Extension Package?

Post by John'smom » Tue Mar 09, 2010 7:43 pm

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. :D

Hi! We aren't using Bigger Hearts but we are using the Extension Package with Preparing. My son gives me oral narrations of his reading but I do not require him to write those up. I guess he probably spends around 15 minutes doing his reading and oral narration of the Extension books. He is a strong reader and loves to read. It may take a little longer if he didn't enjoy it.

Not Bigger Hearts but maybe that will give you an idea of what to expect.

I agree with Donna's estimation, including the consideration whether the child is a strong reader and narrator. :D Otherwise, it could take longer, though I wouldn't say any longer than (at the most) 25 minutes. :wink:
