My son has been slowly growing in written narrations over the last two years, first with Preparing Hearts and now with CTC. This year has been challenging for him because both in the writing book and the written narrations, he has been learning about what a paragraph is. He has to master this skill ...

Ladies I am in need of some advice. My 9 year old son is doing Preparing for 3rd grade and loving it. The other day he came up to me and said "Mom what does having sex mean?" Jaw drops....where did you hear that? (I was fully expecting to hear from the neighbors, or YouTube, or some other place). Ho...

Thank you Carrie! I think we will enjoy some cuddle time and just read those books together the last two weeks and start Preparing Drawn Into Heart of Reading with folk tales too. Best of both worlds and we can enjoy those great books!

So next week my son will be finishing up his realistic fiction project and presenting it. Then, I will only have two weeks left of the Bigger manual. So, does that mean I do nothing for DITHOR for the last two weeks? Read the folk tale books for fun? I am just trying to figure out those last two wee...

Hello, When looking at the new guide pages, I see that the grammar box looks different too. Rather than saying Rod and Staff p. 1-2 for example it now says something about levels and units. Have the assignments changed? Also, if we just bought the guide for this past year, do you think it is necessa...

Thank you kindly for responding! We are a week in and LOVE both Bigger and Drawn into the Heart of Reading. He is excelling in ways I never expected! If the assignment is to read outloud for that day I usually let him choose the pages and practice first by himself and when he is ready he come to me....

We are so happy we chose HOD!! After finishing Little Hearts my son was ready to start Beyond for 1st grade. While he excelled in the reading and math he struggled with the copywork and the read alouds (he has Tourette's Syndrome which makes it hard to speak at times without verbal tics). However, a...

Hello, My son is starting up Bigger next week. We are finishing up Beyond this week. What a treat this program is! I have seen so much growth in my son and am thrilled we chose HOD! My main question with Bigger is when he starts Drawn into the Heart of Reading, is he supposed to read the material al...

I am so thankful for the new emails from Carrie! They come at EXACTLY the right time and touch on something I need to hear! Last week my son was getting into multiplication, and she mentioned the Bible Skip Counting CD. My son loves them now and already is requesting the "woo woo count by twos!". He...

What a wonderful testimony!!! As my son just started my first year of Kindergarten a we are looking forward to many years to come, this is what I needed to hear to bring motivation, encouragement, and the peace of the Lord! Blessings to you!

Thanks so much!! I was hoping to make it to the Cincinnati convention, but decided to enjoy new baby time. I am so thankful for all you do!

Does anyone know when the new catalog comes out? As the mailbox keeps bringing me samples from other companies, I realize I would love to have my HOD catalog to remind me why I love HOD so much!! In the meantime, I would love to hear some positive stories how your homeschool journey has impacted you...

First of all I love this program! It fits my day to a T and I am so thankful the Lord nudged me to the catalog. With a newborn, toddler, preschooler, and kindergartner in the mix it is just the right time to focus on and the activities are simple, allowing for me to not feel overwhelmed. My question...
