Re: They all look good - help me pick my read-alouds!

My daughters favorite book so far was Helen Keller. That was the first book we read this year and she still talks about it. We are currently reading the Millers Missionary Stories for the nonfiction genre and her and my son both are liking it. My son is in kindergarten and I am reading him the Thort...

American Adventure Books

We are currently doing BLHFHG and are on unit 8. I just started reading my daughter the book The Mayflower Adventure from the American Adventure books series. It is correlating so nicely with what we are reading. Today for history we were reading about the babies born on the Mayflower and then when ...

Re: AD/HD??

I was concerned that my daughter who is five may have ADHD. My husband has been diagnosed with it and takes medication. When I was researching about it I found out that kids who have eye problems can have symptoms that mimic ADHD. I took my daughter to an eye doctor that specializes in vision therap...

Re: Those of you with special needs kids. Kind of long sorry!

I used the early intervention services with my son when he was three through the public school and was very disappointed. I also had him in private therapy. We adopted him through foster care so he also has a medicaid card. Our insurance and the medicaid covered him completely for the therapy. Now o...

just wanted to share

I just wanted to share what a great experience we are having with LHFHG. My daughter turned 5 in July and would have just made the cut off for public school around here. So I was not sure if she would be ready for LHFHG or not. She is doing fine. She loves it especially the bible stories. The other ...

update on daughters reading

I wrote earlier about being concerned daughter may be dyslexic (she would sound out a word like nap and then say pan). I took her to a developmental optometrist and started her on eye therapy once a month in the office and I do exercises with her daily. What a difference it has made. I didn't even p...

question for those who have a child with dyslexia

I have concerns that my five year old has dyslexia. I know she's young. I took her to an eye doctor because she said it looked like the words were moving on the paper. She was diagnosed with having double vision. She is going to need vision therapy. My youngest has apraxia and when I had her that th...

Re: Breaking up LHTH?

Sometimes I break it up and other times I do it all at once. I always do the bible story, finger play and song together and then if their is any dramatizations I do them. If their is an art activity I usually do that at a separate time with my other kids. Sometimes I do the letter activities separat...

We started LHFHG last week and finished the first unit this week. My daughter loved it. Today she didn't want to stop the history or the Reddy fox story. She has been getting so much out of the devotionals and asking me really good questions. She wanted to know how God could be alive if he was never...

I'm also in Ohio . . . the Columbus area. Are we anywhere near each other?

I live in a real small town about 20minutes from Bowling Green. Columbus is about two hours away.

I have had concerns about her speech since last year but the doctor she had at that time said she was fine and to wait and see. Well when I took her for the evaluation she tested in at about a 19month old for...
