Re: Help! Not liking Rod & Staff English!
Yes, I was thinking of maybe trying R&S English 3, but I just don't want to make sure that we we wouldn't be skipping over some concepts by doing that.

Help! Not liking Rod & Staff English!
We are using Bigger for my 8 y.o. ds this year and it is awesome, we really love it! The only problem I am having is with the Rod & Staff English 2 book. I feel like my ds is not challenged *at all* with this book and it seems like it's too easy for him. He keeps asking me why the lessons keep repea...

Re: A question about Rod and Staff
If you do Bigger full speed, the book will last one year and then you would start Rod & Staff English 3 with the next guide (Preparing). HTH!

Re: blhfhg
Our library carries a couple of dvd series...one is called Animated Hero Classics and the other is American History for Children. I've heard good things about both! One of these series may have a video on Squanto.... I checked with my library and there is one video titled Early Settlers that does ta...

Re: IDK if I was RME or RL...
I had a hard time choosing too and I finally just decided to go with TRL simply because it's less expensive. :) Anway, I'm using it for the second time with my younger DS and it's awesome, I *love* it!! I can't say enough good things about it...short lessons, not-overwhelming, clean pages, you can p...

Re: Listening Skills of my 5 year old
Hmmm....maybe it's because she's just used to picture books? Listening to chapter books is a skill that most kids will acquire over time I think and it can take kids some time to make the transition for picture books to chapter books with few pictures. I know that when my boys were 5, they would not...

Re: Okay...coming back to HOD Science!
I'm glad to hear you're coming back to the science in Bigger! We're doing Bigger this year as written and I *love* the science. The books are interesting, the experiments are very doable, and the notebooking is fun for my ds! :) I'm not sure about the narrations, but I'm sure one of the wise ladies ...

Re: Question about copywork
Well, I'm not sure what Carrie recommends, but I did correct my son with mistakes like you mentioned. I felt copywork was more than just handwriting practice, it was also about writing the sentences correctly. So if he made a mistake with capitalization or punctuation, I would have him erase the mis...
