Summary: What a find!
Review: This book may just save my sanity. 36 weeks of daily lessons, in 6 subjects, all planned out for you! All you have to do is "read and do"! Could it be any better? Well, yes. For one thing, the pages are all front and back, even the ones that aren't part of a particular week, even the ones that have cut and paste activities on the other side. That is my main gripe. Also, this book is laid out to follow the public school calendar (start in fall, end in early summer). We started school in January and are planning to end in September, so I've had to juggle a few of the activities and lessons around so that we're not studying Autumn in Winter, and so on. Those two snafus aside, this is a great, well-rounded book, and will help you to cover all the bases. You'll need to supplement with library books and whatever other materials you and your child desire.

Summary: Different from your average workbook
Review: This book was different in that along with the typical worksheet pages, it had each day planned out with an abundance of creative ideas. The lesson plans were very helpful to me as a beginning homeschool teacher. I felt the rate of introducing the ABC's was a little slow for my child, so I mixed and matched weeks to make it more difficult. I would definitely recommend this to anyone just starting to homeschool.

Summary: A bit easy for my son who was homeschooled through preschool
Review: This is a very well laid out book. I enjoy the worksheets, I enjoy many of the projects, additional activites and guidance given. I homeschooled my son through preschool work since age two, so at age four he knows his letters and numbers quite well and was ready for a bit more of a challenge. This book, and series in particular is perfect for the beginning homeschooler, as well as the budget minded experienced homeschooler. My son desired that we up the speed a bit!

Summary: whoops
Review: This is my first year using the Learn at Home Series. I was hoping this book would cover our full curriculum needs (with a little supplementing, of couse). It provides Lesson Plans but most subjects just give you a topic without further assistance.

I have been using the Comprehensive Curriculm of Basic Skills from the same company and love it.
