:lol: Well, I had 3 in 15 months but unfortuately have not been blessed with any others. You do have your hands full will all your wonderful blessings! My first thought is that there has got to be a way to get some of them combined. (We don't want you in a straight jacket!) I don't know what the ans...

Deb...I am so sorry.....I forgot to say

WELCOME

We are very glad to have you here!!!

Carrie is leaving for convention this weekend, so I'm not sure you'll get a reply from her before Sun. or Mon. and I'm pretty sure she is the only one who can answer this for you. :lol: If you really like these books and want to use them, I think you could easily add them to the Bigger program or an...

Thanks for sharing Tiffanie! Beautiful story. You should write that down for your kids to read when they are older.

Your son should be able to move into the emerging readers by the end of The Reading Lesson, but you would still continue learning the more advanced special sounds (i.e. when to use -sion or -tion) and this is the point at which phonics morphs into spelling. I like Amey's suggestion of using the firs...

Hi Ann! I would check out the table of contents for each book before deciding....the order that the letters and sounds are introduced are different from one program to the next. I think RME introduces long and short vowels together and The Reading Lesson is more traditional and would be a little eas...

It took me so long to hit "submit" and Kathleen already found them!

Ok....I really stink at finding old threads, :roll: but....this has been discussed and there is (somewhere out there) a great thread with ideas for highschool! The one thing I can answer for you is, do not worry if your dd is past 8th grade when you get to the 4 year cycle. You'll really only be one...

I'm so very sorry for you, your church family and Tania's sweet family. It's always so hard to understand and make sense of these things...I will be praying.

I taped mine in, too...but....here's a head's up for ya..... A. The scotch tape will remove the ink from the page (slightly) if you tape over words and then try to lift off the tape. B. And, I didn't realize that each reading in Jerry Muskrat covers 2 chapters, and I wanted to just read one a day, s...

LeeAnn, I by no means have all the answers, but I do think an 8 yo is capable of doing some work quietly on his own. I know, because I had to start my kids on some indepentant work this past year and they are younger. :wink: It became a necessity for us, just to get through the day. They would do ha...

OK Susie...I just have to know...how in the world do you have corn ready already???? Most of us just got ours in the ground!! I am so jealous as I absolutely LOVE corn on the cob fresh out of the garden. :lol: There is a lot of information about this (reading multiple books simultaineously) in the o...

WELCOME

I've always wished that I had found HOD earlier so I could've done Little Hands....I can't wait to read about it goes with your little one!

Ooh, that's a toughie... :? I've played around a little with both of these curriculums along with some RightStart. I think just picking one and sticking with it will be your best bet. I don't think changing in the middle would be very easy. RightStart and Singapore were extremely similar, but MUS ta...

:D :D :D WELCOME :D :D :D So glad to have you here! Any friend of Mary's.... :lol: I agree with Mary, Bigger will be a different approach to Am. history, so I don't think it would get to redundant. How much of HOD do you plan to use?? Reading, language arts, math??? I would look at those placements ...
