I knew I wanted a curriculum that would encompass all of those things, then I could supplement in the areas I wanted to add a little more focus to. Language arts is a tricky subject because it encompasses so many micro subjects like phonics, spelling, reading, writing, grammar, etc. They all good materials and I’m using Brave Writer this year in conjunction with The Good and the Beautiful for some extra writing focus. While we talk about matters related to other subjects, we stick to these two core subjects and wait until fall to add in science and history in a more concrete manner.įor language arts, I have experience using several different materials: Brave Writer, First Language Lessons, All About Reading, All About Spelling, Handwriting Without Tears, and The Good and The Beautiful. In summer, we do two subjects- language arts and math. Furthermore, I knew we’d be trying to pack up the house and move, which is another reason a grab and go curriculum was a high priority for me to start the year with. First, that it would be summer and we’d want something that was grab and go without a lot of prep work that we could fit into our days between swimming and splashing. When I knew we would begin this new school year (3rd and 1st grade) in late June/early July I knew two things. I wrote more about it in this post: Homeschooling in Rhythm of the Seasons. However, how we do school during different parts of the year looks very different. We haven’t always done this, but after some trial and error (which is all homeschool and parenting anyway, right?), we found that year round works best for us. This is my honest review and answers to FAQ. We have used it and have used other language arts curriculum as well. The Good & The Beautiful language arts curriculum was created by a homeschool mom with the goals of making an easy, beautiful, affordable, academically solid, joyful, and character building curriculum.
