I will be a newbie home school mom in the fall and I am leaning towards Heart of Dakota and browsing the forums BUT...
I have no idea what many things are because I don't know the acronyms One day, I'll be an old hat at it but right now I am clueless. Is there a list of frequently used acronyms so I can decipher as to what others are referring? Thanks!

I'll try to help. If I miss any you want, please let me know.

LHTH- little hands to Heaven.
LHFHG- little hearts for his glory
CTC- creation to Christ
RTR- resurrection to revival
Rev to Rev- Revival to Revolution
MTMM- Missions to Modern Marvels
WG- World Geography
WH- World History

RS/R&S- Rod and Staff
TRL- The reading lesson
RME- Reading Made Easy

OSS - One Small Square - these are science books sold in some of the younger HOD guides, 3 sold as part of BHFHG, 2 in PHFHG, and a couple in the lower level book packs.


Other things you may read that HOD doesn't sell:
MFW - My Father's World - this is another curriculum company. Many people here have used both HOD and MFW and sometimes people will talk about a comparison between the two.
AAS or AAR - this is all about spelling or all about reading. This is not sold by HOD but some people will talk about because they have used it
CLE - Christian Light Education - again this is not a product sold by HOD but some people use it and list it in their signature
IYW - Igniting your Writing - this used to be sold by HOD but I don't think it is anymore

You got way more than me! Good job!

I think we were typing at the same time (even though the time stamp shows different). Right when I hit save, yours popped up at the same time

Welcome to the board, CFoscato! I know it can seem like people are talking a foreign language! The ladies shared the main acronyms, but if you ever wonder, be sure to just ask! We have all been there, and we would look forward to helping demystify the acronyms any time!

In Christ,
