Has anyone used Cheerful Cursive with a left handed student?

I am looking at going with HWT as I know it is designed to be easy for a left handed student. I have no experience with CC and have not seen it IRL so I do not know if is ok to use with leftie.

We do not buy any action figures etc. for boys. We have chosen to find appropriate heroes for our boys rather than the junk and truly evil stuff that is out there nowdays. We have a CD by a Christian children's musician here in Australia called Super Saviour. We had a super hero dress up day at Chur...

My Fathers Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett. Loved it! I did this my my 7 year old DS and he loved it.

We live in Australia. If I saw that word I would think of a young cheeky child. That being said it is a few years since we read Reddy Fox. I would possibly change the word when I read it.

Enjoy you year ahead!

The No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley is a great option if you want to start working with your baby toward a more scheduled day. It breaks my heart to hear about babies left to cry it out. Personally I struggle to see Jesus in the room letting that little one cry. We have a 9 month old in t...

Thanks. All very helpful suggestions.

Hi, I have used LHFHG and parts of Beyond with my DS . This year I started him in Bigger but he was NOT happy with the amount of writing. I ended up stopping the program after 2 weeks and switching to some unit studies and another program. I really like HOD and I would like to attempt Bigger next ye...
