CLE Reading vs CM type narration/dictation

We use CLE Language Arts and Reading. DD loves basal readers (go figure) and I love the critical thinking skills, vs just comprehension skills other reading programs have. They also contain great character training. CLE also uses diacritical marks (for dictionary pronunciations), how to study, proof...

Re: Math question....rounding help!

My dd didn't get rounding either. we spent 6 weeks on it :-P you know the scatter brain bit sounds very familiar! My dd still will take 16 and round it to 60. I know with her the information goes to the wrong place in her brain and then comes out jumbled. Many times it is easier for her to just gue...

Re: Bigger...what were your favorite

Thanks for your replies. I have a few, but not all of the books. I know Pioneer Sampler looks so wonderful. I personally can't wait for that one myself! I don't want to get ahead of myself by ordering and then not getting to them, KWIM? So I wanted to start with favorites! I just ordered Phyllis Whe...

Re: Math question....rounding help!

Wow! Sounds like you've got good tricks already! I know I've been at my whit's end at times with things (in my case, reading with my 2nd ds). That's when my hubby reminds me to pray over him! The Lord is faithful to answer! And when I don't have any whiz-bang answers of my own, I always pull out Ja...

Re: Math question....rounding

If she understands place value, tell her she just needs to look at the "nearest" 10 when rounding to 100's in the same way she looked at the "nearest unit" when rounding to the nearest 10. Assuming the rule to round up is 5 and up, and rounding down is 4 and lower...say you have 26, you use the "6"...

Math question....rounding help!

We don't use Singapore, but I'm hoping that maybe someone here will help me. dd does not understand rounding to the nearest hundred. Even dh tried to explain it today, but to no avail. We've been trying to explain this for a few days, but on an every other day basis. Perhaps you have some tricks you...

Re: Cheerful Cursive? Switching from another program..

Cheerful doesn't have a level. It starts out with lower case then moves to upper case. So you could start in that sense based on what you've already done.
