littlebylittle Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have a K-er currently in school. I am planning to homeschool next year and wondered what you thought of starting Saxon 2 with him in the fall or if you think Saxon 1 is better. Also, I will have a K-er next year along with my oldest who will be in 1st grade next year. I would love to do as much as I can with them together - most or all subjects if possible to avoid frazzle mommy with a toddler in tow as well. The second-born is also rather bright and is keeping up with the oldest at this point with the exception of a couple of things, but she picks up rather quickly.

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 There is an assessment/placement test you can print out from their website. I would try that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 My older two are really close as well (just shy of 17 mos apart). While it is feasible to combine in a few things, I'd recommend keeping math and language arts separate. This way you won't be keeping one child back while waiting for the other to catch up. As far as Saxon, I'd use the placement test to figure where he should start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 We mostly do Saxon a year ahead, but I would give the placement test you can find online. My guys are all close in age, with my oldest 2 being only 13.5 months apart. They do everything together, except math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
