I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. I have the same problem with my boys and I have been trying to help them with listening comprehension. Knowing I'm not the only one really encourages me. I have Visualizing and Verbalizing in my cart at Amazon. I guess I can delete it. I also came across How to ...

I am doing LHTH for my son's K year and it is plenty for him. But I think your daughter sounds like she might be ready for more. You might want to look at it from your younger son's ability since you would be changing for him. If you combine them in LHTH this year, would he be ready for LHFHG next y...

Ok, the sponsor link makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

It's a good review, of course. :D She has all the programs listed, but at the bottom where they give pricing, it's showing Amazon pricing at $75 just for they guides! :shock: I know this is incorrect and the Heart of Dakota is a sole source provider now, so I thought I would bring this to Carrie and...

On the map we just bought, it lists the Antarctic Ocean as the Southern Ocean.

Welcome! I lurked for a while too. I agree; HOD looks amazing! With LHTH, the program we're using, there are so many things that I never would have thought of. It really is complete and my boys are having so much fun. I'm glad a friend recommended it to me.

Hi Teena!
My little guys are doing the same thing with LHTH. They are so excited! Ben can't hardly talk, but when he was showing me his bean A today he slapped his hands to his cheeks and said, "da uh A-A-Aam, too." I'm glad you were able to get it. It really is a great curriculum.

Our Samuel was a reversal baby we prayed for for 5 years, thus the name.

Samuel is a great name!

I thought about do the Beyond right side instead of the 1st grade options in Little, but my 5 year old would not be ready for some of that. Both of them are going to need to go a little slower. Sameul's mommy, I'm Samuel's mommy too. :) My 5 year old is Sam. Thank you for breaking down your schedule...

Thanks, Kim. I know you're right, but it's so hard to think of him being anywhere near ready for that kind of work in just one year.

Thanks for the encouragement and ideas. I thought about LHFHG at half speed next year. That would be using it for my older son's 1st and 2nd grade year. It's doable, but I wanted to use the K options with him next year and didn't want to keep him in K workbooks into 2nd grade; just for 1st grade. Ho...

I should probably take it one year at a time, but it's hard not to plan ahead. I have 4 and 5 year old boys who have language delays. I was going to start slow and do LHTH mainly with my 5 year old for his K year. He would be ready for it and probably for LHFHG next year. My 4 year old could do LHTH...

We're not doing HOD yet, but I am reading picture books from the library. While I am reading to my boys I comment while I'm reading. If it's a funny part I'll say "Isn't that silly?" And they'll usually comment back. Scary part, "Oh, no! What's going to happen?" And if they're paying attention they'...

Christ at the center. A godly education. That's why I'm using HOD this time around. I can't wait hardly wait to get started.
