 Written on August 9, 2002 Summary: This series is a MUST HAVE! You just can't beat this book. Not only does it tell you what your child should be learning, it's right there for you. This isn't just a list of topics - it has the actual stories, biographies, math games, etc. right there for you. One of my favorite parts is the literature section. It has the basic stories, poems, fables, and sayings every well-rounded child should now. And the science and history sections have great introductions/overviews of topice - great for unit studies. We use this book for homeschooling, and every homeschooler should have it. Note: to help you buy the right grade - for most books, you often have to buy a grade level higher for a homeschooled child, but the grade levels of these books are very accurate. Written on June 24, 2002 Summary: Very good home schooling resource I just discovered this series and am so happy I did! Pulling together a mix of materials for our home school curriculum has been quite overwhelming. This book provides a design that I can use to structure my other home school materials into a rich, well-organized curriculum. I love the layout of the book, with its well written stories in many subjects such as literature, history, and geography, just to name a few. This book provides a wonderful foundation for our first year of home schooling. I loved it so much, I immediately purchased the 2nd and 3rd grade volumes as well. I highly recommend this series to all home schooling families but most especially to those just starting out on their home schooling journeys. Written on March 11, 2002 Summary: We Really Apppreciated this Book. And so will You. This is an outstanding story book that's fun to read and excellent at educating young children. We read something from this book almost every evening. Both my seven-year old and four-year old love something from this book. This book gives a good selection of classic children's stories, fun poems, singable songs, wise fables, and other works that are fun to read. It also gives great introductions to American history, world history, science, art and much more. What you see in this book is what your child should be learning at an ideal school. Since no school is perfect and can cover everything, use this book as a great way of ensuring that your chilren receive an outstanding education. This book tells you what you need to teach your first grader, and it's good reading. Next year we will buy the volumes for second grade and kindergarten. It's interesting that one review made a claim that this book is a little too liberal. The fact is that the editor has been closely associated with forger Education Secretary William Bennett, a social conservative. In fact, the information in this book is neither liberal nor conservative. It's just excellent and enjoyable education for you kids, based on solid empirical research... Written on March 6, 2002 Summary: PRICELESS BOOK!!! This book is absolutely priceless!!! I dreaded teaching my daughter because I hadn't the slightest idea of how much of what to teach her!! This book is a GREAT resource!!! Written on August 4, 2001 Summary: good This book series is very beneficial for us because our focus public school follows the core knowledge curriculum. This book is packed with good stuff and is a great guide. |
