Re: Placement question. Ctc or res to ref

Thank you both for taking the time to respond. I think we will skip ctc. She is a strong reader. I don't want to move her so far ahead that she would struggle, but I do want her to feel challenged. Thank you for your help.

Re: Placement question. Ctc or res to ref

Placement question. Ctc or res to ref

Re: New User - Curriculum guidance

Thank you both for your encouragement. I was really going back and forth, but I am going to do Preparing. It really helped to hear that your son also placed in CTC and Preparing was a better fit. I am really excited about HOD. I am sure I will have lots of questions. I am thankful this board is here...

Re: New User - Curriculum guidance

After reading throught the archived post on Preparing, I am thinking I should probably start with PHFHG rather than CTC. Dictation and narration will be new for us and it seems like Preparing would be a good place for us to begin . I think it just bugged me to start her below the recommended age. I ...
