These look so fun! And I can't wait to see what else is coming for Preparing! I wonder if you might want to start a new thread for the new products for so that it's visible and easy to find for everyone? Just a thought!

I am prepping for my daughter to start Rev to Rev after Thanksgiving. I was setting up her lessons for Exploration to Education I noticed that in the HOD guide it says on Day 4 to do the lesson for Chapter 1.4 and on Day 5 to the lesson for Chapter 1.5. But when I look at the online lessons and the ...

Thank you! That's good to know about 6B! That is what I decided after talking with Julie - we are going to start POM 1 when she starts Rev2Rev in December.

My daughter is on Unit 25 of Res to Ref. She will finish Singapore 6A about the same time as she will finish the guide. I'm wondering if we should move on to Singapore 6B, which she would then finish at about Unit 9 of Rev to Rev? Or should we drop 6B and head straight into Principles of Mathematics...

Hi Jami! I saw your post on FB too. I responded there, but I'm going to respond here to encourage you that people DO use and read this message board! :) I might suggest a full phonics program in addition to the Learn to Read activity book. And did you have a Bible choice? If the Visual History and n...

We are on week 26 of Bigger, week 21 of Res to Rev and week 21 of Little Hearts!

I have not tried it, but now I'm interested and will look into it. Thanks!

We are struggling with the transition from the Learn to Read: An Ant books to The Reading Lesson. The schedule says to jump into TRL at Lesson 9 after the Learn to Read books, but there seems to be some things we missed by not doing the earlier TRL lessons. Some of the notations are different for th...

Has anyone come up with a creative way to store and display the Scenic State Postcards? I was thinking of using a photo album from Amazon that has clear pockets that would show both sides.

We are in Week 18 of Little Hearts and the week where I presume the book about Paul from the Visual History Set will be used. I liked this and the Valentine book so much I got the whole set (available from VOM Books for only $20!) Anyways, the first book is about Stephen the Martyr. After reading it...

I wish I had a "magic pill" answer for you. :D It's still a struggle. We are taking a break from Bigger and RTR with my olders for the summer but I am still doing Little Hearts with the 6 year old. I am spending an hour with him first thing after breakfast, chores and Bible time. Then we get it done...

How old are your kids? I wonder if it would help to talk to Julie in the office? She is great with talking through things like this.

Are you taking a summer break? Maybe you'll feel differently after some time off for you and your kids?

Yes! In fact I just bought a series off of EBay that I found on the sample booklist. The Three Cousins Detective Club- Christian mysteries. I place great faith in Carries list as wholesome book choices for my children.

Thank you, Julie! And now we just finished Book 1 last week and started Book 2 this week. He is so proud of himself and doing really well!
