Bigger extension- time question

Post by Motherjoy » Wed Jul 24, 2013 8:15 pm

I'm planning on using the Bigger extension pack for my 9yo. We've never done an extension pack before. Last year, I just made a book list using what we had, and he just read them on his own. He narrated when I remember. ;)

How long should I expect it to take? I noticed that some days the kids read from two books. Are the readings pretty evenly spaced out? Perhaps on the two book days, I could just have him orally narrate to me, and not do any writing??

Hi MotherJoy! :D All of the book selections are so good - I can't pass them up myself! Even though my dc don't do extensions with the guides when they are doing them, I get the Extension Packages for free reading a few years after completing each guide. It is hard to find great books, and I love to build our home library with the extension books! :D With HOD's package savings, it's actually a pretty economical way to go about it. As far as your questions, I am thinking this thread may help...
