Re: handwriting questions
Thank you MitchellFamily. I was able to find some more sample pages online at christianbook.com that helped me see more inside the Italics book. It looks really great. After HWT, I think it would be a much easier transition so that he doesn't get frustrated and always feel like handwriting is a chor...

Re: two programs or one for k and 2nd grader?
Thank you for your replies! I am leaning toward buying both Little Hands and Beyond's guide so I can work on the left side of the page of Little Hands with both and a few of the boxes from the right side of Beyond for my older son. Are the science program and activites in Little Hands and Beyond com...

Re: two programs or one for k and 2nd grader?
