I loved your videos thank you very much, i am a new homeschooling mom and i have unschooled my children my daughter is 9 and son is 7 but they cannot read perfectly and struggling with it. What can i do to make them love reading as i want them to be very good readers, they are very good at art and love nature and exploration. Please give me suggestions should i wait them to read as i am afraid and think that they will be left behind 😢

I have a dear wonderful friend who is LDS. I love her and her family dearly. She was so kindly starting to mentor me in homeschooling because I basically had never met another homeschooler and there she was! She has been so instrumental in helping me and I value her and our friendship so much. That being said, before I knew that she recommended TGATB and I said I was hesitant because it was Mormon and I wasn’t sure I aligned with that. She then let me know she was LDS 😅and that she totally understood and gave different recommendations. She said as an explanation that on the flip side she was excited at the idea of an LDS curriculum and was disappointed in how lack luster it was in theology in general not just for LDS. So while I personally won’t use it, it’s not just because the founder is a member of the LDS church but because I want most of my curriculum to be very biblical and not watered down or even secular. That’s just me personally!

Great tip for checking out the "why I stop using" type videos Thank you

Gel Highlighters are amazing!

I could spend a lot here

We are currently doing All about reading level 1. We love it so far. Should we be doing All about spelling with it.

Thank you so much for sharing! We did the Pre-K version for a very short while. It was cute and engaging but now that I know about this EVIL never again.

Thank you! We are reading this, but was wondering if you knew of an audiobook version?

We just started it as well! It’s cute so far.

My only concern with TGATB is that it doesn't seem academically rigorous. I want my child to be drawn into the work, which TGATB seems to do well, but I want it to be meaty too. At least in math, I don't think I would use it.

Townsends looks so good! Thank you for mentioning them!

Farmer Boy is a great one for the boys, even if you don’t do the other Little House books. Maple Ridge looks like fun 😍

I love how unique your suggestions are! It's so great learning about new material.

Very interest in the Nat Theo subscription. We enjoy her podcast

Oh my goodness! You are definitely defending yourself and I don’t think you need to. I appreciate the heads up on this and am so glad that we never came across it and didn’t renew our subscription this year. I also used it like you as a place where a child could work while I assisted the other child but these are not child friendly topics for this age group without direct supervision and discussion. Thank you for sharing this information and I will definitely be passing this along to others as well.

Thank you sister ❤

Thanks for sharing this. I look forward to my daughter learning about the real world 😊

I can’t wait to hear about the shop class.

Thanks for your review now I Wan to get it!

I can honestly say I don't know why you don't have more subscribers. I have used almost every curriculum brand out there and you still manage to surprise me. I love your finds.

I think I missed where you said what you DO use for history?? Megan and Katie are my good friends and I have always thought it sounds a little overwhelming for my style too so I was wanting to know what you use for History 😊

I’m so glad you are highlighting this amazing curriculum! I just joined the FB group and there are so many positive testimonials! My sweet 2nd grader seems to have a lot of math anxiety. I think I’m going to pause Saxon 2 with her and switch to these books and see how it goes. So thankful we have so many great resources available to fit our kids’ unique circumstances!

Thanks. Form sounds fun

This sort of reminds me of Masterbooks math. Im finishing up Math w Confidence level 1 and im intrigued by this. Great review. Thanks.

Great picks ! My oldest is in 1st grade and because of your videos we are doing all about spelling 1 and f.o.r.m. and are loving it! We also have life of fred but haven't started that yet (it is in our morning basket rotation)

Thank you so much for this video! Love your enthusiasm. It is so exciting to find this curriculum!

Hmm i could put the books onto yoto cards for the kids. We're starting generations this year!

Do you think the phonics volume 2 by itself is ok to do without volume 1? Also, Are each of the books supposed to be for a semester? My little one is beyond learning the basic letters and letter sounds, and is working on blends such as ch, sh, ing, ee, etc, which he already has a pretty good grasp on. So I would hate to buy volume 1 and not need it. Would these blends I mentioned plus more blends be covered in Volume 2? In reality Im looking for something to have him practice more advanced words for one semester. Lastly, does Gods story level 1 have to be purchased with the generations phonics books or can they be done separately during different times? I ask because I am looking to possibly having my son do the level 1 Gods story reading curriculum next year, and having him finish working on phonics the rest of this year. Thank you so much for your videos and responses. You are always so helpful.

Thank you Abby!

I love masterbooks! We have that exact science book. My kids love nature and my daughter loves the short lessons in this book. I’m barely getting into nature journaling with her so thanks for mentioning that tip. I got mine from Amazon from sherry hayes seasoned homeschool mom:) and YASSS nature readers from Christian liberty !!!! I just ordered mine too hehe I think I will enjoy reading this just as much as my kids.

My oldest is currently in a Reggio Emilia preschool. I wanted her to start interacting with kids since we live in a rural area. She loves it, I love it! It’s been really great. When we start true homeschooling we might stick with it for another year or so but I’m leaning towards Charlotte Mason as well

You're 100% not annoying! LOVE your joy!

This was super helpful for me, as I sift through different approaches in preparation for my daughter’s first year of school. I’m a former Montessori assistant guide, so that’s definitely where I’m most comfortable and confident as a teacher. (Plus I still have some of my old materials.) Charlotte Mason really appeals to me as well, so I wonder how well the two pedagogies would play together. 🤔 If I’m not mistaken, Mason and Montessori were contemporaries, but Mason wasn’t too keen on Montessori’s approach.

Thank you so much!! This seems like exactly what I am looking for! Great explanation and breakdown.

Thank you for this flip through. I’ve been curious and am actually considering having my little one switch over next school year. I would like to see a full flip through of math 1? Would it be possible to make a video on this? Ive seen your level 2 flip through but I would like to see a full math 1 flip through as well, to try and figure out what math level to place him in next year.

The giveaway has ended.

So inappropriate!

Hey!! Will you be able to fo a flipthrough of the kindergarten math anytime soon? Im trying to decide between generations and horizon or if i should get both. I trust your reviews. You show pros and cons that are super helpful.

I appreciate this concise summary very much as I work towards determining the best homeschooling approach for my kids!

Also in MN! Loved the video! My homeschool space is much the same I appreciate you showing yours and making me feel like mine is normal great video ❤!

I plan on getting that set soon.

Thank you for sharing and being honest. We are homeschooling BECAUSE of this junk in school!!!!

I find it slanderous for people (not the creator by many online and in this comments section) to imply that The Good and The Beautiful should be avoided for doctrinal reasons. The publisher has gone out of her way to incorporate viewpoints of various faiths and to be extremely transparent about any content that could be associated with LDS. A simple search on the website will give you all that information. Meanwhile, there are other companies who's publishers have made horribly racist, misogynist and even abusive comments and no one has any concerns about using his curriculum.

Loved every second of this video!!!! Thank you!!! You’re my speed and easy to follow!! 💜💜

Thank you! I had never heard about this book, until I watched the movie, Greater, based on a true story.
