Thank you so much Patty for posting the link to this thread...Carrie does an excellent job of explaining that the inappropriate material at the end of book are not included in the scheduled reading...at least I know that what I read on amazon is true, but that it won't be scheduled for reading and I...

Hi all, I am hoping that someone (or a few of you) that has gone through this book, can give me an honest opinion of it. I sometimes will go to Amazon.com to browse through the reviews and ALL of the books thus far have always had WONDERFUL reviews recommended in the guides we've done. BUT "A Child'...

Hi, My son is 10 and I think we are going to resume Bigger next week with extensions... I am just wondering if anyone thinks the dictation in this guide is too easy for a 10 year old? It seems pretty simplistic to me and my son just breezes through it. Just hoping that this spelling program is chall...

It makes perfect sense!!!Thanks a bunch!!!!!

Sorry typing on touch screen but meant to write ... the 4/5 STOOD for grade level...

Thank you both! I hope so Robin...I think I remember reading that the 2/3 level included a lot of introductory phonics? And my kids are definitely beyond that. I didn't realize the 2\3 and 3/4 stiid for GRADE level, though...ooops :-O lol...Thx again!!!

Hi all,

Forgive me if this answer is already somewhere on the website, but I am ordering DITHOR and not sure if I should order the 2/3 level or 4/5 for my kiddos??? Thanks!

I am bumping this up because I know Julie asked me some questions to help determine the best guide for my son, and I answered the questions last week in an earlier post...just not sure if she got to see it yet...?

Thank you, Lee Ann and Tiffanie!!! :D I think the writing suggestions will definitely have me giving preparing a second thought. He CAN write, but does he LIKE to...NO!!! :o Although when it comes to drawing little comics or just doing a little creative writing with something of interest, he will GL...

Hi, Julie! Thank you for your response! Unless I am doing something wrong, he places in both Bigger and preparing for each of the subjects you mentioned (reading, grammar, math) except for writing. Writing he placed in bigger because he is still doing a cursive handwriting book. He is almost done wi...

Oh I am assuming by FMS books she meant Fine Motor Skills books??...

Oh you are welcome! I agree with the last two responses...He can grow soo much in the next few weeks/months, so yes I encourage you also to continue with the lessons, take it slow and have fun!! :D And yes, then you can see where he is at at the end of LHFHG...You may be surprised to see just how re...

Thank you so much Becky and Country mom!!! Your posts were very helpful! You have both given me a lot to consider and I am so much more confident that things will work out well for us!!!

Hi! :) So happy to hear Little Hearts is working so well for your boys!!! :D I am sure others may have better suggestions, but assuming you went through the placement chart for him already, the questions that arose for me were: - How is he with the math box? I know u didn't mention that being an iss...

Wow thank you so much, Melissa, for such a detailed explanation of how you make your day work!!!!! I think my concern stemmed also from giving my kids (unintentionally) too long a summer break. With all the playing they've had with so very little structure, it can feel at times they won't be focused...
