Hi! I'll just give my input. I have a son who turned 9 this February. We have been doing Bigger and it has been PERFECT! It is exactly the right level for him. There is just enough writing so that he is not frustrated, yet continues to grow in this area. I would encourage you to take another look at...

I think it would be fine. R&S introduces each subject very comprehensively. There is no expectation that your child should already understand the grammatical concepts presented. R&S moves at a deliberate pace. There is plenty of practice and review.

Wow! I've been using Bigger and didn't even notice that I needed to use larger paper. I just used regular 8x11. We're on unit 19 and we've used regular sized paper for all our notebooking assignments so far.

I have two children, dd 14 and ds 9. After using SL PK, K, alt 2, 3, 4, 5, TOG 1, WP Animals and WP QMA, I have FINALLY found a curriculum that I REALLY like.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I understand now.

Carrie, I am new to the HOD boards, but not to homeschooling. I organize a writing/science co-op in N NV. I teach writing, but also do a lot in the science category as well. My suggestion with science is not incredibly creative, but it has served our co-op well. I would strongly suggest that you tak...

I have a quick question. Is this new ancient history study guide the year of study that comes after "Preparing?" I guess I am confused because I noticed that there is some ancient history included in "Preparing" so I wasn't sure if this was an addition to "Preparing" or something totally new. Cunfuz...
