We're in the same place
I'm finishing up ECC with my just turned 10 yos in a couple of weeks & plan to start Preparing in September. So if you decide to go that way, I'll be looking forward to comparing notes with you! I used several MFW years with my daughter (now in high school) & she loved it, but my son is a different ...

I'm going to use Preparing with my 10 yob/5th grader. I haven't decided yet whether to use R&S English 3 or 4. I have both books and just really started looking at them a few days ago. For math, we have MCP. We've used BJU for the past few years & feel like we're ready for a change. The only other t...

dictation?
Could someone please explain how dictation is used for spelling? (We'll be using Preparing in the fall.) Does the child correct his mistakes immediately & go on or is it used as a guide for what words to study? I was thinking that this might be something that we could practice over the summer as I w...

"Book Projects" levels?
I'm trying to decide which level of "Book Projects to Send Home" to get for my 10 yos. Can anyone give me an example of how difficult the projects are at either level?

Preparing Sample
I can pull the 'Preparing' up on the screen fine, but when I try to print, it's so small I can't read it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

GHILLM as a group Bible study??
Has anyone used this book for a Mom's Bible study? I've been wanting to start a homeschool Mom's group next year & this seems perfect. I was thinking about a monthly meeting - 2 chapters a month. Maybe group e-mails to eachother with our thoughts as we read during the month. I've never tried to star...

After Preparing
My son is going to start Preparing in the Fall. Do you think that the next level will be ready the following year? If not, I was considering taking 2 years to do Preparing - the first half this year w/R&S English 3 and the second half next year w/R&S English 4. Does this sound doable?

We have used both - MFW K, 1st, a year of history & currently ECC. We used WP for one year. I'm planning to start Preparing with my son in the fall. I didn't find out about HOD until a few months ago! I have enjoyed both programs & they were fine for my daughter. But now that she's in high school, (...

I'll be 45 next month! My husband and I have been married for 16 years. My oldest, Kate, is 14 and doing 9th grade. She has been homeschooled since 2nd grade. She is a voracious reader; enjoys history, science, etc.; and barely tolerates math! She thinks that she wants to finish high school at Chris...

Who will be using Preparing?
Just curious - Who else will be using Preparing in the fall? What else will you be adding? I'll be using it with a 10 yob, Luke. (He turns 10 in 20 days!) He'll be doing R&S 4 for English; MCP for Math. My plan is to do 3 or 4 genres from DITHR this year. His other activities are Kajukenbo (martial ...

Trying to decide what genre some books are...
I'm not planning to start DITHOR until next year, but I've been starting to look through our books that might work. Has anyone used Magic Treehouse books? Would they be fantasy? I was also considering "How to Eat Fried Worms" Any other books that you think a 9 yo boy would like & have worked well wi...

Thank you so much for your reply. According to the placement chart, Preparing with English 4 seems to be where he would be next year: We have worked with grammar/parts of speech, but not done any diagramming yet. He would be happy reading the Independent Reader books. The Extension Pack readers woul...

Preparing Hearts before Bigger Hearts?
Do you think that I could use Preparing Hearts with my 10 yo next year & then Bigger Hearts with the Extension Package the following year? His older sister (high school) will be doing World History next year and American History the following year, so that would keep us together more in our studies....
