Re: HOD Preparing and Dyslexia
We used Preparing with a 4th grader and a 5th grader. The 5th grader used the extensions, but honestly? It would have been meaty enough without them. I know that there are many women whose children have similar gifts as yours, and I know that they have had EXCELLENT advice for others...so I think th...

Re: SWITCHING FROM PUBLIC TO HOMESCHOOL IN 4TH GRADE
I switched from public school to homeschool after teaching there for seven years. I haven't regretted a day of it! :) Seriously, though, we brought home a child from ps at Christmas his fourth grade year. He placed perfectly in PHFHG...and loved it! He enjoyed the independence once he adjusted and w...

Re: From Boy to Man- What age?
The guide that is scheduled in is for ages 10-12, so I would think that even now would be okay to use it. My son was on the upper end of the guide (12) when we did it and he actually told me, "Oh, Mom, we already talk about all this." SIGH. We have always had open communication about this area, but ...

Re: Instructions for doing s boxes and combining kids?
We did Preparing with our ten and nine year old - four years ago. From what I remember, I gave instruction and then they completed the assignment separately. Occasionally, like when they prepared food, they did it together. HTH

Re: Who is doing MTMM?
We are doing MTMM with extensions for my son's 9th grade year. We are adding in economics, health & I am planning on purchasing the geo guide for the literature. We are EXCITED. I have been reading all the books & can't wait until my son gets to them - we always have such great discussions!

Re: new to HOD and homeschooling - need confirmation and adv
Welcome to HOD & homeschooling! It is a wonderful adventure. As for placement, if you think after studying the placement chart (you could even print out the first week of plans for Bigger and Beyond to study) that your daughter would be correctly placed in Bigger, then that is the place to start. If...

Re: Grammar Placement
Actually, HOD recommends doing most of the lesson orally. I think your kiddos would actually end up writing MORE with the workbook. Instead, just do the majority of the exercise orally, leaving only what they can handle for them to write. So, you can decide if they have already written too much for ...

Re: Am I crazy to start now??
Oh, definitely not crazy! We are starting back with LHFHG tomorrow. I am so thankful to get back into a normal routine. My oldest will not start MTMM because he spends his summers mowing lawns...and I don't want to put him out of work. :D He will be doing math and science, as well as reading. Those ...

Re: Adding to the President Study, Julie or Carrie...
I just checked the Scope & Sequence. It says that it will be in the third high school guide American History to 1900 & Government. Hope that helps!
