Talk me through my Bigger order

Post by 6timeboymom » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:30 pm

ok, I typed that originally as "my Bigger ODOR" :lol: oops!

Anyway, now that Ben can read :!: I think I will combine him and Jamie for school since Jamie asked me to. If I get bigger...and use the emerging readers for Ben, (which I find I already own all of them! woo hoo!) I could get the extension package for Jamie, and then I would need the next level up in grammar for him, right? I already have DITHOR, and readers, and handwriting and math, so what am I missing?

I may have to order now and then I can spend the time I was going to use for shopping at the conference in June doing something else! lol!

Darci,

I'm sorry but I'm not remembering the ages of the boys you are referring to who would be doing "Bigger...". I think that would really help me to know what you may be missing if I knew their ages and also if I knew whether you were using the language arts and math as written in "Bigger...". :D

If you get a chance to post that info., we can all help better! :wink:

Blessings,
Carrie

oh, duh! :oops:
Ben is my 7 year old and Jamie is my 9 year old. Ben will be 8 in May.
I think it will work out to put them together, although personality wise it would be nice to put my 12 year old and the 7 year old together! :lol:

Darci,

It looks like you will be set then! You can weigh whether or not your Jamie will need a higher level of Rod and Staff English based on what he's had previously for English. Of course, if he's already done Rod and Staff 2, just bump on up to 3. But, if he hasn't had much grammar you could start him in Rod and Staff 2 or 3, it's your call.

So, it looks like you would need the items in the Economy Package with the Science Adder. You would also need to add the items from the Basic Package that you want to include in your program.

The last choice will be how you want to cover the read-alouds in "Bigger..." (whether to order a Deluxe Package or whether to put together your own read-alouds based on the suggestions we give in the Appendix).

Hope that helps! It sounds like you are all together! It's wonderful when those little guys become readers, isn't it! It opens all sorts of new doors to them! :D

Blessings,
Carrie
