how do you do a program 1/2 pace?

I am just wondering how people do a program 1/2 pace. Obviously you would do math everyday but what about everything else?
thanks

There are any number of variations, but the most common is to do the left side one day and the right side the other day. You can also choose to do math, reading, and handwriting everyday, which I have always done when going 1/2 speed. Given that I do some of the right side everyday and I like to find an order that works for us, I usually try it out 2 or 3 days and by then I know how I want to do it. Then I make a checklist template on the computer that I just print out for each unit. It has the boxes listed in order for each day of the unit (which would be 10 instead of 5).

We are only going half speed over the summer, we just do the left side one day and right side the next. That's it...

Here's a couple of threads with some different ways people do 1/2 speed in different programs.
