So after hearing all of the rave reviews of Life of Fred, I bought Fractions and Decimals for my older sons. I was going to substitute LOF one day a week instead of Saxon/MM.
I went to check on him in his room before bed tonight after he had been reading for awhile, and found him reading the decimals book after I had given him the fractions book today. I asked him why he was looking at the wrong one, and he told me he finished the entire book today! I asked him a few questions about it, and he told me the whole story, lol, all about Fred, the bike, and everything else. Now he's a few chapters into the next one.
Needless to say, the books are a big hit at our house. I think I'll have to keep the next few with me so he's not trying to get through calculus at age 12. :lol:
