CherryBomb- We've used Hey Andrew, and it's pretty good. It's very Biblically based and incremental. I think with an older kid you could easily skip the first and maybe second/third levels. The Reader is a good intro to the alphabet sounds. It moves very slowly and teaches a lot of the Greek through English (which I don't like), ie they spell the letter names in English words and have the kids match the English word to the Greek letter---that doesn't make sense to me. Ditto with teaching kids to associate the letter sounds with English words, so alpha says "a" as in "father", why not "agape" so the student is actually learning Greek words? But that's just my little quirk with it, and I do have a little bit of background with Greek so am maybe more comfortable with jumping right in.

I think it could be really good using the later levels with an older child and using Greek/English picture books and "My First Book" by Poloizos (sp?) along with Song School Greek/Greek Code Cracker for a foundation. Honestly, I find the HA materials a little dry and boring (I mean, I know it's Ancient Greek, but still!), so we are using the GCC, then My 1st Book, then SSG (which all are very lively and engaging) and then maybe Greek for Children (not sure yet), but I still pull out pages from HA for a little review or shoring up the other Greek materials we're using.

MLW- thanks for the clarification! My dd has the same prob with wanting to basically re-tell all of the details. We are working on narrowing it down to the important bits, and that's where I think that we need a little help.

ocelotmom- Incredible! I wish our library had the same thing! That would help so much if we could just input all of our extra books for the year once at the beginning of the year.
