I don't know if you mentioned this but The Good and the Beautiful also has FREE downloads for all their Math and Language arts. You can print them off for free from home! For our home with money being tight this year, that is a HUGE blessing!
Yes! I did this for kindergarten LA and math for my daughter. We are about a quarter of the way through LA and almost halfway done with math. I’ve been impressed with the curriculum! Also wanted to add that I put all the lessons in page protectors and we use dry erase markers. I will use for my other children in the future which makes me feel better about the cost of printing alllllll the pages out 😀
I'm not a homeschooling mom, I am school mom though but always look for ways to support my kids and as secret part of me always wished I could home schooled. So I just love watching this content. Vicariously living through you.
I totally agree with your statement that you can slow down and complete curriculum at a pace that is right for each individual child! That's one of the beauties of homeschooling compared to public schooling. That was one of the frustrations I had with teaching in public school. I had to just drag my poor babies along even if they were not ready bc we had to cover all the curriculum before standardized testing at the end of the year. 💔 Such a disservice to those who just needed more time. I'm so blessed to be able to slow down for my dyslexic child! We go at her place and she is flourishing. Love that TGATB is simplifying their program but retaining the beauty!
Just purchased Angela’s homeschool course. I am only on module 2 and this is by far the best one I have purchased . She really rounds this course out with everything you need to know and focuses on you and the child . I highly recommend everyone checks it out before it closes .
We still have a year until we actually start homeschool, but I still get so nervous and start to doubt my choice to homeschool our children. But every time I start having those doubts you save the day with homeschooling content and you never fail to give me more confidence and get me excited! Thank you so much! Definitely looking into this curriculum!
I am a first year home school mom this year and use this curriculum. I don't regret it for a second!!! Very well put together and I absolutely love it. My son is in 1st grade but we got level K he is already reading words within the first 3 weeks!!!
You look really beautiful in this video Angie! It’s the light combined with your hair and shirt. You just look autumn-ish, you know, cozy, content, radiating from the inside out.
This does look a lot better. We finished kindergarten this past year and we had to stop and just focus on one thing multiple times because it was so advanced. The little readers were a struggle because they’d ask the child to read words they hadn’t even learned. This looks much better.
This is our second year homeschooling but first year using TGTB 😇 We are using level 1 LA…very excited! I’ve heard SO many good things about this curriculum ☺️ Thank you for taking the time to share these with us Angela ♥️
Thank you so much!!! This is the best video I've seen on it so far! I am using the level K for my 1st grader and he has picked it up FAST!!! we spent 1 1/2 weeks on the purple booster cards before starting the lessons and then he soared!!! He is now reading words and we are now 4 1/2 weeks in! I highly recommend this. I am also an ADD mom (diagnosed) and I'm sure my son has it also (undiagnosed) and this has been so great so far. No regrets! I am also a first year home school mom!! I was so worried at first but this curriculum has given me so much confidence! I got this, I can do this!
The current updated levels are K-2. They are currently working on Levels 3 and 6. The new Levels 4 and 5 are considered up to date and will not be getting another update, but the Level 3 will be and eventually the Level 7. No word on if they plan to do an actual Level 8 now that the levels are considered on grade level. Bobby and the Big Road was part of the previous Level K we just completed (I know they've had several versions). But it looks like they pushed it back quite a bit; it was previously in the first unit. The updates look great in the K and Level 2. The Level 1 appears to have a lot of similarities between the old and new, but I still chose to switch over even though I already had a copy of the old Level 1. I LOVE the new ABC Booster Cards and Readers. They made a ton of changes that were things I previously complained about as we went through the Level K. We did take more than one year to get through Level K as my daughter was not yet in kindergarten when we started. When she was done she was a fantastic reader, but there were moments that frustrated me. I think the Booster cards will help parents/students review as needed; they really would have helped us as I had to find different ways to review the concepts and slow down until my daughter was ready.
