Re: Huge jump in handwriting from LHFHG to Beyond

My dd is also in LHFHG, and because she liked writing so much at the beginning of the year, I decided to do ARFH K faster than planned. I did not want her to get into bad letter formations. We are now working in ARFH A. Her handwriting is beautiful and she will be able to do the copy work in Beyond ...

It is not difficult he said, but he does not care for the writing part. (He is my child that does not like to write at all) :mrgreen: He is doing DITHOR 4/5 this y...

Re: Read aloud - how do you choose?

This year I have enjoyed doing all 3 story times and my voice has given in, reading so much :shock: My children absolutely love their individual story time selections and I think they would be highly upset if they were skipped. As it is everyone would like to sit in on the two younger guide readings...

Re: Bible in LHFHG & Beyond

We must be in the same unit for LHFHG :D My dd was very sad that we came to the end of her history Bible. We love "101 Favorite Stories of the Bible" and she matured greatly in answering the questions at the end of the story! We followed Carrie or Julie's great recommendation when we first started o...

Re: Finished TRL and on to ER

It took Dd 14 months to go through TRL. She did similar 2-4 pages a day and toward the end she was doing 4-6 pages! :D :D
We have been doing some extra phonics alongside the ER books as well, but she is flying through the Early Readers Bible :) :D
