Spelling and dictation for extensions in Bigger?

[mommy25]

What if the spelling and dictation in Bigger is too easy for my 5th grader? (I am using Bigger next year for my 2nd grader and using extentions). I heard that there are more appropriate lists for them in Preparing. Can anyone offer suggestions? Thanks

I do know that the next guide has more dictation in the back. What I have heard several other moms have done is they ordered the next guide and completed the dictation found within. Then when they go to actually use Preparing the following year, they can tell HOD that they already purchased the Preparing guide and HOD gives them a credit on the history package when they place their order.

I do hope someone else chimes in that has been there and done that though. I am sorry that I am not of much more help.

My have read on the boards that the passages come from Modern Speller, which is public domain.
