Yes you will cover half of the books and you can do them in any order you want. I would let him pick. I always let my ds pick out of a selection I choose.

There are no specific books or pages listed for DITHR so that you can use any book that you like. The book packs are just for your convenience. You can also do the genres in any order you wish it does not matter at all. ;) As far as how many pages you read you can just divide the book pages by the n...

Personally I would get the SELF-STUDY DELUXE HISTORY PACKAGE: FOR THE NEWLY INDEPENDENT READER even if I was using the extensions. If you don't have those than you would be skipping one of the daily I boxes which include some of your history notebooking assignments. The books in that package are rea...

I would start with LHFHG. I would not do a guide with some one below the recommended age range. In my opinion it would be better to do LHFHG full speed followed by Beyond full speed. Bigger is quite a step up from Beyond and your dc will have an even harder time if they come to it from doing Beyond ...

Just loaded it again and the letters on the sample week still look wonky. Like a combo IS and some look like a combo TS or something else odd. Maybe it is just my computer.
