LHFHG without LHTH first?
LHFHG without LHTH first?
Hi Everyone,
I am deciding which books to order for my dd. She will be 5 in June, so K in the fall. I think she is ready for LHFHG (she can read, so I think doing a letter of the week thing would be very boring for her)...but, we haven't done anything *formal* yet. Is there anything from LHTH that would be good to do over the summer for her or will she be fine to just jump into LHFHG in the fall? I have two other littles so eventually, I would use LHTH with them. Thanks for your advice!

Hi Erin!
I think that if I were in your shoes, I would just go with LHFHG in the fall. LHTH is a fun and sweet program. I'm glad you'll get to do it with your other little ones!

Re: LHFHG without LHTH first?
We started off with LHFHG with our son and had no problems. If you wanted to do something you could do a few of the action rhymes to get her used to them. My son struggled with those at first, as he is a child that doesn't just jump into something and it was new and different for him. Other than that, we have done great!

Re: LHFHG without LHTH first?
I have no experience yet with HOD, but I can tell you that we will be starting our 6 year old son on Beyond to start out because he's already (almost) completed K in a different curriculum.
Re: LHFHG without LHTH first?
I have to agree with the other moms. I, too, started my 5 yo ds in LHFHG this year without having LHTH before it. He is doing just fine. If your daughter is reading (you go, girl), then she should really enjoy LHFHG.
Just my 2 cents.

Re: LHFHG without LHTH first?
I plan on starting my daughter who will be 5.5 in September and K in the LHFHG guide. I think you could do that with yours, too. You can always start out a little slow if you need to get her used to it. If she can read , i think she is definately ready for it.

Re: LHFHG without LHTH first?
Thank you everyone! I think I will go with LHFHG in the fall without doing LHTH first. That was what I was thinking based on the info on the website, but I feel better about the decision after seeing responses from those of you with experience. Thank you so much!
