The chronology of Egypt is highly debatable. I think everyone is beginning to see that the old chronology they were so comfortable with has some problems, but they can't seem to agree what it should be. That's my understanding, and I believe, Diana Waring goes into this on the CDs. So, while we may ...

Thank you! looks like I wasn't far off in my estimation.

I guess I assumed that the DITHOR time in the Language Arts block was for the DITHOR workbooks and lessons, not for the reading. I saw somewhere that the DITHOR work takes about 20min. And yet a bunch of pages were to be read each day or week. I can't remember now where I saw the page number recomme...

I don't see a schedule for reading the literature books for DITHOR. Are they supposed to be read in the child's own time? Everyday? How many pages per day for a 4/5 level child who is using the boy book set?

I'm going to use this next week to plan and I was just curious if anyone can give me an idea of the approximate amount of time for each block. I tried to make my own estimates of how long I thought it would take, and I can't make it fit in 4hrs. How long do you take to do these blocks. Here's my est...

I understand that, by nature, an estimation isn't necessarily accurate, obviously. But I wouldn't expect for it to be *that* far off. ...

Thanks Countrymom.

Starting with Preparing Hearts, are there any guides which are 5 day plans?

I'm trying to place a 15yo with dyslexia and other learning disorders. I think he will either be in Preparing Hearts or CTC. Am I understanding correctly that CTC history books are read independently? My son reads independently at about a 6th grade level, but with a 3rd grade fluency speed. I actual...

I can easily see the scope and sequence of history, math, and grammar but what about the other subjects like narration? I'm sure it starts out with just oral narrations and progresses to written. One guide said there was lots of handholding. Can someone please outline the scope and sequence of narra...
