Hi, I did call and leave a message but basically very little Easy Grammar, 5th grade level, not much at all. Ummm..can't remember the other question..ha! She has not done any "formal" literature study. Reads books for pleasure, lots. I have another question if someone could help. I just looked at th...

Okay..so we are doing CTC and "MAYBE" Preparing, trying to decide still between it and Trail Guide to learning. Is Dithor difficult to use for someone who does not understand literature study at all?? Also..if my 13 year old has not done "formal" literature study what student level books should we g...

Yes...she is a good reader, good comprehension! Is DITHOR something we can start later? I really just want to get going with what we have and maybe add it later.....

Is there a place to get used HOD stuff?

Heavy Sigh!! Thank you....yes, I think this is the right path. I am feeling more peace about things..... I appreciate EVERYONE and your input! OOPS....one more thing, grammar and writing etc.. are not my area so I have a grammar/writing program that is very self directed. Should I also get DITHOR? W...

Okay...so ready for this? Reading falls under CTC mainly because we have not done "formal" literature study. She loves to read "books she likes" but we haven't done literary study, she reads a lot though.. Writing/Grammar falls under Preparing, Math...I am not sure, she has struggled greatly with Ma...

okay...I am going to do the circles..ha! That helps tremendously, sorry...sometimes my brain just needs someone to say "do this", like circle and then check..ha! I get it now. I will look and come back here. I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU POSTING!!!

You know..she is doing Veritas Press Ancient History, I have paid for a year of it, we could the one after CTC...I will ck placement. I know History should not be how we pick things but I really like studying history Chronologically!

okay..so here is my frustration with the placement charts. I can't easily look and fit her in one guide because she doesn't place nice and neat within the placement charts. She might fit in one area and not another so what do I do then? I look at the books that I think she will enjoy reading, that I...

Again...please do not hesitate to post, I have calmed down... I don't think I was frustrated by your posts as much as just frustrated in general with myself and wanting to get her a good 4 year education, even though I may not do all "high school" stuff. Right now we are in Kansas and we have freedo...

Oh my, I haven't even finished reading everyones posts...thank you so much for your encouragement. I did not mean to offend anyone. It is a LONG story but I would say I have been more of an "unschooler" and really regretting it now. So...sometimes it is hard for me to come to boards and ask question...

UGH....getting confused. I am not sure why but I always end up feeling discouraged when I come here and try to find a fit. We are not a "she is in 8th or 9th grade" so she places in 8th or 9th grade for everything, family. I am not sure why I am frustrated but when I post on here I almost "feel" lik...

Okay..so the only place I see an issue would be in the Grammar placement. But..we are using something other than what is recommended. Her reading skills are good, she LOVES to read and reads well etc... It would mainly be in the area of grammar and writing that we might not be up to par. So...can we...

Hi, I have an older student, she would be on the high end age, 13, for Creation to Christ. I am really wanting to get in a 4 year chronological history with her and because we have not done a lot of formal grammar I think this would be a good fit. Now...in saying that, I am curious as to what kind o...
