issue. You might want to read the article by her "Sma...

You are going to lover Bigger :D. We are almost done and have had a great year with it!! What we found to work best for us is History & Science is a 3 ring binder where we could put in lined or plain paper as needed and could easily replace a page if there was a mess up :? . For vocabulary just a pl...

I am currently using Growing with Grammar 3 with my DS who is eight and in the third grade. We were already using this when I decided to switch to HOD. We are on unit 14 of Bigger and I really like it :D . I am getting my books together for next year (Preparing) and was wondering if anyone else was ...
