Placement help (7th grader for fall)
Posted: Wed May 16, 2018 7:39 pm
My son has completed all HOD curriculums from Little Hearts through Preparing. He completed Preparing as a 4th grader. The following year he went to a small private Christian school (for numerous reasons) and returned back home for 6th and it has been great PTL. We did not jump into CTC bc of a new baby that came in December and 3 other children in 2 other HOD manuals (LHFHG & BHFHG) and we really wanted to concentrate on the 3 R’s bc that’s where he has greatly struggled. By doing that he has made huge improvements in reading, writing and spelling... and math is still a work in progress.
So my question is should I start him in CTC in the Fall or jump CTC and move right into RTR?? He is devouring books and is not complaining about his writing assignments he has had this year which is a new thing. I know this can change, but I feel from what I’ve read that the reading and writing are the main things bulked up in RTR, but I’m wondering if I’m missing something?? It does take a long time for his Math so I don’t want to burn him out. I’m also thinking about where he will be manual wise when he gets to high school (if we do CTC) bc I don’t want him to not end up getting the high school credits he needs. Thanks for any feedback and wisdom you can provide.
