I actually used "Beyond Little Hearts..." with my second grader last year (and since I'm the author what follows is a slighty biased opinion :) ) but I will say that both my son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We really did find that the age range was right on target for us. It also provided a great fo...

We'll definitely discuss the options again and weigh the amount of time it would take us to offer the book in another format. Thanks for your input ladies!

Darci, You've gotten some helpful responses from the wonderful ladies on this board. As you can see we are each making the Heart of Dakota programs work for our family in different ways. At Heart of Dakota we do strive for "structured flexibility" when we write our programs, so your words blessed me...

Charlene, We have considered offering our guides in an ebook format, but decided against it for several reasons. First, we would lose the side-by-side formatting that shows each day of plans on a two-page spread. Secondly, since our guides are so hefty, it would be very time consuming for the user t...

You're more than welcome. Hopefully, deciding what to order will be the most difficult part of using our curriculum

Blessings,
Carrie

Merry Christmas to you too! By the traffic on the boards it appears that most of us are already into the Christmas swing. We're expecting my older sister and her husband from Texas to arrive today along with her 7 beautiful children, in time for the candlelight services this evening. My children are...

That's one of the benefits of our programs! You can definitely use your own math. It's not hard to use the things that work for your family and then let our guides fill in all the rest. And... if for some reason your math takes a turn and is no longer working for you, you have a back up plan with Si...

Great! I'll take a look and get back to you. Believe me when I say that figuring out what to order is the toughest part of using our programs. After that our progams are very easy to use!

Barbara, I, or couse, suggest the devotions because I chose them, and I love them! I think they are a great discussion starter and a quick way to talk about your faith with your kiddos. Seriously though, we looked at so many devotionals prior to choosing the ones in our programs. We found very few t...

Your list looks great! I'm just going to explain a few things that might make ordering a little clearer for you (and everyone else reading this thread). For any of our programs the minimum items needed are those in the Economy Package. So, for "Little Hearts..." you would also need the "Storytime Se...

You're most welcome! Here is one other link to an even more recent thread on the topic.

Linda,

Here's a link to a previous thread on the board about "Reading Made Easy" and "The Reading Lesson". That may help some!

Linda,

We currently have full-color brochures of each of products that we'll gladly send you, if you just drop us your snail mail address at carmikeaustin@msn.com

We are working on our first full-color catalog that looks like it will be done by March 1st or earlier.

Thanks for asking!
Carrie

inHistiming, Preparing Hearts for His Glory really has a world history focus. It only covers American history within the scope of world history. The 4 guides that will come after Preparing Hearts will also have a world history focus. So, Bigger Hearts is our full-blown American history overview. Bey...

I'm biased, but I'll share what my sons' current favorites are... My 5 year old loves the Rhymes in Motion from "Little Hearts...". He also loves the hands-on parts like making and eating the golden calf (which we did today). All of the big brothers enjoyed having a taste too. They never seem to tir...
