We are using Preparing for all four. Ages 9,13,14,14. Because we have learning disabilities to work with academically my older two are more at a 10 and 12 year old level.

Well thats doable. No rhyme nor reason. I was just going left to right and didnt think out of the box.
I just asked them if they wanted to get the workbooks out of the way first and they of course said YES!

We have been having a bit of difficulty with getting going. While I have home-schooled in the past it was not these children and not using the CM method. All of the ten years I schooled at home I used workbooks and textbooks. This is my first experience with this method. The difficulty is mine I bel...

I recently received Preparing. I am using it for all of my kids. They are really loving it. Due to some unforeseeable situations (oral surgery and post-op infection for me, flu for several kiddoes, Spring break for HubbyMan and beautiful warm sunny days that we just have to get out and play in) we h...

Oh my I cant even say. WE are having so much fun with Preparing. Even my reluctant learner is enjoying it. They love Grandpas Box!! They love the drawing and listening to me read. I have broken it up so that a workbook page comes in between each reading and activity. This is our second day. We are g...

Yes I was informed by dd that she is reading one already. Guess that one will be her first book for reading.

After spending all weekend pouring over my new books all I can really say is I am very impressed with the quality of the books I received. These are books that I will keep on my shelves for a long long while. Again Carrie, thank you.

Ive bought notecards and file boxes and a few spiral note books for each child.
What else will I need to fill out my curriculum?

Thanks Kasey

Yes!!! They're coming. They are on their way. Just got confirmation that my boxes have been shipped. Three of them. I am soooo excited I cant wait!!! I keep looking for my mailman. Yesterday we received my sons birthday present and today a friend came to the door right at the time the mailman was to...

I liked easy Grammar, That is what we did years ago when I was first homeschooling. I am picking it up again with this new batch of kiddos.

Good question.
My daughter wants to read the read-alouds to the boys. They are all in Preparing. Waiting along with you for answers.
