We are using Bigger for 3rd. It's a perfect fit for us! And as far as eyes glossing over.... well, I always thought it was a boy thing. LOL You'd be surprised how much they soak up, even though they're standing on their heads, playing with smuggled in toys, or tapping hands and feet nonstop. You're ...

It's really up to the individual kid. Bigger would work for one kid in 2nd grade who is developmentally ready, but just barely fit for my kid in 3rd grade who is kinda a mix of beyond and bigger. Yet, looking through it I can definately see some 4th graders I know being a PERFECT fit for bigger too....

I do Explode the code in addition to phonics, no problem! The whole books have little quizzes at the end. If your child has trouble grasping a skill it will be obvious on the tests. If you want more review for that skill, you can buy the 1/2 book and work on it. Otherwise, you just move up a level. ...

I looked into winterpromise. I have a lady in my son's scout group that uses it for her kids and she loves it. I looked through hers (for 3rd graders) and was very confused. It was alot of jumping around, and things weren't tied in together (in my mind) well. Now, she loves this program, and there a...

I'm not sure which programs you're using, or which ages you need? For us, with Bigger -- if doing 2a, 2b it's the WORKBOOKS only. If doing 3a 3b, it's the workbook AND textbook. I havent needed any answer keys, or anything else. The HOD ties it all together nicely, and havent needed anything else. I...

As a mom of a 5 and 6 year olds in PUBLIC school, I wouldn't worry about the history too much! In prek and kinder here they dont learn history much at all. On presidents day, they did a week long study of presidents, mostly the "famous" one's. That's pretty much it, so far. Other than a few easy beg...
