Thank you!!

My oldest son is finishing up WG guide and then will move into WH in the Fall. He will be a sophomore. That is going well but I need to work on doing a better job of consistently checking in with him and grading. My next two I believe will fit into Preparing well together. My 11 yr old will be 6th g...

He is doing pretty well in LHTH. We are moving slowly through it. It is imperative I do school with him which is why I choose HOD. He needs my one on one attention and it doesn't take long to do. He also has a work box drawer with hands on things to work through as he desires. I don't push and somet...

I'm in unit 8 of LHTH. My son just turned 4 in December. He is liking it but I feel I have a hard time getting him to say the letter sounds as he does the masking tape box. He loves when I read to him and I tell him made up stories all the time. He really enjoys that. But when I'm reading him the Bi...

I'm curious if this has changed as well. I'm assuming it has since this original post was from 2008. In fact I read the post thinking Carrie had just posted this but when I went back to reread it I realized it was a old post.

Thank you for sharing this idea! I will be using it with my 6 year old as well!

That's great he has taken off glperky! We are just getting to lesson 6 and I am afraid of moving to it in fear of confusing my guy. So it's encouraging to hear your guy taking off

Mercy,
I love this idea!

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Lora Beth. So that would get us through English 3. Then in the following guides it's scheduled 3 days so you would finish half a book a guide?

What is the pacing through the guides for R&S. We are in Bigger now and enjoying English 2. But in Preparing is Grammer only 3 days a week? And is that how it is scheduled from Preparing on up? Only 3 days a week?

Thanks!

Sorry glperky. Didn't realize you hadn't even started.

Or maybe backing up a level to cover the confusing stuff on a lower level. I'm not sure if that would help. But if it builds on skills maybe that would help. Maybe you should do a post about R & S. maybe some more experienced moms could help you with that:) I think I'm rambling. Lol! Maybe I should ...

Okay we are using English 2 and it is super easy so far. I imagine English 5 is a lot more difficult and diagraming going on. They say it is an advance program so I completely understand. Did the Teachers Guide help you at all?

If you don't mind me asking...how come you don't like Rod and Staff? We have used a couple different things and really like R&S so far:) I was just curious what you didn't like. Thanks!:)

Thanks ladies! My Dd doesn't really like math but she is doing amazing and is very bright. She would much rather read a book:) But maybe math will be one of my boys interest. In that case I can see where you would want algebra in 8th grade. I am so thankful for you ladies!