Thank you. That was very helpful. I have a kiddo who has a mild intellectual disability and adhd. 😂 so I created my own curriculum by using bits and pieces from other teachers on teachers pay teachers, pinterest activities, thinking of ways to challenge her etc. We are repeating kindergarten and I've been looking into something I could just use instead of so much prep work with what I was doing this first year of homeschooling. I have no problem prepping and adding things if I need to on top of this, but it would be nice to see if she can follow along a full curriculum already mostly prepped. I think we're gonna go with this for our 2023-2024 school yr. 👍
This hairs is cute but MAN I love your short hair. I know these are extensions and you were thinking about getting some but your short hair makes you look so young! Either way you’re GORGEOUS!!
Thank you for reviewing this curriculum! I’m a first time homeschool mom. My daughter is entering 1st grade level. And there’s so many curriculums to choose from! This video def helped make me feel more confident in choosing TGTB! I’m so excited and nervous for this journey but videos like this help so much! 🤍
Angela, I’m torn between the Good and the Beautiful and All About Reading for my 1st and 2nd grader. First year homeschooling. I’ve seen You rave about both curriculums. I’m curious now which one you would like if you had to choose?
And for the good and the beautiful realize that you may need to start with their preschool and/or kinder. prep curriculum before kindergarten, regardless of your child’s age. They have pre-requisites of what your child should know before beginning kindergarten. Those include knowing all letter names (upper and lowercase) and all letter sounds AND sounding out some 2 and 3 letter words. If your child hasn’t been using a formal curriculum before that, you may need something else first. I would describe this level as public school end of kindergarten/beginning of first grade.
Thanks for the info! I was just talking to my husband like an hour ago and we were pondering out loud if we should start at the Kindergarten or get the prep courses first!
@@JenniPugh if you child hasn’t done a formal curriculum before, I would give them the placement test. Then you will probably start them on preschool or kindergarten prep. Don’t rush into a harder level than you child is ready for. Especially at the beginning of this series. Even with f you start at preschool level and find it to be easy for your child, treat it as review and move more quickly through it. Then spend more time on kindergarten prep (it is a short curriculum - maybe 1-2 months). Even if you start on kindergarten in January, you will know that your child has the solid foundation they need with sounds and letter names and sounding out short words and that’s what matters in making a confident competent reader.
I tried TGTB and felt like there were so many gaps, hope they filled them but we’ve found curriculum peace with Memoria Press and I’m not about to fix what’s not broken!
Hi there can you share with me what gaps you are referring to? I bought this course and I’m new to homeschooling so I’d appreciate knowing what I could potentially be missing
Now I'm wondering if I should have skipped the sale this spring on level K and another level, and waited for the new stuff! I have loved their curriculum either way. This was the curriculum that finally got me to believe I can homeschool. Do you also use their high school levels? There's probably already a video on your page about it, so I'll go look for that next...
The previous LA was way advanced, it was a big jump from the PreK. We gave up about 1/4 of the way in. Going to focus on completing AAR level 1 before moving on to this new TGTB LA.
I’m curious, do you HAVE to use the electronic narration of the scenes or is it also written out in the book? Thanks for this flip through! So helpful!
If I have both of my children (4& almost 6) are doing the kindergarten curriculum, would you suggest buying two whole language arts sets or just one language arts full set, and an extra course workbook?
I have so many questions. After doing AAR, are you planning on going back to TGATB? Also were you adding something different for grammar while doing AAR? We're thinking of switching to a read focused curriculum for my eldest for first grade and stalling grammar until 3rd grade. She just successfully finished TGATB K (older version)
You might be interested in Learning Language Arts Through Literature. Also open and go. The first two levels (Blue and Red) are reading based, and level 3 (Yellow) starts to introduce gentle grammar, spelling. Great integrated approach. ☺️
Hello there from TN 👋🏼👋🏼big fan and find your videos so helpful!! Quick question…now that the TGATB updated their language arts curriculums, would you say your kids have enjoyed this MORE than All About Reading?? We are in the middle (lesson 26) of AAR and it’s kind of dry to myself and my kids. They dread the practice sheets and they get overwhelmed by them. Thinking hard of printing and trying TGATB! Would love your feedback! 😁
What I'm specifically asking about is thoroughness of the foundations of reading. I know AAR is highly recommended and has been proven to be successful. We've used TgTB for all the prek levels and that was great.
how do you think this latest version of level k compares to the previous updated version before it?? do you think it is worth purchasing the newest version, (seen here), or would the version put out before this one be about the same? thank you in advance!!!
