Just checking to make sure who is supposed to do the reading in the teacher directed boxes with ctc. For example, the storytime box, history readers I have been reading to my child. Does teacher taught mean the parent reads aloud? It seems that the child should be doing the reading for more practice...

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I feel confident now that hod is compatible with either schedule!

I'm planning to use my hod curriculum for a 4 day school week rather than 5 days. I'm wondering when to start the school year to make sure I cover the minimum requirement of 180 school days. It seems I would have to start around July to finish up the following May. Any feedback I would appreciate!

Thanks for the comments. I did talk to someone at Singapore math. They said they recommend the standards edition because it comes with a more detailed home instructors guide than the us edition, making it easier to teach. Any experience in that area?

Does anyone have input regarding which Singapore edition is more recommended? I know heart of Dakota's website shows the us edition, but I am considering using the standard edition. I wonder if the daily guide/lessons will work with either?
