Hello, I am asking for help in placing my 13 dd (she'll be 14 in mid December) who will be in 8th grade this fall. We have done HOD in the past. She has completed Bigger in 3rd grade and CTC in 5th grade. We have done other more eclectic (classical and CM) things in between. I have the guide and a f...

Ahhh, got it. thank you again Stephanie and Julie. I think it is all cleared up now in my head. I am excited to start DITHOR with my dd now that I know the plan! I will be ordering within the next week. You guys are great! thanks again.

Thanks Stephanie. :) Well now that I looked, I see she has only 2 ER books left after this one we are currently reading....guess I should have checked that first. That makes it easier. We can finish these up then order the next set. As far as ordering the next level-- I looked at both sets (2 and 3)...

Hi- I have a quick question about Emerging Reader. My newly turned 9 year old is doing Bigger this year. Prior to Bigger, she was in a private Christian school. I wasn't sure where to place her as far as reading (ER or DITHOR) so after asking for advice on this board, I bought the ER set (I bought/s...

Hi- This is my 2nd time to post a question on the HOD message board this year. I am new to homeschooling and we just finished our 3rd week. My oldest dd is 8.5 and is currently in Bigger. I also have a 4.5 dd doing LHTH, and my 2.5 ds is just hanging out. My question revolves around our daily schedu...

Hi ! Just wanted to let all of you know that helped me out that I just placed my order! :) I feel such a relief already having that part done. I order the Bigger package with science, and the last half of the ER reader set as recommended. I am very excited to begin this journey with HOD. Thank you a...

That being said, I think I am now leaning towards purchasing the ER set ($65) for my daughter. And the girl interest deluxe book package ($58). And not buying the Level 2/3 readers in the DITHOR package at this time. But I will wait patiently to see what Julie and anyone else recommends. :) Thanks a...

Just to clarify-- the Amelia Bedelia books my daughter has recently read is not the same Amelia Bedelia book that is in the Emerging Readers set.That book is by Peggy Parish. The 2 books my daughter read are by Herman Parish (they weren't released until 2013). They are a bit more advanced than that ...

Wow, what great responses and such a nice welcome! Thanks to each of you for your thougtful replies. It really helps make my decision easier to move forward with HOD in light of the help I have recieved. To know there is such support with this program is just more affirmation that this is the direct...

Hi- I am a new homeschooler this year and I have pretty much decided that HOD is the route I want to go for my daughter. I do have a few questions that I was hoping to get help. I have 3 children.....oldest girl is 8 and just finished 2nd grade at a private Christian school. I also have a 4 year old...
