Thanks so much for your response!..I really appreciate the time to take my questions into consideration. I think i agree that Beyond is probably a better fit for my 6yo....i was kinda wanting to do LHFHG just for the Bible study, but i think he would be better off to be properly placed..as would I n...

ok, glad to share more..my oldest ds is going to be 6 in May..he is finishing K in ps, and like i mentioned is already a good reader..his teacher says he is reading past books that are half way through 1st gr. just read "Frog and Toad are Friends"..for example..with little help from me. math seems t...

Hi again, can't decide where to place my 6yo ds next yr..?...this will be our first yr hs..he is already an advanced reader. So, LHFGH (i like the Bible study)..can you use with Emerging Readers?...but afraid he is already past this skill level and may not be challanged?...or Beyond..maybe a better ...

Thanks!..that helps more to think of just the age ranges, then figuring out what "grade" he should be in. just seems like a big responsibility, to make sure i "place" him where he needs to be to get the most out of the guides. this being our first year hs, i don't know if i would be able to change a...

Thanks so much!...after my last posting, i had actually decided to order LHTH for my 4 yo son....i felt this would give me a better idea of what he is ready for, and what he already knows...also, i wanted to see how HOD actually works. i think this was a good decision!..we received the program yeste...

I am looking to start HOD with my 6 yo in the fall..but having alot of trouble with where to place him. He is an advanced reader in K right now, ans writes well....but i seem to get the impression from others that if i place him in Beyond (where i think he falls)..that i am "pushing" him ahead...tha...

I am so excited!..i have been so undecided about our new course of hs next yr. couldn't decide where to start really, since my younger son will be 4 1/2 by the fall..to start in K or preK??..so it occurred to me that i dont have to wait till the fall to start "school"..i got LHTH for 4-5 yo and thin...

So good to hear..i feel most advise against Beyond for 1st gr at yo....but if you use Little Hearts for K, wouldn't this be next for first anyway??..(we did not as this will be our first yr hs..)..just trying to sort through a little confusion..

I think LHTH may be good for him. i don't know if i see him being still for the hr to hr 1/2 or so to do LHFHG...still deciding though if Little Hearts or Beyond is the best fit fot my 6yo who is advanced reader.....?

Thanks for the info!...Just wanted to check in with those of you who have used this as we are new this...dont want my 6yo to miss any basics, or feel like i was skipping him ahead by putting him in Beyond for 1st. however, dont want him "bored" in a level that is not challenging... I am very interes...

I am considering Beyond in the fall for 1st gr for my oldest who will be 6 in may. He is finishing K in ps, and is reading books that are half way through 1st gr level already....called HOD, and he suggested Beyond for my son with the Emerging Reader...Has anyone tried this??..this will be our first...

Looking at Little Hearts for my 6yo at a 1st gr level..but didn't know if that would be too advanced for younger son to follow along with?...or get him Little Hands ..his bday is jan so not technically K...would the preschool level be better for him??

Hi, I am new to this..but having the same issue trying to decide where to place my 6yo as well. He is finishing ps K and well about 1st gr level in reading and math already....was thinking about Beyond for him..but i also have a 4 1/2 yo...not sure where to put him either....So, i feel your concerns...

HI, thanks...i am just really starting looking into this, i did look at the chart..and thats where i was thinking placing 6yo in Beyond..if combine in Little Hands..would he still be challenged?..what reading would he do?....is that level too much for the 4 1/2 yo??...so many questions..

Hi, i am new to this forum, and HOD. We are new to homeschooling and plan to start in the fall, after my oldest finishes K in ps. Question is, not sure where to start...i have 3 dc, oldest will be 6 in may and already very advanced in K and can read alone, next son will be 4yr 8mo in the fall, has d...
