Here is a link to a recent discussion on "half speed".

We are doing Bigger with our 7yr old this year and she is doing very well with it. I don't think it's too advanced for a 7yr old. The problem I am running into is that as we go higher in the guides I worry it will be too much for her to keep going full speed. I think Preparing will be fine at 8yrs o...

It does sound like a big jump, but if s/he is underplaced at Bigger and Preparing is definitely beneath him/her, then CtC would probably be the way to go. I do think that Preparing is a pretty big step up from Bigger, and ...

This is what is keeping me from making the decision to keep my two together in preparing. i don't want to do half speed with one and full with the other....

Has anyone done Creation to Christ with a 9 year old before? How did it go?

Thank you ladies for taking the time to comment. I know I don't want to combine them and have one doing full speed while the other is doing half pace.

This interests me as well. Hoping you get some answers

Mostly week 22 with Bigger.

Thanks so much ladies! I am really enjoying reading through these old threads. Gleaning so much information and inspiration. I really like the link for the tips on finding peace. Read through the entire thread until midnight last night.

Just wondering what others do to get ready for the next school year. I've got all our Preparing stuff and have been wanting to prepare for Preparing Do you go through the guide week by week? What do you get set up and when do you start? Just thought it would be fun to see what others do.
