Hello! My son will be coming back home this year and back to HOD! He has been in school the last 3 years. So where do we start with dictation? He will be in 7th grade in the fall. Do we just start in the beginning at level one? He was doing it before he went to school. Any help would be great :D Sally

Hello! After 3 years of being in a christian school I am bring my son home again and back to HOD! In the school where he is they are using Abeka for math. The teacher that he has had this year has not been very helpful and he is struggling to say the least. I am trying to decide where to place him. ...

Thank you guys so much for your reply's! I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row for the NCAA and not sacrifice my son's education.

My son will be entering 9th grade in the fall and we will be using the World Geography guide.I am trying to plan ahead. He would like to play baseball in college and I really need some help maneuvering the NCAA. I have called them to ask for a list of approved or banned curriculum and they can't giv...

Thanks you guys so much for your encouragement! I was considering stopping where we are and restarting but if 6 is a repeat maybe I will reconsider and not torture him

My son is using English 5 and is not retaining. He has used 3 and 4 also. We do most of it orally, do the review at the beginning, and some written. I have bought the workbooks that go along with them in the past. He is in 7th grade this year and I am getting concerned. I'm not sure what to do next....

Thank you so much for responding! I always know I can get great answers to help me work through things from this board! Maybe I will save them for next summer to read and to keep it all fresh;) Thanks again!

Hello! I am getting ready to purchase RTR for my son next year going into his "6th" grade. He has done HOD since Beyond. Every year I get the extension books for him and he really enjoys them! As he is getting older I wasn't sure if it will be too much of a workload. He just reads them and we just t...

Thanks Julie! I just couldn't find it! So grateful for this board!

does anyone know if there is a post for half pace for bigger? i would love to see how others break it down. I have decided to split my two boys who i had combined (8 and 10) i'm bumping the older up to preparing and slowing down my younger so bigger takes us another year. thank you

we read this as an extra too and my boys still sing "i eat my peas with honey" at least once a day!! would have never found this book. thanks for all the great book lists!

we are now doing beyond with my 7(1st) and my 9(3rd) my question is do i go on to bigger or wait a year? see i would like to keep them together, using the extensions with my older. everyone seems to think it is best to start preparing when in 4th grade i do not want to rush my younger one, beyond wa...

so we will be finishing up Squanto soon and i was wondering if anyone has seen any videos out there on him? I saw one from disney and some gave good reviews and others said there was no historical accuracy. so not sure. looked on PBS and they don't seem to have anything either.

pjdobro your right i think i'll reuse his readers from last year(i saved them all) and grab some easier stuff i don't think he's ready either. it's funny you say that about the pictures today he was looking at them instead of the words! and for his poetry i had to cover all the other sentences and j...
