thank you, countrymom! that is very encouraging!

I am so discouraged...My daughter is 6.5, and we are doing LHFHG for 1st grade. (My younger daughter, who is 4.5 is doing it with us, with phonics at her level) I LOVE this curriculum so much! But the struggle we're having is that my 6.5-year-old simply does not listen when I read anything aloud (Bu...

I would say YES it is worth getting a copy of Beyond for the math activities! They're great, and half the time we just do those and skip the worksheets! And doing the different read-aloud sets per round sounds like a great idea!

thank you so much! this helps

Hi! Someone has offered me a 2006 copy of Beyond Little Hearts, and I am wondering how it is different from more updated guides. Especially math--does the 2006 guide use the same math as current version? Thank you!!

sierra1410--I hope you don't mind me piggy-backing on your post! (I haven't gotten any replies on mine yet ;) We have actually been going through LHFHG at half-speed. The original plan was to use it for K and 1st. My goal was to get thru K math/phonics/writing this year, but we dont' end up doing it...

wow! I am in the same boat! I just posted a question about this too my oldest is 5.5 and doing LHFHG, but her younger sis, who is only 3.5, is doing everything right along with her! Eek! Looking forward to seeing what others have to say!

I would do LHTH again with the higher level devotional with the 2 of them. I'd also add the Kindergarten Essentials Math from Little Hearts for His Glory (LHFHG) for your 5 yo, as well as a handwriting program that works on the formation of letters. A Reason for Handwriting K or Italic A would be t...

rumkimom--there are some new activities, but many times the math box just says "do such and such page in the math book". I will pm you too!

Oh no!! So disappointing! I was looking forward to the math activities. I just realized that the online sample is not the same as what's in the new book. :( I found that on the FB group, someone went through and matched up many of the activities from the old guide to the new math books. Is there any...

Is the math the same? I don't know what year the K math was changed...

This could maybe work then, since i am using LHFHG for Kindergarten, so I don't have to worry about the 1st grade changes. Also, I think there's a file on the FB page that shows the history page changes?

Could Carrie or Julie confirm this info for me, please?
Thank you ladies!!

Can someone tell me the difference between the 2007 version of Little Hearts and the 2013 guide? I am so excited to have just gotten my Little Hearts kit in the mail!! But what I want to do is buy a second guide used to cut the spine off of and cut into packets so I can have each unit stapled togeth...

Thanks, Mommamo!
So, did you do all the alphabet and math stuff too? I was thinking I might just do the things that were directly related to the Bible story itself, but maybe that wouldn't take up enough time? Did you read more than one Bible story at once, or just pick two from the week to focus on?

Thank you, everyone! Great input! I will continue to pray and see what we decide :) I asked my 3yo if she wanted to do her own school next year, and she said NO. She wants to continue schooling alongside her sis. So that's something to consider too. I'll see where they're at in the fall, but for now...
