It was a poem by Stevenson, Looking glass river. He had to write a paragraph using imagery about the desert. Instead, he wrote the way a public school assignment would be,such as "you are in a desert, describe what you see" . After he completed the job, we did look up imagery examples online , so no...

Need help with imagery writing from unit 8 , day 2. My son wrote this, it looks nice, but it is not really imagery :D I'm having such a hard time to come up with metaphors , first because englishis my third language, then I am a right brainer :roll: How can I advice him? Should I make him rewrite th...

Does anyone know the approximate time each box should take in preparing?
Thanks!

Thanks Patty, I agree that the schools are pushing way too early and because of that , only 56 percent of 3rd graders passed this year!

We are using rod and staff 4 and it seems it has some writing instruction as well and with the instruction In preparing guide, I hope it will be enough.

My son is required to take a state standardized test at the end of the year for 4th grade. This can be a descriptive or narrative writing, 5 paragraphs. This is his first year in Preparing and rod and staff.Last year , except for writing in bob jones English, we did not do anything else for writing ...

I'd be interested to hear about WS too. My son loved WS b and c .

I have the hig and I don't find it too helpful. He successfully completed 3b testing a few months ago. I think some word problems are developmentally very challenging , and I wasn't sure if he is supposed to work these by himself or with my help . I think kids who solve these must be gifted , becaus...

My 4th grader is doing 4 a and we have encountered a few word problems that are VERY challenging . They are in 4a textbook . For ex this one , but there are a few others he couldnt do it. The Difference between two numbers is 2184. If the bigger number is 3 times the smaller number, find the sum of ...

I know the ideal would be me reading him the books. But I don't do that because 1) I have a strong accent in English and I am not proficient in it yet, my son speaks and reads better than me :D 2) I have five dc, including a preschooler, an infant ( she is 4 months) , twins 1st grade and my 4th grad...

I have all preparing books except the extension. We do English mostly orally, math takes less than 30 min. He reads the books by himself . We only add foreign language because I speak it. What takes him long is the true story of Noah's ark , he says there are too many words he doesn't understand so ...

I am interested in preparing package . Do I have to buy level 4/5 books to use with dithor or can I use the same books from preparing ? They are not scheduled in the manual . We are only in unit 2 so maybe I am wrong. I am not sure which books from preparing to use with dithor as preparing doesn't s...

He will turn 9 in Sept. , just when I am planning to start Preparing.

He did very well in BJU and he also enjoyed Wordsmith apprentice which covers some writing &grammar concepts .

Last year my son did Bob Jones English 3. Should I get R&S 3 or 4 in Preparing?

The ladies gave you very good advice. I am going to tell you about my experience with my 7yo who has high functioning autism, ( Aspergers ).Like your daughter , he did not comprehend any books without pictures before starting HOD. Even now he has difficulty but the last few weeks after about 30 unit...

A few weeks ago I posted how frustrated I was about my7yo (mildly in the autism spectrum, possibly Aspergers) and my 5yo who did not seem to understand or enjoy any of the books from LHFHG. They could not answer the questions or retell the story . I wanted to update . Occasionally , they still have ...
