Hello all, I'm hoping to start Beyond with ds in January or February, but am not sure exactly what reading to do with him. He's finished with phonics and Abeka readers grades K and 1. . .and we've been getting the level 4 I can read books at the library to tide us over. But my question is, is it wis...

Thanks Ya'll! This is just what I was hoping to hear. =)

Would it be feasible to use Growing with Grammar with Beyond but not add a writing program. . .just use the included copy work?

Just trying to collect my thoughts. . .and finalize plans.

Thanks All

How have ya'll decided between Italic handwriting and A Reason for. What are the pros and cons?

If you are planning to move on to Beyond the following year, then you wouldn't be out the money for the manual, you'd just be buying it early. Thanks for the info net pea How...

Thanks for the input. . .this is encouraging. . . :) I'm realizing I miswrote where they placed: MY 1 rst grader ds places into Beyond Little hearts for his glory (independent reader etc. . .) My free-spirited pre-k dd places in Little Hands to heaven hoping to meet in the middle with Little hearts ...

Hi everyone! I'm considering HOD for next year. . .it was recommended by several people on another forum. I have a very precocious upcoming 1rst grader and a rather reluctant upcoming pre-ker. They place into LHTH andLHFHG. I was wondering if I can meet in the middle and do BLHTH? Has anyone done th...
