However, that has been about it so far! We have just started narration this school year with the MFW history readings. Adding narration to her Sonlight readings would be beneficial as well. I wish that I could be of more help to you! As for Write on Target, I bought a copy at our local homeschool convention. However, I did locate the company online at https://www.eapublishing.com/ontarget.asp We just purchased the student workbook. I did notice that they have a Read on Target as well. I have not looked at it though. Mindy,

I first found your hubbard cupboard website 4 years ago when I started homeschooling k. It is so neat to now see you are homeschooling as well. I've loved your resources. We just finished doing MFW Adventures this past year. We also used the SL DVD to go with their science. It was great to have for the experiments. We use the SL readers as well. I wondered how you go about using them and teaching reading. We've been using their comprehension questions and now I have my child narrate back what she read, but I feel like we're missing something. Would love to hear what you suggest. Also, where can you find Write on Target? Thanks so much, Mindy Hi Michelle! I first found your hubbard cupboard website 4 years ago when I started homeschooling k.

I have visited there and it is one of the reasons my interest was peeked in trying to do a weekly nature walk with the kids. As for writing...I did have my two girls, while at the preK level, try to hold their pencils correctly while tracing the letter. I didn't force them to hold it correclty, but did show them the proper way and made gentle reminders as needed. I guess that I am of the camp that thinks you need to show children the right way and develop good habits early as opposed to reteaching and retraining later. Hope this helps some! Amy,

I just found Leading Little Ones to God at my library after you posted it. I love finding new books from other's posts. Have you been to this website http://handbookofnaturestudy.blogspot.com/ She posts lessons from The HandBook of Nature Study. We are starting your Joyful Hearts 4's program right now. I was wondering as we do the letter tracing sheets, should I try and teach my child to hold the pencil correctly. I've heard some people say that you shouldn't force writing and pencil holding too early, and I've heard others say that children not corrected will develop bad habits. What do you think? You do a wonderful service posting your preschool programs on the web. I tell my friends with preschoolers about your site. It's been a huge blessing to my family : ) Hi Michelle,

I hope you are finding your groove. I am still in the planning stages of everything and I am getting ready to do the copying. When you list it like that it doesn’t look like too much.
