Back, with a question
Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2009 8:29 am
Hello ladies! It's been quite a while since I've been on the boards....I've missed all of you. I'm really going to need to catch up!
I did not start the year with HOD, though we have done some more of Bigger...that we needed to finish. We just did not have the extra money at the time to buy what we wanted to get. However, I am planning to purchase what I need for PHFHG AND HFHTT in just a couple of weeks. We are actually moving again at the beginning of November, so I'll wait to place the order once we're there...back to Florida, at least temporarily.
Anyway, here is my question, in a round about way. My daughter is reading books from the Dolphin Adventures series and loves them. I am looking into purchasing books for her to read with DITHOR but I'm unsure which book pack to choose....level 2 or 3? She's technically in 4th grade and her reading is MUCH improved, but I know reading aloud will be more difficult so I don't want to have something that's too advanced. What do you think? I noticed one of the levels (2 I think) includes one of the Dolphin Adventures books.
I am also wondering about the read alouds for CTC. If I understand correctly, I can choose to read books aloud for history or have my son read the extension pack for history and skip the read alouds or choose to do both. Is that correct? I want to make sure when I place my order that I have everything I need to start as soon as we get it.
I'm looking forward to getting back into HOD...even though we'll be a little behind. But, I'm not gonna stress about it this year. It seems life causes us to be behind in some way every year so I'm just going with the flow this time. I can't wait to hear what you ladies have to say, and I am so thrilled to be back to catch up on all the 'news' from the boards!
