I started FORM fitness and all about spelling because of your videos and we are LOVING both!

I’m thankful I came across this. I’ve heard how great Reading Eggs is, but wanted to find some reviews first. Definitely not using it now.

Abby! I would love it if you did a video on how to store the printable unit studies. I bought several well…. let’s just say I love a great deal 😂 Now almost all are printed and bound, but I have a HUGE MESS and overwhelmed. Thanks Friend 😊

wow i’m so glad i saw this video and the duolingo one.

I'm so glad you are talking about God's Big World since I wasn't clear on why you weren't going to use it from your last video. I would love to see how they compare to the Answer in Genesis Bible Homeschool 4-year curriculum they have.

Thank you for following up on your experience.

I’m currently doing generations level k math and I LOVE IT. it ties God into every lesson and helps remind the parent to always include God and godliness in how we teach our children math 💛😊

I’m trying to find where you talk about not using God’s Big Story. What video is that in? I’ve been watching all your Generations videos but can’t find it. I’d love your thoughts.

WOW! I love your passion. You are so passionate about this, so much so that it made me rethink some of our curriculum and how I could readjust to include some of these books. Great video!

Thank you for this amazing video it really helped me

Looking for a science for my 3rd grader, the God Made Me looks great!

I can attest to how important it is to pronounce the letter sounds correctly and how if you don't you may struggle reading.

Thank you for sharing the giveaway! I just entered 🎉

Thank you so much for the recommendation. I just placed an order.

Is the textbook absolutely necessary? Do they have suggestions for SOTW for each week (and could someone just use that)?

So good, for real. I always try to connect with the author before I ever buy something. And now with everything, there are so many authors out there!!!

What an amazing list of books! I loved your son's comments and fun personality! Your commentary and personality are so fun, too! I loved when your son said he didn't recommend one of the books for himself. I too don't like the sad dog books. The only dog book I recommend is Big Red. The dog doesn't die. :)

Is there a flip through of Modern World? I'm curious about the geography pages in that one.

Just picked this up and as a Sunday School teacher and a long time TCG fan I can't reccomend it enough... The art is adorable and the gameplay is simple enough for kids but engaging enough for a vet like me

We used the Proverbs book last year and it created some awesome conversations!

I am loving generations for my kindergartener so far. I even bought their curriculum for his first grade year. The lessons are quick and my son loves them. It was so important for me that the curriculum I chose be Christian in worldview. Preferably more than just a devotional or a Bible lesson. Which we also do! My son often wants to do more than one lesson in a sitting. We’re doing the first phonics in kindergarten since he’s a little beyond the letters and sounds. But he loves doing them both! If someone’s kids like learning through stories, this so far definitely fits that bill.

So if im Not christian, OR mormon, does that matter when using The good and the beautiful? I don't want any religious stuff forced on them..

That kit is amazing!! What care and consideration they used on it. Love it! I will check with my library here in NJ to see if we have those. Thank you 🙏🏼🎄✝️

I love this curriculum!! My kids have learned so many cool facts on top of the Math!

