Hey everyone! This will be our first year using HOD. I have been all over the website and having issues deciding what i need to buy to get the full sets for my kindergartner and 3rd grader. Can anyone help me? What i have in my cart is over $600 so i want to be sure i have it right before i checkout! Thank you

What guides will you be using?
For K, you could pick LHTH or LHFHG. For third grade, you would be considering Beyond, Bigger, and Preparing.
Once you let us know the guides, we can list the items you need.

Another option is to call HOD, and they will help you over the phone

Hi there! Welcome to the HOD Board, and I'd be glad to help! Each of the guides you are looking at has helpful tips on how to order that walk you through the ordering process. With HOD, you get to customize your guides with choices on LA, math, Bible, devotional, girl/boy interests, etc. type things. This is something I've LOVED about HOD! I get the structure of a completely planned out guide for me, but I get the choices to customize for each of my children's individual needs - and it's all in one guide - hooray!

So, for LHFHG, here is the link - just click on the lightbulb at the top...
http://www.heartofdakota.com/little-hearts-packages.php
***Basically, you order...
*K or 1st Economy Package (based on fine motor skills abilities)
*K or 1st Basic Package (based on science and math level abilities)
*one of two Bibles, Family Time is easier and often the K choice; 101 Favorite Bible Stories is harder and often the 1st grade choice
*one of 4 handwriting workbooks (K choices to practice writing letters - A Reason for HW K OR Italic A; 1st grade choices to practice writing words/sentences - A Reason for HW A OR Italic B
*one of the phonics programs (listed from easiest to hardest - The Reading Lesson w/or without CD, Reading Made Easy w/or without workbooks, Sound Bytes Reading)

For Bigger Hearts, here is the link - just click on the lightbulb at the top...

***Basically, you order...
*Economy Package
*Science Package
*Extension Package (order only for students ages 10-11)
*Basic Package with either 2A/2B or 3A/3B math (based on math level abilities)
*choose a reading level (listed from easiest to hardest - Emerging Reader Set, Drawn into the Heart of Reading 2/3 Package, Drawn into the Heart of Reading 4/5 Package for older students); if you choose Drawn into the Heart of Reading, you'll either choose to order whatever level of books fit your child's reading ability by choosing a DITHOR Book Pack, or choose to use your library)
*choose one of the cursive workbooks (Cheerful Cursive OR Italic D)
*choose one read-aloud set (Boy, Girl, Classic)

Presto! That's it! You'll then have everything you need to start your awesome year homeschooling with HOD! If this brings up further questions, ask away though!

In Christ,
Julie

Thank you sooo much! We have been homeschooling for 2 years and for 2 years i have been looking and wanting this curriculum. Im finally just doing it! I cannot wait to start! the thought of having everything planned for me is just heaven on earth!! Thanks again!

I'm so glad to have helped, and I'm even more excited for you to begin enjoying HOD with your kiddos! We pray for those who the Lord wills to use HOD to be drawn to it - you are obviously one of those special ladies He's matched up with HOD! I hope you have a wonderful year, and please do keep asking questions if you have any more.

In Christ,
Julie
