Remember my spelling dictation question? Well I have another
We started slowly this week with school and my son is doing great with the spelling words. I am just reviewing and he is getting them all right. I had decided to do the words because I thought he could not spell them but he can when I ask. That's where is stops though. He will NOT try to spell anyth...

Re: Letter reversals
Thank you all for easing my mind on this. I know it's common at this age. In fact I even remember in my 30s having to think about which way a b or d faced when I wrote it.

Letter reversals
I need some input. My 7yo reverses some letters. I am not too concerned about the b,d reversals but today it was n,u. I know this isn't a big concern until a certain age but since my 20yo son was dyslexic and I wish I had done more at an earlier age I was just wondering if there is anything I should...

Re: My3sons? Hasn't been on lately.
I spoke with her on the phone last week and she was very helpful. What a blessing theses two sisters are.
I wonder if coming here kind of gives Carrie a break. Maybe to rest her mind for a bit. I also spoke with Mike on the phone and he was a great help too.

I got my confirmation email immediately and it shipped the next day. So if you don't see something today maybe call them.

Spelling list/dictation question
I don't know whether to do the spelling list or dictation with my 9yo. We will be doing bigger this coming year. In the past we have used All About Spelling which we love and was great but this year I am trying to simplify and use all of HOD. He is a natural speller but doesn't think he can spell an...

Re: Singapore question
Thank you seeing that laid out was great. I still have the B kindergarten book so I think I will start my 7yo there. As for my 9yo I wish I had a 2A to look at. I have a 1B here and I may need to start there. Which is fine. I think if he moves pretty fast in it we can move on to 2A. So are there 2A ...

Singapore question
I think I want to take my kids back to Singapore. This past year has been a bust with math. I have had some health issues and we had a move in November. I have a 9yo (4th grade) and 7yo (2nd grade but not reading). Looking at the placement tests I don't think my 9yo could even start in 2A. I know he...

Re: Question about Aesop's Fables version
I am wondering the same thing as I have two here already. I think given to us as gifts. I was hoping that I could use one of them. I won't need this until next year but am already looking through my shelves.

Rod and Staff grammar
I have a question about this. Do most of you do it orally with your younger children? My 9yo has had very little grammar and I realized that is one area he is lacking. But there is no way he could write all it calls for. I did buy Easy Grammar for him this year before I realized I wanted to continue...

Re: Oh my I just figured it out but with one problem
The people at HOD are wonderful. I called yesterday to talk to them about placement for my son and Julie spoke with me for a long time about it. She was very helpful, also very kind. I think I have decided after that conversation to go ahead and do LHFHG as is. He may remember some of the Burgess bo...

Re: Bigger question
I have decided to do LHFHG with my soon to be 7yo. That way I can just continue forward with the guides with him. He is not really ready for Beyond yet because he can't read. I do think he will work easily through Little Hearts though but that's ok. I really need to focus on his reading and writing ...
