So, if I print off the free dictation day by day level 3, it would just have some extra sections that Carrie might have taken out if she did not feel were necessary? I don't want to buy another guide yet but we really need the next level, we are in our 2nd week of school and the girls got through ev...

I'm confused about dictation. I am using Bigger and my girls have gone through all spelling words and all of dictation in Bigger. I am a member of the yahoo group but confused as to the Dictation Day by Day levels that you can print off because in Bigger it says its level 1. On the yahoo group is sa...

Actually that is what I decided to do to be able to combine 3 of my kids. I am starting Little Hearts when one of my kids will be 8 in 3rd grade and another will be 6 in 1st grade and another 5 in K. Each child will have their own level of english and math. (english including phonics/DITHOR, spellin...

We are doing Bigger with extensions with a 11yo and 9yo but using our own Math (teaching textbooks) and our own grammar and writing (GWG and WWW) I am also doing Little Hands for my preschoolers but they will also be doing AAR level pre-1 but at different paces. My almost 5yo will be doing Math and ...

As you have seen, I have been trying to work starting 3 guides and Dithor with our large family. I have changed up my plans! I am hoping that this isn't a terrible idea......but here goes. My oldest 2 will be starting Bigger with extensions and dithor (they are at the older end the range for this gu...

I am going to be doing Little Hands, Little Hearts and Bigger with extensions. I am trying to figure out how to get it all done so I am dividing it up throughout the day. Do you think the sample times I have for each thing will work? During Breakfast: Little Hands bible story and devotional 10min Li...

Another question, I am doing Bigger with extensions with my 9 and 10yo's. I think we will quickly go through the spelling/dictation to make sure they haven't missed something, but was wondering what level this is geared for? We are using Bigger on the upper end of the range so we probably would need...

I forgot where I had found this.....how long each box takes
I need Little Hands (30 min I think)
Little Hearts
Bigger
Thanks,

Well, I think I will take some time today to look over the book again and really see if we can pull it off. Maybe it is not as complicated as I had thought. Thanks for the links and thoughts! Sherry

Hi everyone, I am getting ready to start Bigger with extensions, Little Hearts and Little Hands with my kids (5 doing school and two 1yo's) I have everything for DITHOR for my girls doing Bigger and its not that it doesn't look good, but it just looks kind of teacher intensive. It is already hard to...

Hi everyone, I ordered all my materials and got them last week! I am so excited and everything looks great! We will be doing Bigger with Extensions for my 9 and 10yo. I ordered LHTH for my 3yo and 4yo and we did a lesson today and it went great! I also got LHFHG for my 6yo. He is ready for it and I ...

I am trying to determine placement. Lauren and Abby, ages 10, 9, place in Bigger with Extensions (4th and 5th grade in the fall).....My 6yo Isaac, 1st in the fall, places in Little Hearts but I think the History readings will be over his head--he is very distractable---I was thinking of waiting unti...

So do Bigger for my oldest 2, and Little Hands for my 3yo and 4yo but then that leaves my 6yo to do Little Hearts? So when the babies get older we would be running 4 guides? Is this feasible?

I am considering using Heart of Dakota for my kids in the fall. I will have a 4th and 5th grader that I was going to do Bigger with Extensions, I will have a 1st grader that I was going to do Little Hearts(hes still working on cvc words) and possibly include our 4yo when she learns her letters (she ...
