When my oldest did Year 4 it was the same way. The way we do readings at our house just makes things take longer-- I have them narrate every reading. I recently gave myself permission to have "reading only" days (no narration) when we have doctor appointments or other life things happening, as long as they don't occur more than once or so every couple of weeks. Also, once the summer schedule hits, we only narrate select readings. For example, on the summer schedule, my Year 4 girl is only narrating George Washington's World, This Country of Ours and Physics Lab in the Home (Science and History spines), while my Year 7 girl is only required to narrate Birth of Britain, The Once and Future King, How to Read a Book and Ourselves (History and Government/Civics). This is making things go a lot faster, but there is still a chance we will have "leftovers" by September. I have decided not to worry about it. I want them to get all the juice out of these books, and if some of them take a little longer because of it, I'm okay with that.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875603488434952711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24404310.post-78753739004379903262008-05-12T20:10:00.000-07:002008-05-12T20:10:00.000-07:00What years are your girls?

We are on Year 2 but as a result of my crazy year, we are probably going to make Year 2 last into next year plus pick up some readings we have not gotten to like Trial and Triumph and some Read Alouds I just could not get done. We will do our 3rd grade math, etc but I just think we need to quit trying so hard to get it all in.Amy Witthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850909918294877607noreply@blogger.com
