Blessed by Bible Study

I wanted to get back into the HOD groove a little while I patiently wait for the funds to purchase the new guides I will be using for the rest of this school year and next year. I began looking through the guides I already have to see what inspiration would hit. I wanted something I could do with my...

Beggining HOD with High Schooler

After a chaotic semester of trying to make my own plans, I'm returning to HOD. I was crazy to leave and I've definitely learned my lesson. My Kindergartener will begin Little Hearts and my 7th grader will begin Res to Ref in the next few weeks. Over last summer our situation changed a bit. My husban...

Re: If you doubt dictation.....

That is so encouraging! :) For those of us that struggled to give up spelling for only dictation, hearing how successful it can be reassures us that we are on the right path after all. Thank You.

Re: Newbie- Can u use guide as planner?

I use it as a planner too. If there is anything I want to add, like the specific math lesson we are on or extra reading, I add a post-it note to the page with the information on it. I also write down the DITHOR lesson we are on and the chapter I want my dd to read on post-its. Later, the post-its ca...

Re: Language scheduling in Creation to Christ

I am in a similar position with my dd. I chose Rod and Staff 4 because my dd hadn't had much writing instruction. She enjoys writing, but I could see where improvements could easily be made with some quality lessons. She did well with the grammar instruction with CLE last year, but there was little ...

Re: Using DITHOR 4/5 for a 6th grader?

I'm using DITHOR 4/5 for my 6th grader. Part of the reason was because I didn't want to use the 6/7/8 level for three years. The other part is because this is our first full year using DITHOR and I wanted my daughter to get used to the kind of thinking it requires. This isn't the fill in the blank, ...

Re: What to do with Speech delayed 3 yo

My dd was speech delayed due to hearing difficulties when she was young. She also has a short attention span (diagnosed ADD). She is now 14, but when she was young she struggled a lot. One of the things that helped her enormously was repetition. I am currently doing LHTH with my four year old. While...

Re: New Homeschooling Mom-- discipline

When I first brought my dd home, it was a novel experience for her as well as me. She was excited about being homeschooled, and it felt strange for us both for her not to go to school. She loved that she could ride her bike on "recess". :) However, after a few weeks, the novelty wears off. At the ti...

Re: Yearly Testing

This is so encouraging. I have a choice whether to test or not. This year, I am choosing to not test. I have the results from last year. I want to give HOD more time to see the growth since we've only been consistent with it a semester. The results you posted, though, show me we are on the right tra...
