Hi. We are new to HOD(using Bigger) and for the storytime box(our read alouds)..we are finishing the book way earlier than the guide suggests. Do any of you have this problem? What do you do? We have finished 2 Biographies already and there is still more biography to go so we will end up reading 3 b...

Hi. Just switched from SL that we have used for 3 years to HOD which we have done a week. I switched because I wanted more hands on..and Yes, I too love the SL readers and read alouds. So, now I use SL books for my DITHOR so I have the best of both worlds. Also, many of the SL books are also HOD boo...

HI. I don't know what the answer is but just wanted to let you know that I plan on putting my 2nd grader in Preparing with my older two boys next year. WE just started bigger and BLHFHG. MY younger son will be young for it but I really want them all together instead of doing two guides and this will...

HA! I posted b4 you got a chance to finish. Thanks again. I have always read our bedtime stories in my older two boys bracket so Liam will be okay with Bigger's books.
Thanks for all your advice:)

P.S. I just saw that Carry on Mr. Bowditch is actually on the 6/7/8 grade list, so I asked him if he wanted to choose another and save that for next year and he really wants to read it now, so..... Just thought I would let you know that I realized it was on the 6/7/8 rather than the 4/5. Thanks. Wendy

Thankyou all for your replies ..definitely helps. I did read through all of the guides but still was confused..I am a person who needs to see things done rather than read how to do them I think. Julie, We are doing BHFHG for my older boys and BLHFHG for my younger son. Thankyou so much for detailing...

HI. I am wanting to order all my HOD tonight and I am wondering if it is easier to do my 2 boys on the same level student notebook and take home projects? Or is there no difference if I ordered a 2/3 for one and a 4/5 for the other? Just thinking it would be easier if they were doing the same projec...
