Did I put this in the right place? I now see that it's archived threads. That is too much to type over again .

Ok, I bought LHFHG and BHFHG last year. I like both. However my special needs child took over last year and we are only halfway through Bigger and I won't even embarass myself with where my poor kindergartener is. I promised the therapist I would keep this up until September. There is supposed to be...

I thought it best to ask a new question here with all the info than to start a new thread. First I want to say that HOD is still so much better than anything I have tried for my daughter before but with her quirks ( need a nicer word here) I find myself feeling lost some days. Of course I was a whol...

I feel that way too. I just love HOD like nothing else before. You said when you said you are with them and not doing it to them. That is such a perfect description. I am only jealous I can't put all my little ones in right now. I am still saving to buy for everyone although DH agreed to buy me DITH...

I have done R&S grammar for 4 years now. I do a little of both all the time. My 3rd grade boys make study cards because they have trouble memorizing things like helping verbs and such. They also write how to on the card such as on the direct object card it says, Direct Object- a noun that receives t...

Well,, I tried the don't linger thing today and that went very well. I actually think she listened better. She even had no no food, that wasn't on her diet on Sunday and still did attentionally well today so that was great. The activity thing didn't go as well as hoped though. I switched out the toy...

That's helpful the don't linger thing. You are right, she will do it over and over anyhow. I guess I feel like part of the failure for doing first grade twice and since she still can't borrow or carry, among other things, I feel like we aren't in second grade either, really. But, some things she get...

That is extremely helpful Julie, with the links. I already do the 30 minute thing, but it never seems to be enough. I end up spending 2 hours with the Beyond child and 20 with everyone else ( or none with my oldest)most days. My oldest boy with learning issues has trouble remembering what I taught i...

First I want to say how encouraging this board is. I have a friend that lives nearby and does TOG with me. Her 7 year old is also special needs but, she only has 3 kids. Anyhow I had told her about my switch to Beyond and encouraged her to try it as our kids have similar issues and are not respondin...

Thank you ever so much, I look forward to more ideas. I really appreciate the heads up.

That sounds good in theory. Do you really think Bigger is challenging enough being that there will be 2, 4th graders and a 6th grader doing it? I am just asking since it looks like you have tried it. I am really inclined to do less with the 7 year old than more since we have had so many challenges w...

Hello, I am new here. I have 7 kids ages, 11 dd,9ds,almost 9ds, 7dd,4ds,almost 3ds and 8ds months. I just switched( like last week) the 7 year old from R&S to HOD. I love, love, love, it. Truly, I have tried Sonlight, R&S, TOG, KONOS, and various other pieces to curriculums and had a little success ...
