Thank you very much ladies for talking me through this. I was leading towards Preparing and you helped push me over! That makes me feel better! Thank you again!

Thank you Stephanie. By the time we start, I think he would be close to the end of the ERs.

I need help placing my 10 year old son, please. He places pretty much in Preparing except for reading. He just started reading in Jan. 2017 and it’s has been sloooow moving, but it is picking up. No matter what level we go with, I will have to do a lot of the reading because his brain gets tired. He...

Julie,

I think your correct and we need to go with Level 4. Thank you.

Thank you, Julie. I think that is the way we are going to go.

I think, my son is about to start Res. to Ref. This will be his first time using HOD since Bigger. I notice in RtR that the LA starts in the last half of R&S so since he hasn’t done the first half of either book, I’m not sure where to start. Could I have some help, please?

Often finding the right fit can take a bit of pondering. I honestly think you could do either CTC or RTR. Both have advantages placement-wise to your son's situation. I just wanted to mention CTC as a possibility as you are thinking through things, so you don't wonder later if you get going with RT...

Thank you Carrie, for responding. You make a lot of good points, of course. I will look at CTC, too, and go from there’s.

Thank you Julie!

Thank you very much, Nealewill, that sounds like a great plan.

For grammar some in Preparing, some in. CtC and some in Res. to Ref.

Hello! I am needing to place my 12 yo son (he will be 12 years and 8 months when we start). He is all boy and doesn’t really “like”school, simply because he rather be outside playing or outside working. He is mostly independent in his school work. He is really behind in writing composition and gramm...

I am a reading specialist, and I believe with all that is in me that All About Reading is the best program out there. It is based in Orton Gillingham, so it should be good for a dyslexic child. Thank you for the suggestion. However, it was not a fit for us, at all. We tried it more than once, at di...

Thank you ladies for the encouragement and suggestions. I also talked to Julie this evening and that was such a wonderful treat and encouragement. I have to commit this all to prayer and go from there. Whatever I choose, I've gotta stick with it from start to finish! I told Julie I would. Thank you ...

Thank you Julie.
