That was a big change in mindset for me moving to HOD from our previous program - the idea of "fewer books read more slowly". But a refreshing one! Despite all I had read about CM and her methods, I had not known that this was an idea she advocated. I think because our previous program was a mix of CM and Classical, so I didn't realize what the difference really was. Also, the idea that children should be doing their own readings by age 9 if they are able to. I am still trying to read all the books my daughter reads first, even though I know I can trust HOD's choices, but it is becoming a challenge! She simply has more time to read than I do!
