Thank you for the prep info!

I started with MUS and switched them when we started HOD last year. My son 7 had done the Primer and most of Alpha. My daughter 5 had finished the Primer only. I like Singapore a lot. The kids do as well. The math activities listed in the HOD manuals really help prepare the kids for the written work...

We celebrated my father's 18th birthday yesterday! He was born 2/29/40 - My children think it is cool that I have had more birthdays than he has! We had no snow though - it was in the low 80's here in the Fl Panhandle!

The only advice I can offer is to maybe start writing down all your questions and concerns as they come to mind so you can refer to them when you are meeting with the doctor or talking to others who know more about this type of learning disability- I tend to forget everything at the moment I need to...

Smiling with you!!

HOD has brought blessing upon blessings to our home! God is soooooo Good!!!! Thank you for sharing! You blessed me!

I will be interested in seeing responses from this thread as well. My daughter is 5 and 1/2 and we may be doing Beyond next year but with the ER set, not DITHOR. I plan on waiting until we get close to the end of Little Hearts and and then I will take a look at where she falls on the placement chart...

You are going to have a HUGE box of goodies!! We are doing Little Hearts and Beyond this year! Box day was SO EXCITING for us and I still love thinking about the unused material we still get to do this year!!

Thinking about you and praying for you! I love the one on one time with my dc. I am very strict about the other child leaving me alone while I teach. I am not available to put on barbie clothes, or fix broken lego creations but I am available if there is blood. :D I like the child who is NOT being t...

me too, me too!

Yay! I'm so glad you thought of a way to make it work! Reading IS hard work! My dd is learning to read words like queen, shine, squeak, this and that. She has so much to remember - counting vowels, what sound th or sh or qu says. PLUS those s's on the ends! I like the idea of taking turns to give th...

Hi. We are day 2 into unit 16. Our book right now is Prairie School. I think the Nature book is 2 books away. I can't speak about that book yet, but I am finding that my ds is a little TOO fast in general and I have to make him go back and re-read sentences for me. He subs words quite a bit (he will...

My husband was asking me lots of questions the other night about HOD. Does anyone know approx how many households are using this curriculum? Thanks!

I wanted to give an update on my daughter's progress with her comprehension of the Burgess books. We've now finished Reddy Fox, The Adventures of Peter Cottontail, and are within a few days of completing The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse. She enjoys Storytime very much, listens attentively and is...

Welcome! We are new to HOD this year and I'm in love with it! My kids are too. We are doing Beyond and Little Hearts for His Glory. I love having one on one time with each of them! I am so glad you've found HOD!!! Let us know how things are going and what you think once you get settled in!

We are doing Beyond with my 7yo son and LHFHG with my 5yo daughter. I save Story Time to do at the very end of school for each of them. I like getting everything done in one sitting.
