Re: Thinking I need to REthink....

Davisfam, YES! That DID help immensely b/c I was struggling by what everyone meant by "slowing it down" for my dd. This will be my first year with HOD and I wasn't understanding what to do. That makes MUCH more sense to me...only doing 1 side of the page a day. YES! Now I get it. I think I will def...

Re: Thinking I need to REthink....

Well, we're brand new to LHFHG and have only finished the first week, but I can share that my dd (a young 4) is doing really well with it. LHFHG is actually perfect for her as written in every skill and subject area. My ds 5.5 is more advanced in math and reading and requests additional story time, ...

Re: Week in Review Jan. 23-27

Hi Everyone, We just finished our first week in LHFHG. We had a wonderful time. I didn't think to take pictures, but will try in future weeks. I have two dc doing this guide ds(5.5) and dd(4). Both of them loved school this week. Ds's only complaint was that he wants more story time. He's DYING to k...

Re: The Reading Lesson Vs. Reading Made Easy for Phonics?

I have not used Reading Made Easy, but I am VERY pleased with The Reading Lesson. I chose it because the pages are neat and uncluttered, which is important for my oldest two. I also appreciate how open and go it is. My 5 yr. old is on Lesson 5 and does 1-2 new pages a day. My 3 yr. old just started ...

Re: School isn't supposed to start until Aug. 8th.....

I don't blame you. I'm trying to wait 'till October to start :shock: . If I had things my way, we would have started already :) . Aug. 8th will be here soon.

Re: Can a 4yr old tag along with LHFHG? (and other questions)

Welcome to the HOD Board, and thanks for sharing about each of your dc! :D ... makes me think that as long as you take it slow, dd could begin LHFHG along with your ds, especially considering he is only 5.5 yo and has CP/autism to consider in placement. I also love your idea of doing school 4 days ...

Re: Can a 4yr old tag along with LHFHG? (and other questions)

Thanks for the responses everyone. I've been reading old LHFHG threads and it looks like there are additional readings suggested in the appendix. Is that still true? I am still open to other ideas, but am thinking of moving forward with LHFHG this fall, but stretching it out 1 1/2 years or so. I rea...

Re: Can a 4yr old tag along with LHFHG? (and other questions)

Thanks for responding. So, if my daughter needs to wait for LHFHG, what do I do in the meantime? Skillwise both of my children are beyond LHTH and we have used all the LHTH resources many times over. I added them in as we went through a literature based preschool program. I actually had LHTH but cou...

Can a 4yr old tag along with LHFHG? (and other questions)

I am looking at using LHFHG this fall with my will be 5.5yr old ds and 4yr old dd. Have people done this? The placement is perfect for ds. Dd will be a little young but insists on doing everything her big brother does. Her attention span and ability to ask and answer questions about stories is prett...
