Question about Extensions

Post by school4princesses » Sun Nov 25, 2012 6:49 pm

Hi there,

This is our first year with HOD and with Charlotte Mason ideas in general. As such, when my 8th grader began Rev2Rev, I did not have her doing any extensions. I want to change that up now that we are past that initial transition. But I am unsure of how these are supposed to work. Are the extension books supposed to be used in place of the Storytime books from the Basic package? Are they supposed to be read in addition to the Storytime books? Or is it going to be different for each student? Thanks for the help. :)

For us in CTC I'm using the storytime books as the extension package, DD1 listens in and then reads it her self and she gets an additional written assignment on the extension book 3 days a week. Some days it's a paragraph or a comic strip or spoken and I scribe, then give it to her to type up. She then places her finished work in her extensions note book.

Carrie has clear instructions in the back of the guide in the appendix, a little digging and you will find it. :-)
