Re: Reading aloud issues, health concerns...help? Vent

Also, is the 10 year old able to read to the younger kids? Possibly could your husband read in the evenings? That would be like pulling teeth here but I know some men like to read. :wink:

Re: Reading aloud issues, health concerns...help? Vent

Home school co_op had a years subscription to Tales 2go for very cheap. I think $39. It had a lot of great classics and books. Also has songs. It is only for apple things though (iPod etc.) Also check your library. I can order pretty much any audio book I need. Try interlibrary loans if your regular...

Help with what i need to buy

I've decided to go with Bigger for my daughter and preparing for my son. I am going to buy the economy pack for each but money is tight so could someone please let me know what I definitely need for the first 8 weeks or so. I am going to do our own math and English that we have. I am getting the DIT...

Re: New to HOD - ? about kids age 8 and 13

Thank you so much. I will have him read this and then decide.
Also, is it doable to use the library instead of purchasing all the books? If I am going to be buying two different levels I won't be able to get everything right now.

I really appreciate all of your guys help. God bless.

Re: New to HOD - ? about kids age 8 and 13

I've/been reading more posts on this forum and I see a few people have used Bigger with two children similar in ages to mine. Would that be an easier/better choice for me?

Re: New to HOD - ? about kids age 8 and 13

Thank you so much for the response. You bring up some great points. I looked at the books and I need clarification. The books in the economy pack are to be read by the student alone? Is that for each level or just starting at C to C? He can read those books but would he? I doubt it. My other Hesitan...

New to HOD - ? about kids age 8 and 13

I have been looking at HOD for awhile now. I have two kids. My son just turned 13. He reads we'll but doesn't enjoy reading. He can narrate almost word for word. He still enjoys being read to. He is a horrible speller but this is mainly my fault because of my lack in doing this consistently. Languag...
