Hi, I think you would be better served by calling HOD and speaking with them. There are not many workbook/testbook/answer book subjects in this program. You can order worksheets and test booklets independently from Rod and Staff, and similarly, you can get these items for most math programs. In the ...

Hope these help. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2093&start=135#p74537 , viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15841&sid=134ecbb0c ... aa#p111321. Lynn's blog is a great resource for dysgraphia as well:-)

Hi Robin :D A few questions should be answered here... First, what credits do your highschool dc need for graduation, and which have they accomplished. It may be that you could combine the 16 and 14 yos in WG, using the LA from WH or US History 1 for the older ds, and maybe science as well. There co...

Hi all :D I'm just reviving an older post, asking for prayer for myself and all our HOD families struggling with health issues. As I read through these, I see so many possible areas for investigation, and have seen doctors for years trying to explore my options. I finally found a great doctor who do...

The teacher's guide will lay out the needed materials for each subject and how to use them

Hi :D I might lean toward Preparing for your ds, and Beyond for your 7&6 to dd's. I would expect a bit more of the older dd than the younger. There are several choices within Beyond as far as reading aloud and reading readiness, so you can address each girl at their own level. Several of the resourc...

Good answer, Daneale 8) I might even think about doing CTC through RevtoRev, then moving to WG to finish highschool. You would get great world history, and then the world geography/world religions and cultures. I wouldn't miss the WG for anything, having gone through it with my oldest last year. I c...

Wow Liz, you just described my youngest :roll: We discovered he has an issue converting glutamate to GABA (stimulatory to calming neurotransmitters). You might look into that for diet/supplement help. And yes, we do much better with him on a schedule. We are already getting the puzzles and games tog...

Oh yes...prayers and encouragement! Let me share that I also leave my oldest to do most of his work alone, with great sadness and guilt. He is doing well, and I am making effort to check his work when I can, however, I have a very dependant 6th grader and many health challenges that just wear me dow...

I'm a bit confused about the 3 boxes a day? I see @ 10 per day?

Happy Thanksgiving :D So I see that lit and writing were not strong areas for your ds. That explains why he would want a text book/question and answer format. Also, with the added resources and extensions, I'm guessing he is doing about 2 hours more per day than the regular curriculum would take. Th...

This post may give more food for thought...viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16788#p117633

With all you have added, he is actually doing more work than he would with the high school guides. I'm wondering if you might drop the extra curriculum, or even move him up to the world history guide which does include pilgrims progress. He may appreciate the 4 day schedule and higher level books. W...

That is so great to read. It is an encouragement to me with my sons , one of whom, while not dyslexic, reads very slowly in order to comprehend fully. Our days also go long, with much motherly involvement :wink: God bless you all. One thought I had for the highschool years is to maybe look into sign...

Hey Christi :D Funny, as I read this, I thought of Beyond for her, but going at her speed. You could even do it a couple years in a row, switching reading packages as you go along. This would maybe create a sense of familiarity for her as she works on new skills at her pace. I would be tempted to do...
