LHFHG or Beyond?

Post by Mumkins » Thu Jul 12, 2012 3:08 pm

Ok, I got the oldest two uncombined now and it all worked out. I'm wondering about LHFHG or Beyond now for my 6yo. I own both. She'll be 7 in Dec. She's suppose to be going into 2nd grade here, but she's not ready for 2nd. She can print most of her upper and lower case alphabet. She really doesn't like to write much though. Reading is a bit of a challenge for her, but she's getting better. She's working on words with 'silent e' right now. She seems disinterested in everything but the books for story time in LHFHG. She eagerly helped me pick out her Beyond books and looked at all of them when they came. I ordered her new books for story time when I made the order to save on shipping. She's half way through a 1st grade math program. We do not use Singapore.

We've finished the first 7 weeks of LHFHG. Not sure if I should finish up to week 22 and switch to Beyond when LHFHG goes US history or finish all of LHFHG or just start Beyond in the fall.

It sounds like she places into LHFHG and if it was me, I'd intend to complete it with her and give plenty of time to strengthen those skills. You can always read more books to her and choose more when you get to Beyond - there are many wonderful books out there to choose from.
