Hi Carrie or anyone else, My daughter will be doing CTC next year and I'd like to do R&S Grammar with her. She's just finished Growing with Grammar 6. Any idea if she'd fit better into R&S 5 or 6? She'd a fairly strong writer and has done at least three years of formal grammar. She's 11. I've tried ...

How do I determine if dictation is too easy for my daughters? We've gone through the Spelling lists in Bigger and are halfway through the dication lists but they seem to get them all right on the first try? How many mistakes should they be making to make it instructional for them?

Thanks,
Shannon

Oh, that's great news! Thanks Carrie.

Hi
In the BIGGER unit 22 Day 1 the Bible verse just doesn't exactly seem to tie in/line up with the charectar trait 'diligence'. Are we missing something

Thank you!

Natalie and mom Shannon

Thanks Carrie. I'm leaning towards this advice. One more question. Since we are almost done BIgger dictation (we've gone throught the spelling lists) and dictation with little trouble, should I order the Preparing guide now for further dication which I could continue till next year or just do my own...

Any other advice

Thanks,
Shannon

Why not do CTC for both of them? Then you could add extensions for the oldest? It would be nice to do history together:) coulld have age-appropriate LA and math.


Just an initial thought,
Shannon

Thanks for your advice Julie. Yes, I've been thinking that might be the best. I'm not worried about my oldest. I think she would have been fine this year with CTC but opted to keep them all in American History so I could learn it! (we're Canadian :) I think putting the middle two in Bigger would wor...

Thinking about next year:) I have a bit of a dilemma. I started my two oldest in Bigger and Bigger w/extensions. The oldest just turned 11 so will go on to CTC next year. My 9 year old just wasn't "keeping up" and holding the oldest back so I switched her to join her 6 year old sister with Beyond. T...

Thanks, Laura!

Oops, I mean wasn't such a verse in Psalm 11!

Shannon

Hi, I think it's week 15 (or 16), but it calls for drawing a leaf cross-section from the One Small Square books and asks the students to copy Psalm 11:28. Well, my daughter had great pleasure in telling me there wasn't such a psalm. I'm sure this has been posted before, but what chapter or verse is ...

Hi Michelle, I was reading this post and noticed in your signature that you are using Bigger with a 7yr. old. Could I ask you how that is going? I am considering a similar combination next year. My 6 yr. old is currently doing Beyond and having no trouble with it. I wonder how the reading would be f...

Hi Jess, I am Canadian too and this is our first year of HOD. We are currently doing both Beyond and Bigger. We covered Canadian history last year (pulled things together) but definately wasn't as well organized as this year with HOD! A book you may have heard of by Donald Dickie, called "My First H...
