I am seriously considering starting Bigger in the near future. I will not be able to purchase the entire program right away but may be able to swing buying the guide and the books that are used for the early units.
Would it be possible to share all titles with me (including extention) used for the first six units?
Thank you so much!

In addition to this you need the genres Biography and Adventure for your story time. That should give you the best of everything for the first six units.

Thank you so much!
What about the books Hymn's for a Kid's Heart and Little Pillows? Would I need Cheerful Cursive and Rod and Staff English 2 as well?

also one small square books can be found in the library but are usually under just the name "back yard" or "seashore" you have to go digging in the shelves to find them.

Yes all of these will be used from the first unit.

TeacherMom,
If you had to economize, you would definitely want the Rod and Staff English 2 and the Cheerful Cursive first, even though I dearly love Hymns for a Kid's Heart and Little Pillows. You definitely will need the grammar coverage and the cursive from the beginning though, and could add on the other 2 resources as finances allow.
Blessings,
Carrie

Oh I am so sorry I forgot those. I am so glad you asked. I was worried I would forget something. So glad you caught that. Sorry about that.

Don't forget to tap into your library's inter-library loan feature. We started off with the economize plan, as well and over time we've gradually been able to fold in additional resources. It is working well. Happy planning!