We tried several math curricula over the elementary and early middle school years for our oldest, ended up with Life of Fred as the third or fourth one that we tried - and it's the one that stuck. Our oldest jumped in at beginning algebra (with a brief detour to go back to the beginning to catch up on the story line) while the other two started with Apples in middle to late elementary - and the oldest is now discovering that the story of how Fred got to KITTENS is indeed about halfway through LoF: Calculus. (Kid #2 is doing Advanced Algebra in ninth grade, and kid #3 had finished Decimals and Percents last spring at the end of sixth grade before he started at a charter school this fall while the older two are still homeschooled full time). The books up through trig/pre-calc were good as standalone curriculum (using the "zillions of extra problems" books only occasionally as needed) and fairly little help from me once they got to about pre-algebra (only once in a while for what one of the kids found to be a particularly tricky concept). However, when my oldest got to calculus this year, that changed somewhat as the problem sets have only answers and are not worked out in detail as they were in previous books. It's still entirely adequate as a curriculum - he's planning to take the BC calculus AP in the spring after using LoF then an AP review book - but we've been doing all of the problem sets together so i can help him much more actively than i had been doing with earlier books. I suspect that Calculus was the first one written and it shows... Still very much a good curriculum but absolutely requires a parent who understands calculus to help (and that with a kid who enjoys math and is good at it) - this was NOT the case with the earlier books up through pre-calc which stood on their own much better. For what it's worth, the oldest is taking dual enrollment classes at the local community college this fall and had to take a math placement test to be allowed to take chem 1 (having used life of Fred as his only math curriculum of any sort since seventh grade) - and appropriately (since he had just finished LoF pre-calc) placed into calculus. Which we're doing at home rather than at the community college as I'm pretty sure that LoF: calculus is a considerably higher level of material than the classes available there. Other than that one quibble specifically with Calculus (which is only a minor annoyance for us but could be a much bigger issue for a family in which neither parent can help with calculus), love the series and can't praise it enough!

Wow... thanks for the heads up. Reading Eggs vs ABC Mouse is clear call so far. Unless ABC Mouse has it too!

We LOVE Mr Pen!! I bought one of their Bible covers a year ago and the handle ripped off a couple of months ago and they gave me a full refund!

I just told my two boys that your son plays Minecraft for schooling. They liked that idea. Im not the artsy craftsy kinda mom 😂.

Has anyone used k12 free online curriculum and how do you like it?

Do you feel it's teaching enough? I'm looking at purchasing the units but have seen negative reviews. Thank you

Thank you, just what I need to hear to do not use this garbage

We are all in on Charlotte Mason method schooling, I tried to a couple other methods early on (eclectic, unit study) but CM is honestly perfect for us.

Love this curriculum ! Buying additional levels! Thank you!

Aw man. I used reading eggs a lot when I was little (I'm 19 now). Loved it and played it a lot, sad to see it go down this route.

Apologia has been so wonderful, its such short lessons😅

Thank you for sharing!!

Ohh this looks so good!😍

I absolutely agree “Vote with our dollars” thanks for the reminder 😊

Bah! Reading eggs sucks!

See my biggest problem is I don't consider myself very smart. I mean I'm not dumb I'm just not very educated when it comes to teaching and this is my 1st year homeschooling and I worry if I can properly teach my kids.

So what is a good alternative to Reading Eggs for an older student struggling.

I just thrifted a book haul of 194 books for 27 dollars for my book giveway at applebees( 3701 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA 70002). I am the host there. I have given away over 2900 books for babies kids teens and adults in 10 months. Let's get this generation reading❤😊

We’ve been doing something like this intuitively… but my child was overwhelmed with *task-switching*… I decided to try one subject a day - 3 hrs (6x a week) which allows us to take time off whenever we want bc we have extra days in the bank. ONE subject a day, 10-15 min breaks after every hr or so. It is so much better, reminds me of college. Our mornings look like yours.. with recess in the afternoon-it’s a treat to be outside after doing all that intense work. Let me tell you… she gets 2x the work done in those 3hr blocks than a weeks worth of switching every hour (yes, if she wanted to, she can just do 3 days of school n that would be it.. but our goal is to get her in college early if possible). U gotta try different things in different seasons.. n pay attention when your kid is struggling… they may need something different.

It makes sense the breakdown of trust in whatever the current reading eggs administration, but I'd like to suggest the majority appropriate content is what should be treated as 20yrs old abandonware by now. Think that is a more accurate depiction of the situation, so would be nice to try and have a course of action to modify the current setup of the content yourself rather than I think mistakenly saying forget it. As possible... and of course the sounds and letters portion which was my favorite would just not have this issue so that as well

Loveeee this! Our kids don’t need hundreds of dollars worth of Christmas gifts! 🫣 Have a great break!🎉

So glad you teachi right way

These look amazing i have had some of these in my book giveway at work

I love this! Can you share what you do for the kindergarten year?

We played the Water Works card game when I was growing up in the 80s! :)
