Story time with Bigger and Preparing?

[mskogen]

I have an issue. My oldest will be starting Preparing in July. My second will finish Bigger in November and start Preparing right away. He will start it at half-pace, so it will take him all of next year too. (probably) I am trying to get them in completely seperate manuals. My question is about storytime. I don't want either of them to miss the stories. I don't want to read 2 different storytimes (but will if have 2) I LOVE that the storytime is focus @ history in Preparing. Also I will have ds5 in Little Hearts and dd3 in LHTH. So combining for the oldest stroytime would be great!!! I appreciate any and all ideas. Thanks!

HI there, Michelle! Since both of them will be doing PHFHG (though younger half-speed), I think I'd just read PHFHG Storytime to the 2 of them for that year. Then, the following year, while your oldest does CTC and your younger finishes out PHFHG, could you have your oldest read the CTC Storytime independently, and you could read the Boy Interest from CTC to the 2 of them for your Storytime read-aloud, and do the responses together? Starting with RTR, HOD suggests the option of either having dc independently read the Storytime, or of the parent still reading it as a read aloud. So, you'd just be doing this one year early. Those are just a few ideas I had, but I'm sure others will have some thoughts too!

In Christ,
Julie
