I am so excited. I have prayed about this and thought long and hard about it. In the end, I have decided to give HOD another go with my older son. Using R&S English this year, he has made tons of progress and is now where I want him to be English-wise. His writing is coming along, spelling may always be a challenge for this kiddo. Last year, I tried him in Bigger with Extensions and it was just too much work on History and not enough on the basics for him, seeing as he really needed to focus on the basics. This year, I have chosen to do CTC with him. I placed my order last night and I really feel like God has led me back to HOD. There are a lot of things that are done differently in CTC and I think each thing makes this a better fit for my son. He is doing R&S English 4 right now and will be ready to go into English 5 for CTC.

The Science in CTC is perfect, and my son has increased his reading abilities by a mile this year. I printed out the first week via pdf and showed my son. He got so excited seeing all of the things he would be doing by himself. When he saw the poetry mixed with art, he BEGGED me to get this manual!

He loved the Science too!
My younger guy is very naturally moving on to Beyond this year for the left side and Bigger for the right side. I can't wait to get started!