How is this newer version vs all about reading. I cant find much info comparing the newer version of tgtb. From looking through the website the reading seems similar now
I have a 3 year old little girl who is constantly asking to go to school and do school work, but I am just not comfortable sending her out to school yet! She is well beyond her years academically and I think she’d be great at some “homeschooling-ish” work! What do you recommend for children that young?? 😍
The Good and the Beautiful has a lovely Preschool Language Arts course, but it also includes other preschool concepts like colors, numbers, shapes, etc. You might look into that if you think your daughter is ready for more formal instruction. The games are fun and the lessons are short.
So, I know there are all kinds of comments about your hair, but I have to say - you are a beautiful woman inside and out from what I see...but you are ADORABLE with your natural hair. The longer hair is pretty on you, but not your natural look. You are a natural beauty!
New homeschool mom here 👋🏻 I was looking at all about reading for my 1st and 2nd grader this upcoming school year…. How would you compare this curriculum to all about reading/spelling? Loved the video!! 🤗
If you're children are intuitive readers or pickup quickly, tgtb for sure is better because they include grammar, writing, etc in the curriculum. If they struggle with reading, AAR is better I think at teaching reading.
My son is 11 and supposed to be going in 6th grade but my husband and I have decided to try homeschooling using this curriculum. He is on a IEP through public schooling and after doing the placement I think he would do the best on the level 3 language arts and math. If I can get him to catch us this year and even be ready for level 5 next year is it OK if I am skipping 4? Will he always have to be behind using this curriculum? If he skips level 4 will level 5 make sense or will he miss and important portion that will help him with level 5?
Read tgatb placement test last page. This will answer your question. In short don’t skip a level, as it will skip over needed lessons. If your child is on an iep, they may need more time with the content, and that is ok. The most important thing is that they are learning, making progress, and becoming a skilled reader and writer. These levels do not correspond to public school grade levels. And likely in your child’s public school they are differentiating his lessons and curriculum because of his disability/iep.
Take this with a grain of salt...I am just a beginner homeschooler, too, beginning kindergarten this year. However, I have done a TON of research on reading instruction, and TG&TB does NOT align with current research, known as the "science of reading". My personal plan is tp use another free curriculum that is similar to TG&TB (Prenda Treasure Hunt Reading), combined with a Teachers Pay Teachers curriculum by Natalie Lynn Kindergarten that is aligned with current research (if you look on Teachers Pay Teachers, it is abbreviated as SOR). That's my plan...obviously, every family has a different philosophy and different curricula that will fit for them. Another beginning reading resource we love is Progressive Phonics Alphabetti books. They're also free, and SO WELL WRITTEN!!! I have been on the hunt for additional books because we flew through those, but I can't find anything that compares!!!
The geography component is world geography. My kids are all in different levels, but they've learned about Italy, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica, parts of the U.S. and others throughout the years (we've used levels K-6). It often correlates to the literature component and the stories they're reading.
I had to double take then - in your thumbnail you looked exactly like you did when you were pregnant with the twins when I first started watching! I thought you’d posted a. Old video! 🤣
This video seemed a bit odd to me. Like, not as aesthetically pleasing..... The message was good, but it was confusing sometimes when there was no audio and focusing on a lot of hand movement when the book was too blurry to even read what was on the page. Of course, I will continue to watch videos by Angie because I love what she has to say, and I don't mean to be mean, it just seemed a little off? Maybe it was just me.
OH MY GOSH - I'm an idiot!!! I forgot to add the voiceover / music, that's why it feels odd 😳 So sorry about that - hopefully that never happens again, LOL!

Perfect timing! I just received this for my 4th grader in the mail today. Looking forward to all the Homeschool content! 🤗
I just ordered this for my daughter last week. So excited to watch this
My daughter completed it in 4 months and grasp it easily and independently for the most part
Level 1 & 2 is now out! So excited. Love the new format!
Can you help me for download. I can't able to see the link
That color looks fantastic on you !!
