They are also listed as "biographies" for storytime in the appendix of Beyond. Hey, we're finding them all over the place for ya! (I haven't seen the Buffalo Bill one anywhere, but we'll be adding that one in at our house. My son loves all things cowboy, and my dd's favorite musical is Annie Get You...

I think that would be fine to do. In fact, I had thought about it as well since Beyond will be our 2nd grade year. I have decided, however, to wait and use R&S 2 for 3rd grade. I think either way is fine, and you will also be giving yourself some wiggle room just in case you don't finish it by Bigge...

Great job, Julie! We need a folder (calling Mike!) for FAQ and this post should be there. These two curriculums seem to attract the same like-minded families and this is a very non-biased comparison.

I'm not sure on this one...... I love combining and usually that's my first suggestions, but..... When we completed MFW K, we went straight into Little Hearts and it was a perfect fit. Did you complete phonics with something else for your ds?? Is he able to do nice copywork, spelling, listen to long...

If you go to the main HOD site (just click on the icon at the top of the message board with the red heart) you will find the first week of each program. They are very helpful! I think it's also helpful to be able to see all of the books that go with the programs as well.

Hi Angie! I'll take a stab at explaining this, but am hoping others will chime in! Your Drawn books are for the child to read to you for their reading program. The boy/girl/classic sets are for you to read out loud to the kiddos and the storytime box activities....you are correct in that you will on...

Your dh did a great job of capturing Madrid! I loved his commentary, and that was so sweet that he wanted you to be there with him next time!

Can't wait for you to get yours posted, it's been 15 years since we did a tour of SD!

Debbie - I didn't think your asking about the activities was off topic at all. I was under the impression that it is not just for users, but those wanting info about the programs as well. Hopefully Carrie will clear this up for us. Now, the question about Saxon and TT *I* thought was off topic, b/c ...
