This is probably a silly question but I'd like to know how everyone else does it. :D In the dictation instructions (in PHFHG) it says to "call out the passage one phrase at a time". Does this mean one sentence at a time or one phrase based on the way it's typed? For example, one of the passages is t...

The books needed for the 1st 12 units of the extension package are:

Uncovering the Mysterious Woolly Mammoth: Life at the End of the Great Ice Age
Usborne Internet-Linked Ancient World Encyclopedia
Aesop's Fables

ACk! I meant Unit 31-Day 2.

I hope I didn't come across as expecting perfection. I sincerely just want to know the rest of the information because...well, it will drive me crazy, LOL! I'll be looking forward to Carrie's response, although there is certainly no hurry.

I'm reading through my manual and in unit 21, day 2, I believe words are missing. The key idea in the history project states: Peter the Great brought western fashion and customs to Russia. He decided to help Russia change so that it could become and that's where it ends. Does everyone's manuals have...

Yes, mine is the 1997 Calvert edition. Hardback. I don't know why they don't match up. How strange.

Because of this:*A Child’s History of the World by Virgil M. Hillyer (Calvert Education Services, 1997) Note: This text is available in several different versions, but only the 1997 version matches with the page numbers in this guide and includes the additional end chapters needed for this study. I ...

Agreeing with you in prayer.

I must not know how to use the search function properly but does anyone have a supply list for PHFHG all typed up? In looking through the guide, I can see there are things that we would not just have on hand (clay, watercolors, etc..) so it would be helpful to have a list. Before I make up my own li...

I hope I worded that title to convey what I'm asking. :D I am just curious for future reference since I have a soon-to-be 2yo who I plan on using HOD with. You know how the programs will say "for first or second grade"? Have you found that you use it w/ your dc on the younger end or older end of the...

Thanks ladies. I am super excited!

I just purchased the guide for PHFHG along with Leif the Lucky and Columbus. I have some of the other books and will continue purchasing the rest throughout the summer as finances permit. I just had to get this guide IN MY HANDS already, LOL! I hope I do not get overwhelmed when I see it. I am so ex...

I have already purchased BJU Reading to use w/ my 4th grade dd. Do I really need to use a Reading program alongside Preparing? It seems as if she will be doing lots of reading throughout the day. I am wondering if anyone chooses not to do a formal Reading program and just enjoys all of the great boo...

Box Day is always so exciting! I pray you have a wonderful school year!

Thank you so much. :) Yes, I plan on getting some special toys and activities that she can play with only during school time and I also plan on rotating them so she doesn't get bored. I will be using Preparing with my 9yo and 12yo daughters. My 14yo son will be doing something else, but he will be l...

Who is patient and can sit and teach her children even with all the interruptions from her toddler. I am so excited because I'm pretty sure we will be using HOD next year. (It feels funny to call it "next year" when it will really be in a few months, LOL!) I've poured over the Preparing samples and ...