This hairs is cute but MAN I love your short hair. I know these are extensions and you were thinking about getting some but your short hair makes you look so young! Either way you’re GORGEOUS!!

I’m curious, do you HAVE to use the electronic narration of the scenes or is it also written out in the book?
Thanks for this flip through! So helpful!
I love this version so much better!!
Is this a religious curriculum? I am trying to find non religious ones, but I love everything I have seen about this one so far
Please, please do a "what apps we use" video! ♡
Thank you! This was very helpful.
Thank you for the review! Do you plan to use this instead of AAR? Wondering if doing both will be helpful or too much?
I would also like to know this! I've been trying to figure out if I should do both
Wondering the same thing
You're hair is so pretty long it suits you 🙂
If I have both of my children (4& almost 6) are doing the kindergarten curriculum, would you suggest buying two whole language arts sets or just one language arts full set, and an extra course workbook?

How would you say this compared to All About Reading level 1? I'm undecided between AAR1 and TGTB-K.
What I'm specifically asking about is thoroughness of the foundations of reading. I know AAR is highly recommended and has been proven to be successful. We've used TgTB for all the prek levels and that was great.
Did I miss the annual back to school video series? Isn’t it normally a week long toward the end of summer? The one with the giveaways…
how do you think this latest version of level k compares to the previous updated version before it??
do you think it is worth purchasing the newest version, (seen here), or would the version put out before this one be about the same?
thank you in advance!!!
There’s a big jump from their Level K Primer & the previous LA K.
This new LA looks more appropriate as far as “next level”
We are going to give this a try again. We tried it with my older kids but coming from Abeka it didn't work well for them at that point.
how sturdy are the cuts outs? when we have to cut out from the spiral book, is it stock card or just flimsy paper?
How is this newer version vs all about reading. I cant find much info comparing the newer version of tgtb. From looking through the website the reading seems similar now
I would love to see all the animals you have.
Angela, do you use All About Reading alongside TGATB Level K?
I have a 3 year old little girl who is constantly asking to go to school and do school work, but I am just not comfortable sending her out to school yet!

How do you use this curriculum in conjunction with the All About Reading Program or do you not use those together?
Do you think All About Reading is better than Good and The beautiful K language Arts.
I loved this so much!!!! Thank you!
Yes I was thinking the same thing! Love the eyeshadow and lipstick
What is it??

Have you seen or used The Brave Writer or The Brave Learner?? I just found them.
Cute shirt! Lol random and unrelated but where did you get it?
Would love to see more reviews.
Is it possible to do your course on a phone. I don't have a computer.
I haven’t gotten caught up yet but how in the heck does your hair grow so fast or is it that it’s just been awhile between different videos?

Does the G and the B only go up to grade 8?
Hi 🙂 I love in Canada. Would you happen to know if this book is better for homeschoolers in the US ..for the geography components?
The geography component is world geography. My kids are all in different levels, but they've learned about Italy, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica, parts of the U.S. and others throughout the years (we've used levels K-6). It often correlates to the literature component and the stories they're reading.
@@jamiewagner7066 thank you !!
Do you use their math? Do you love it?
Angie, would you use this as well as AAR?
I was wondering the same thing!
I ordered last fall and mine has a dog on it 🤔
You ever thought about creating your own curriculum? 😊🕊️
I had to double take then - in your thumbnail you looked exactly like you did when you were pregnant with the twins when I first started watching! I thought you’d posted a. Old video! 🤣
Me too!!! Lmao
Are you a certified teacher or have a degree in education? Just curious?
This video seemed a bit odd to me. Like, not as aesthetically pleasing..... The message was good, but it was confusing sometimes when there was no audio and focusing on a lot of hand movement when the book was too blurry to even read what was on the page. Of course, I will continue to watch videos by Angie because I love what she has to say, and I don't mean to be mean, it just seemed a little off? Maybe it was just me.
OH MY GOSH - I'm an idiot!!! I forgot to add the voiceover / music, that's why it feels odd 😳 So sorry about that - hopefully that never happens again, LOL!
You talk way too fast.
This was a great review! T/u!!!!
