Hi,
My dh and I are so happy to hear about the HOD guides going through high school. We know at this point that the Lord is showing us His plan for our homeschooling journey. I have found that in the past I have added things (states/capitols, presidents, other art, etc.), but I would rather stay with the work in the guides because I know Carrie has thought through it all and come up with a plan. So, I am wondering if typing is scheduled in any of the guides. We have a cd for the kids to use and it does not honestly add much time to their day, but I guess I am just wondering.

I also have to say that I am happy to NOT have to be researching curriculum every year now for my dc!

Blessings,
Sherry

I am adding in an online typing course. I found it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/. It's called Dance Mat Typing. I haven't tried any of the lessons myself, but my Kindergartner has. He seems to enjoy it a lot.

While I don't know about typing and HOD inclusion, I will share that last summer I purchased Mavis Beacon Typing at Target for $20. My oldest did it last summer and my middle will do it this summer.

It was inexpensive and seemed to work and was a great summer activity.

We also use Mavis Beacon, and the kids do enjoy it.

Unless she plans to add into the future guides to my knowledge none of the guides have typing included. I literally just order Typing Instructor for Kids from CBD today. I looked at Mavis Beacon but in the end I liked Typing Instructor a bit better. I have heard wonderful things about Mavis Beacon though. I don't think either of them would be a bad decision

Thanks, Ladies, for your comments. We have the Typing Instructor and the kids seem to like it, but I was just curious.

Have a blessed weekend!
