Eggleston's books for Bigger

Post by Daph » Tue Mar 29, 2011 12:19 pm

I was really nervous about using these, and how they'd work out for us, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I like how it's written like someone telling children a story. :D I really like how the bigger words are hyphenated, so that the kids can see how they're pronounced.

I think I like Charlotte Mason and "living" books. :D

Daph,

I'm so glad to hear that your kiddos are enjoying these! Eggleston's stories were a huge hit at our house too! We learned so much as we read them (me included)! :D

Thanks for sharing! :D

Blessings,
Carrie

We really liked them as well. DD kept wanting more. It was a refreshing change to read a narrated story instead of a lot of dialogue too.

Loved... Loved.. Loved.. and now again Loving... Loving... Loving... Eggleston at our house! :lol: My oldest ds raved about Eggleston, and now my middle ds does as well. In fact, my oldest is counting the days until Riley is finished with Bigger Hearts. I told Wyatt he couldn't read the Eggleston books while Riley and I are, as they are special to Riley's time spent in Bigger Hearts. Wyatt is really ready for Riley to be done. :lol: I'm glad your dc are enjoying them too!
