Thanks for asking this!!

That is fantastic, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the sneak peaks Carrie! So, so, so appreciated!!

Another good one to consider is When Children Love to Learn: A Practical Application of Charlotte Mason's Philosophy for Today.

When my son did copy work in Beyond last year, he would copy directly from the guide. I didn't photocopy aanything. I had him write on handwriting paper, I don't think he was ready for notebook paper yet.

I completely agree! The hands-on is one of my favorite parts of HOD...they're fun for the kids and so easy for mom to implement! I also like that my kids have their own little acitivity everyday, it's something they don't have to share, lol.

This is very intereting because I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm using Bigger this year and plan on using Preparing next year. I'm loving Bigger! Anyway, I've been trying to assign my ds some 'independent' work everyday so he can get used to working independently. So far it's going we...

Hi there, R&S English is taught half-speed starting in CTC with R&S English 4 or 5. It's taught half-speed again in the folling guide, RTR. Then back to full speed in Rev to Rev.

This was the same conclusion we got too!

Congrats!!

Praying!

It is not essential since you can use one of the other two options for your end project. But I have to say that I really like it and I'm glad I bought it! The projects are fun and super easy to do. If you can afford spending the extra money, I highly recommend it.

Thank you everyone! I think I will go ahead and try R&S 3 and see how it goes.....
