My original plan was to combine my two kids into CTC for the fall. Looking it over, it may be a bit more work than my 9yo can do. I am toying with doing Preparing with both kids with the 9yo doing the deluxe history readings (she loves to read) and the 11yo doing the extension package or doing Bigger with Extensions for the 9yo and CTC with the 11yo. I'm not sure if the 11yo needs the extensions for CTC or not. My 9yo has not had cursive yet so Bigger might be perfect. I already own Bigger with Extensions from my older son. I considered doing Preparing with the 9yo and CTC with the 11yo but can't afford to buy 2 programs.
So my questions are these:
How much time does the Bigger Extension add to the day?
How much time does the Preparing Extension add to the day?
How much time does the Preparing Deluxe History readings add to the day?
How much time does the CTC Extension add to the day?
Thanks

Hi Lee Ann! I have not done the extensions, but I own them all and have edited the schedules for them... I have done the deluxe and loved them. I'd say...
Bigger Extensions - 10-15 min.
PHFHG Extensions - 15-20 min.
PHFHG Deluxe - 10 min.
CTC Extensions - 25 min.

HTH! I'll add that the follow-up suggestions are optional and add time to these.
In Christ,
Julie

Thanks Julie,
That is good to know! We'll had a great deal of difficulty getting school done in a reasonable amount of time each day for years. I didn't want to add it too much time with the extensions.
