After looking through the guides (I have done up to CTC with my oldest). I have never used the language arts part before. (We used spell to write and read but it doesn’t work well with my 9 yr old) It appears using the language arts from the guide they do not learn the spelling rules. Do you add the...

Where would you place a student that has done spelling using spell to write and read up to 5th grade? Would you start with the 6th dictation? That’s what I was planning bc she is using Res to Ref this fall and technically 6th grade. I got so tired of SWR. It wasn’t working for my 2nd child. But my y...

Hello, Question. My son has had a hard time with learning to read. We have used the Reading Lesson. He is 8 yrs old (I have considered this year his 2nd grade year) and will be 9 this summer.

I have an 8 yr old daughter going through Bigger HFHG this year. She is a very motivated child. She wants to do school and was wanting me to let her do more independent work.

Hello I have a lengthy question that I need feedback on. Here is a little background. We have used the HOD guides for LHTH, LHFHG, BLHFHG, & now BHFHG. And while doing guide we have tacked on Classical Conversations (CC). Now I know and have read lengthy on the difference in methods and I don't want...

Thanks everyone that's been super helpful. I plan on enjoying the rest of LHFHG. I am prob going to double up on days we fly through. And look into adding more books!

Oh that's helpful to know! We are in Unit 17. I am leaning toward just finishing it up.

I need some help here in thinking. I have a 6 yr old girl who will be 7 in April. And she has been going through the Little Hearts For His Glory guide last fall. So we are about half way done. My question is whether I should quit LHFHG and move to starting Beyond Little Hearts for His Glory. Here is...

I am trying to decide what to do with my almost 6 year old (daughter) and almost 4 year old (son). I have been using Little Hands to Heaven and both have done it. My 6 year old is also halfway done with the Reading Lesson. I really am trying to avoid using two different guides right now. I will even...

Lacy has helped me so much sharing her experience and helpful links to read from these boards! And so my journey begins! I ordered Little Hands to Heaven and am excited for its arrival!! My oldest turns four in April and I am hoping this will be a perfect fit for us! God has recently convinced me to...
