new here-placement question
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 8:50 pm
Hello everyone,
This summer my family will be moving to China as part of my husband's M.Div in world missions. I will be homeschooling our then 10 year old daughter who has been in a small Christian school since pre-school. She will have completed 3rd grade. I've checked the placement charts and she is falling between two levels. She is a very advanced reader, but she has dysgraphia, and writing is a struggle for her. My first thought was to place her in Bigger w/extensions, but I am wondering if Preparing would be better? I would love to hear others suggestions!

I agree with John's mom, I think "Bigger Hearts..." would be a good fit. Bigger Hearts is a great program, and I think you would both really enjoy it. There is still enough of a challenge there for your dd, and you can add the extensions for her to read to fit her advanced reading skills. I would not do the written follow-ups to the extensions though, as the writing in the daily plans of BHFHG will be enough. I hope your upcoming move goes smoothly, and also that your dh will be able to reach the hearts for the Lord of those in China!
