Basic or extension pckg for PHFHG?

Post by Charika30 » Wed Jun 11, 2014 12:52 pm

Hi everyone,

Do I need to purchase the basic history read aloud package AND the extensions package for a 6th and 7th grader doing PHFHG? In addition to the primary history books, it says the basic additional history books r highly recommended. But is this still the case for those choosing to do extensions package?

Thanks in advance!

The basic package are storytime read-alouds and you definitely want those, they add a lot to the history content. The extensions are purely add-on for the child to read themselves. I guess some people do have their child read both but read-aloud time is so enjoyed in my family I think even with an older child I would still read it aloud to them.

It is intended to use the basic package books, they are scheduled each day in the guide.

For sixth and seventh graders, I would do both unless there is a reason they are unable to do the reading themselves of the extensions. You have a super year ahead of you in PHFHG - we have great memories of PHFHG with our sons!!! I look forward to doing it again down the road with my youngest. Have s good year! :D :D :D
