Carrie I think that defintely we would benefit with having the books here (if I hide them up in a closet somewhere)...and that's what I would like to do...but then I don't know what to order...my dd7 would definitely prefer level 2 pack...she is a great reader...but still prefers some pictures etc.....

I agree with Beyond...this year we did Beyond with 6 and 8 year old...and it was a perfect fit...we really had a great time and I can see how they have gained many skills that will enable them to be successful with Bigger in the fall.

Hello ladies...so I will be starting DITHOR with my two daughters this coming year...maybe this summer. They are just finishing Sonlight's Readers 2 Intermediate...which seems maybe a bit harder than the emerging readers from HOD...I'm not sure? I feel like they can pretty much read anything now...b...

I say Reading Made Easy as well. I'm working very slowly through RME with my son...so I can't say that I have used the entire books successfully yet. However, I have used many other reading programs and this one makes sense to me...lots of different activites to teach the different concepts. Also sh...

Here's our week....only 3 weeks left of Beyond...I cannot believe it!!

rni's mommy I don't know if this helps or not...but when we switched to HOD last fall...my dh and I really sat down and talked about what we wanted our hs to look like, what we wanted our children to get out of it....and after reading some posts/blogs from the ladies here...and I think specifically ...

Tamara, I would love to see some of those samples....my email is joyal99@msn.com Thanks so much! We are working very slowly...and I can't wait to get my hands on those workbooks!! I'm loving RME...will they be availabe only from her site first...do you know? Or will we be able to get them here....an...

I love to see the pics of the guides that I will be doing some day....AWESOME ladies...you look like you have SO much fun!

I'm working through GHILLM and it is life altering for me...I can't even do it every day bc I need time to ponder and think about each "lesson." It has been awesome!!! Enjoy!

Thanks again ladies...I did shorten her copy work today...but after reading this again...I think I will make it even shorter. I did print some things off of StartWrite and she really seemed to slow down and try really hard to do well...she does have a get it done attitude and is just good at most of...

Thanks ladies....this is just what I needed to hear. I really work hard at not comparing my children...so please know that when I typed that message...it was just that all of a suddent I panicked that something else was wrong...or I had failed her somewhere...I am thankful for their differences...it...

Okay ladies...I so value your insight on everything...so I decided to start here...I have been really worrying lately about my dd6 (7 in May) handwriting ...it has truly made little to no improvement from when she started writing. I was really thinking of not putting her in Bigger with her sister bc...

...or I was wondering if I could beef up LHFHG for her bc there are many parts of that she would really like....
