SpicyPeanut Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Anything? DD will be 4 in September. She knows a lot of the preschool stuff already but isn't ready for K stuff yet maturity and attention span wise. She knows all the capital and lowercase letters and their primary sounds, can count to about 16 (rote and objects), can add objects, knows colors, shapes, can sort by size and weight, has an extensive vocabulary, decent fine motor skills, can write her name,... I like the organized layout of LHTH but I don't want her to be bored with "school". I want this to be a good "intro to school year" that's fun... but I'd like to know she was going to learn something new. Any suggestions? (Oh and I know there are many free resources however, I don't do very well with those and end up quitting about 2 weeks in because I get distracted... I have ADD and I need as few moving parts as possible). Thanks in advance :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartatHome Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 How about using little hands for the "fun" aspect (you can just skip the letter parts) and just use it for bible and the activities and add some workbooks. I love the rod and staff ABC and GHI series. That would keep it gentle, fun and still learning progressively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterbug Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 We start with LHTH, I skip or change some of the easier activities. Then if she wants to continue with any school she can work on HWOT, ETC primers, LOTW activities, AAR Pre-reading, and soon we'll add RS A to the mix. She often wants to participate in what her brothers are doing, so any lapbooks, projects, notebooking, etc. LHTH is just for her, it's fun and she loves it, even if some of it is too easy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A home for their hearts Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 How about Five in a Row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpicyPeanut Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks everyone. I decided (I think lol) on using a free curriculum I found at utterfliesandbarefootlasses.blogspot.com/ I believe the blog writer posts here at times. It uses a bunch of resources I was already looking at. It seems like just what I'm looking for :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpicyPeanut Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm back to considering LHTH :crying: . If I get in on ebay for cheap I'll give it a try. I loooove the looks of Memoria Press Jr. K, however, my husband isn't thrilled about the price considering she's so young and who knows if we'll even like it KWIM? Anyway... let's see if I win the bidding. If I do, I can probably just beef up the letter stuff or replace with OPGTR. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
