Hi Jan, I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. I'm not sure I'm going to be of much help as we are in the early stages of an ADHD diagnosis for my 7 yo son. But I am noticing he has a slower processing speed than his older brother and sister and am anticipating similar struggle in the future so I am c...

I think that he could handle the subject matter of Preparing with no problem. You might consider that there's a difference between being able to handle the content of the guide and being successful with the skills the guide is teaching. He may very well be ready for the subject matter in Preparing,...

Hello! LovingJesus asked some great questions that will probably be helpful for placement. Have you checked the placement chart to see where he fits skills-wise righ.t now? That may give you a fresh perspective. My first though was also Bigger if he places there skill-wise. Or maybe even picking up ...

In the younger years, you will notice we are moving toward more of a living books education. I would just like to add that I think HOD was wonderfully rich in living books even before the new additions. The Visual History Sets are just the "cherry-on-top" of an education chock-full of living books!

We are not to high school yet so we haven't used those yet but I am looking forward to it in a few years!

Little Pilgrim's Big Journey became one of my DS6's new favorite books when it came out with Little Hearts last year. He knows all the characters and loves the story so much I had to buy the rest of the series! With the new Pilgrim's Progress in Preparing Hearts this year, I just wanted to share how...

Carrie, thank you for such a beautiful and thoughtful explanation for the new updates! I always appreciate knowing the "why" behind a curriculum's choices. I have a son going in to Preparing and a daughter going into MTMM next year, so I am excited they get to experience the new materials. My daught...

My 7 yo son was just diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia (although apparently it's not called dyslexia anymore but Specialized Reading Impairment) :shock: He will be doing Beyond in the fall. I did a search hear for ADHD and Dyslexia and read all of those posts, but I was just wondering if anyone had a...

Thank you!

I’ve been checking too and would love to see them on the website before the sale!

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...
