I just went online to the Florida convention website. HOD will be there, I almost jumped off the sofa Looking forward to seeing you!

Any help on how to pick where to start Studied Dictation or pick a level? I'm sure it has been discussed so a link to it would be helpful.

Thanks

One of my sons is a natural speller and has been doing the list in the back of Bigger. We will be starting Preparing and I am wondering how to handle the studied dictation. I read in one post that a mom had her child do the dictation at the top of each column until she found what level he needed to ...

Thank you. I bookmarked it this time

I was looking through the thread on the "Let's share our schedules" section. Julie had posted a link to "organizing Preparing" and had posted what she (and others) did to get organized. In was a 2011 posting because Julie was getting organized for Riley's year of Preparing. I can't find the link aga...

Thanks, Got it

Thanks again. I have not heard of reinforced filler paper - I will be checking that out!. I appreciated all the ideas. I got my box with Preparing this week!! Must. Stay. Focused. On. Bigger - LOL. I'm so excited to start ancient history with the Biblical history woven throughout. I have never been ...

Thank you both for your replies. I will be implementing those ideas. That helped me get out of my "stuck" mode. I like the idea of a notebook for vocab with alphabet tabs.

Thanks again
Becky

Hi there, I too have a ds who taught himself how to read and is an advanced reader with good comprehension. He is now 8. I will be backtracking on some phonics instruction for the benefit of spelling. He has been doing the studied dictations in Bigger this year and has had very slow progress. A big ...

We will be starting preparing in a few weeks. Also will be starting DITHOR 2/3. I see DITHOR is scheduled 3 days a week. So by my calculations a 15 day book would take 5 weeks to complete? Then the book project for the week after that is week 6. Correct?

Thanks

I am trying to figure out how to organize preparing. I just ordered my stuff from HOD, but only have the initial 1 week posting from the web site sample. This year I printed papers, or had the boys do their work on loose papers. Then store them in plastic sleeves in a binder. So. much. clutter! I wa...
