I'm considering doing Beyond at half pace. I'm using different materials for Math and Language Arts, but could you tell me how I would do the other parts at half-pace?

Thank you very much!!!

We are doing Beyond 1/2 speed right now. Of course there is more than one way you could proceed, but we are doing the left page one day and the right page the next day and so on. However, we are doing phonics/reading, copywork, and math daily. For the copywork it just gives us more time to do it. For math we are going on ahead, although sometimes I take an extra day for the activities. If you wanted to go slower you could do the activities one day and the workbook the next. Here is what our schedule looks like:
Day 1, left side
Reading (TRL)
History
Bible
Box below History
Poetry
Math

Day 2, right side
Reading
Memory verse review (we don't do the activities on this day)
Short history review ( I added that, I usually do the vocab words and questions at the end of the chapter instead of doing them the same day)
Language arts box
Math
Storytime

Ds always does his copywork at a different time of the day, so it is not included in our schedule.

Thanks, countrymom, that's helpful!

Is there anyone else who could share with my how they do it? Specifically if you are doing something different for Math and LA...

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Hi, I've never done a program half speed myself, but was considering it previously with my son. I think the plan would be to do one side of the guide one day and the next side the next day...i.e. Unit 1 Day 1 left side on Monday, Unit 1 day 1 right side on Tuesday; Unit 1 Day 2 left side on Wednesday, Unit 1 Day 2 Right side on Thursday, etc...

Half-speed can look a lot of different ways! Here's a post that may help you:

How does half-speed look in your home?

Have fun crafting your own half-speed!
