Hi! I am new here and unfortunately can't help you out. Sorry! I just wanted to bump up your post so hopefully some others can help you out! We are excited to start using HOD this fall and this board helped me in placement of my daughter.

I am sorry to say I can't help you with your questions. (I am new here too!) I just wanted to bump your post up so more people would see it and maybe be able to help you. I have a little girl who I will be starting in Beyond this fall and I am very excited to use HOD! Some of the ladies here have be...

Thank you for your responses! Pam, when I said "repeat of what she has done this year" I simply meant that when reading the placement chart nearly all of the skills listed for the LHFHG are skills we have been working on this year in Kindergarten, and the skills listed for Beyond sound perfect for h...

After reading your post I wonder if there was something specific that made you switch to LtR or just because the other one seemed to no longer interest your child? Do they both take about the s...

Thank you so much, Julie! That really helped to see the two phonic programs being compared! HOD sounds like a perfect fit for what I am wanting. It is so exciting! To think that I thought I had next year all figured out and just wanted a good history program to add to it and now God has lead me to H...

Thank you, Heidi and Beth! Do either of you have a preferred program for phonics? One that is that really helps teach step by step?

Hi. I am trying to find a good fit for us next year. I have a 5 yr old daughter who is in Kindgarten this year (using SL P 4/5), so she will be 6 and starting 1st Grade next year. I found CLE recently and really love the gentle approach they seem to have in their material and I had planned on doing ...
