Time it takes to do HOD help please........

Post by Missy OH » Sat Jun 28, 2008 3:39 pm

Can you give me an estimation of how long each subject is suppose to take in LHFHG and Preparing, please. I have a lot of kids to coordinate, one computer, one mom, and they share books. I'm hoping I've left enough time.

Thank you!

Blessings,
Missy

Carrie is probably the only one who can answer this about preparing.

Little Hearts takes only 90 minutes a day and you can have your older kids take turns working with your dd on a subject while you work with someone else if you need to. They would probably enjoy being the teacher.

:D

Sometimes we finished LHFHG in 45 min. The reading lesson seems to take less time than other reading programs though. Sometimes it did take the full 90 min. I would say I spent an hour or less most days though. I haven't done preparing so I can't say on it.

I have found in LHFHG, that it takes us about 90 min. just like it said it would in the brochure. But we've only done 3 days so I am definately not an expert. :wink:

We take an hour or so to do Little Hearts. Some days it takes longer so closer to the 90 minutes. But generally we do it in a little over an hour.

Missy,

LHFHG takes 90 minutes a day. It usually takes us about 30 minutes to do the left side of the plans in LHFHG. Then, each box on the right side takes about 15 minutes or less. :wink:

Preparing takes 4 hours a day (including time spent on math and DITHR). 1/3 of the time in Preparing is teacher-directed, 1/3 is semi-independent, and 1/3 is independent. :D If you have an older student using Preparing, even more of the time will be independent (as long as that child can read and follow directions on their own quite well). :D

Hope that helps!

Blessings,
Carrie
