I'm looking for a series for my kids to read with DITHOR and free read, but can't think of a good series to get them started on. Someone mentioned to me The Magic Tree House books, but I don't know anything about them. Is there anything questionable in them? Things I should be aware of? I would real...

For my kids, in Beyond, I would say it's definitely the read-a-louds and emerging reader books. We are reading Paddington Bear right now, and they think it's so funny! They also love the science! I would say that the read a louds are one of my favorites too! I love not feeling like i have to exam ea...

I too, wanted to be careful about choosing books that we wouldn't be reading in future guides. So, I was kind of thinking something other than what was listed.... just until I can order the whole set.

Yes, we are finishing working on the emerging readers. We have even read the optional books. Very good! We have read some of the extra chapter books listed in the back of Beyond. What I was thinking, was that I really wanted to buy the set level 2 together to save money, but I guess I could just buy...

We really enjoyed the cd as well. We used it has kind of a reward for passing certain sections. Since the book is black and white, it's kind of nice too . I think it's worth it!

I am going to be starting DITHOR 2/3 in January, and have to wait on purchasing the book packs until the end of February. So... I need a couple of book ideas for a Humor, Folktale and Historical Fiction, similar to those in level 2 book pack, that I can get, to hold me until I can purchase the recom...

We use CLE for math and love it! We are using 1st and 2nd grade. We started off with Singapore, and like it for Kindergarten, but from there it wasn't a good fit for us. CLE does spend a lot of time continually work on things they have learned in previous lessons, but I think it really helps the kid...

Kelly, Don't worry about asking too many questions! :D I always have a ton too! :D It's great that we can all help each other!! :D Yes, I'm doing spelling list 2 full speed with both my dd's 1st grade and 2nd grade. It will carry over into the first half of Bigger for us. Then, we will just do dicta...

Hi Kelly, Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was believe that the spelling list 2, is recommended for 2nd grade, and the first list of dictation for 3rd. I have a 1st grader and a 2nd grader and we are doing list 2 this year. Also, I believe that the English 2 is recommended to start in 3rd, as it tends...

Lourdes, I will be in prayer for you family! Prayers that your husband will get a suffient promotion that will cover what you need to stay in your house... prayers that you will have peace in knowing that homeschooling your children is what God wants you to do. I sometimes struggle with this, as a s...

Yes, okay so we will be using the same one?

LeAnna

I wasn't sure when we were supposed to find out, but does anyone know what the book is that is going to be used in place of the old DITHOR activity Grade 2 book? We are going to be starting DITHOR soon, and I hope that we can get the other book. Going to be so fun!

He's so beautiful, Kathleen!! Congratulations!!!

I believed it's covered in the math part of LHFHG.

We don't give our children allowances, but instead they earn tickets for chores, behavior and obedience. They can then turn them in for things like treasure box, dippy dots, picking a favorite meal, mom doing their chores for one day, staying up at bedtime a 1/2 hour later, etc. They also get ticket...
