Re: DITHOR question
Thank you so much! It does sound like something I want to have my child work towards. I guess the Q&A style readers are a "comfort zone" for me. I realize, through your post, this may not be the best choice for my child in the long run. Thank you for sharing that with me. Blessings, Renee I just wa...

Re: Coming Full Circle - A Confession ;)
I am new over here at HOD, and it was encouraging to read your post! Your reasons are some of the very reasons that I am LOVING our switch to HOD. :D I am only 1 1/2 weeks into this curriculum and I am really enjoying having my children work at their own levels, just like you said. It is very nice t...

Re: It's me again - LHFHG
Character issues are a major part of parenting, if we choose to make them a part of parenting. One of the things I LOVE about Drawn into the Heart of Reading, for children that are reading chapter books, is the fact that it focuses on character issues as a part of the curriculum. The reason these ch...

BOX DAY!!!
:D Thank you Carrie!! :D A thank you to Julie too! Our school today was 'Box Day'. I just let the kids spend the afternoon looking at everything; me too.

Re: Still thinking of switching to HOD...placement ??
Hi Melissa! I saw that no one had answered yet so I thought I would share the little I can. We just switched from MFW, and I am so looking forward to my first HOD box that is arriving today. My ds6 did MFW K last school year for K. I have placed him in Little Hearts for His Glory with 1st grade exte...

Re: New to HOD, Suggestions for Week 1?
Thank you. Your replies ladies were so helpful, and exactly what I needed to hear. I know I can tend to jump in with both feet into something new, and then overwhelm myself. I don't want to do that to me or to my children. I had not even thought of the idea of starting off 1/2 speed, or the idea of ...

New to HOD, Suggestions for Week 1?
We are going to be receiving our first HOD box sometime this week, or next, and I am looking forward to starting! :D I have been looking for a curriculum with a focus on the Word of God that is Gospel/Christ centered, uses narrations & notebooking, uses literature, and doesn't use a grid in the TM. ...

Re: Why are you homeschooling?
The following are the top 5 - 10 reasons of 'why' I am home schooling, but not in the order of importance. Some of these are 'moments' that led to home schooling, that remain as insights that I look back on for the 'why'. Others are reasons that I believe in, and remind me of 'why' we home school. 1...

Re: DITHOR Placement?
Thank you Julie! :D This is so helpful. I am really looking forward to starting to lay a foundation in formal literature study with Godly character traits tied in. It sounds wonderful. :D Thank you also for pointing out the very worth while pursuit of slowing down my speedy reader to the number of p...

DITHOR Placement?
We are new to HOD, and I have been so enjoying researching the curriculum on their web-site. I Love what I am seeing. :D I am planning on using Beyond with my ds8/2nd grade. His writing, language arts, and spelling skills are far far behind his reading abilities & silent reading comprehension. I am ...

Re: Placement Chart
I just wanted to pipe in here and say that I absolutely agree that Beyond would be a great place to start. I absolutely love Beyond. I am going through it this year for the 2nd time(with 2nd son) and I love it just as much as the first time we(with 1st son) went through it! I also wanted to tell yo...
