We are doing Preparing now with both my dc. My dc both have late Spring/early summer b-days, so they too turn a certain age and stay that age the whole school year as well. My ds was and is 10 and my dd was and is still 8. It has worked well for both of them. My dd sometimes takes a little longer as...

So my sister has asked me to purchase her LHTH on Friday when we go to the Cincy Convention. She is my 4th HOD convert. :lol: My sweet nephew is only 2, but she is excited to do something with him. She works full-time, but feels LHTH is something that she can do. I also keep my nephew 1x/week, so gu...

William Shakespeare and the Globe. I can't believe how excited they have been about it. They are going over the top with their notebooking pgs. Today is their last day with the book, so I told them HOD has plans for Shakespeare again in 2 years. :lol: They were happy to hear this. Just wanted to sha...

I know HOD will be there. Dh, my dc, and I will be going on Friday. Super excited to be getting all our new wonderful HOD books.

I love hearing from your dc. I am going to bookmark the thread as an encouragement for anyone else struggling to decide whether to use DITHOR. Dd and I spent at least 30 minutes together reading the description of the boy/girl book packs. She chose all the books that she is going to read when using ...

HERE are some ideas much like the pp but you can see things too.

Julie, Thanks so much for your response. I sure hope I didn't seem critical of DITHOR. That was not my intention. I was just trying to say that since I was spending 40 min/day teaching spelling, plus the more teacher intensive guides of Beyond and Bigger I was just feeling overwhelmed. This year we ...

Carrie, I hope my post didn't sound critical. I actually was just looking through CTC samples, along with the sample notebooking pages and I am super excited to be using them all next year. Love it!!!

Just wanting you to know that I am praying for you and your dd. (((HUGS)))

If you do let me know what you find out please. I too prefer getting things bound to binders.

Totally agree!!!! I am so surprised at home much my dc are retaining as well this year. Even though convention is less than 2 weeks away when I can buy next year's materials, I have been pouring over the samples here and trying to get peeks inside the books that HOD uses. Super excited about CTC as ...

After reading Lynn's response, we may be missing a skill some weeks. So you may not want to consider my suggestion. Other weeks, what my children are reading just isn't one little paragraph. I actually have them read enough info so that they can answer basically all the questions even though that is...

I too have had your same concerns. You may want to check your library system's website. Ours has free access to worldbook which is the online version of worldbook encyclopedia. You just have to put in your library card number etc to access it. Our library has 3 versions, kids, student, and advanced....

Thanks to the ladies and all the children. It was a big help for dd. I too loved reading what children thought of DITHOR. Anyone else want to share?

Some background first: Ds: 3rd-Did Beyond and DITHOR 2/3. Nothing against DITHOR, but it was a bust here. It was very time consuming and just felet like too much work with a child who struggled with Spelling. I was working extra on his spelling etc. 4th-Did Bigger and just read the suggested books f...
